The aim of this research was to determine the relationship among protein (PRO) intake, body composition, and muscle strength in overweight and obese firefighters. A secondary objective was to evaluate differences in body composition and muscle strength among overweight and obese firefighters with low (L; < 0.8 g·kg), moderate (M; 0.8-1.0 g·kg), and high (H; > 1.0 g·kg) PRO intake.
Relative PRO intake [r_PRO] was evaluated from 3-day dietary logs, self-reported by 43 overweight and obese male career firefighters (mean ± standard deviation; age = 37.3 ± 7.2 years; body mass index = 33.2 ± 5.0 kg·m; percent body fat [%BF] = 28.9 ± 4.0%). Body composition (fat mass [FM], %BF, lean mass [LM], percent LM [%LM]) and muscle strength (peak torque [PT], relative peak torque [r_PT] of the leg extensors) were measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and isokinetic dynamometry, respectively.
Greater r_PRO was associated with less FM, %BF, LM (r = -0.498 to -0.363) and greater %LM (r = 0.363), but not muscle strength (p > 0.05). Fat mass (r = -0.373) and %BF (r = -0.369) were associated with lower r_PT; %LM was associated with greater r_PT (r = 0.373). Individuals with L r_PRO had greater FM (mean difference ± standard error: L-H = 10.08 ± 3.18 kg), %BF (L-H = 3.8% ± 1.4%) and lower %LM (L-H = -3.7% ± 1.3%) than those with H r_PRO (p < 0.05) but no significant differences in muscle strength (p > 0.05).
Protein intake > 0.8 g·kg was associated with more favorable body composition in male career firefighters.
本研究旨在确定超重和肥胖消防员的蛋白质(PRO)摄入、身体成分和肌肉力量之间的关系。次要目的是评估 PRO 摄入量低(L;<0.8g·kg)、中(M;0.8-1.0g·kg)和高(H;>1.0g·kg)的超重和肥胖消防员之间的身体成分和肌肉力量的差异。
通过 3 天的饮食记录(由 43 名超重和肥胖的男性职业消防员自我报告)评估相对 PRO 摄入[r_PRO],这些消防员的平均年龄为 37.3 ± 7.2 岁,平均体重指数为 33.2 ± 5.0kg·m,平均体脂百分比(%BF)为 28.9 ± 4.0%。使用双能 X 射线吸收法测量身体成分(脂肪量[FM]、%BF、瘦体重[LM]、%LM)和肌肉力量(腿部伸肌的峰值扭矩[PT]、相对峰值扭矩[r_PT])。
r_PRO 与 FM、%BF、LM(r=-0.498 至-0.363)和%LM(r=0.363)减少相关,但与肌肉力量无关(p>0.05)。FM(r=-0.373)和%BF(r=-0.369)与较低的 r_PT 相关;%LM 与较高的 r_PT 相关(r=0.373)。与 H r_PRO 相比,r_PRO 低的个体具有更大的 FM(均值差异±标准误差:L-H=10.08±3.18kg)、%BF(L-H=3.8%±1.4%)和较低的%LM(L-H=-3.7%±1.3%)(p<0.05),但肌肉力量无显著差异(p>0.05)。
PRO 摄入量>0.8g·kg 与男性职业消防员更有利的身体成分有关。
