The aim of this project is to investigate the potential benefits of combining a new protein beef hydrolysates extract with a regular endurance training programme on (a) body composition (b) performance (c) muscle structure (d) blood markers of health in athletes. As a second objective the investigators will analyse potential differences obtained from the ingestion of the new hydrolysates beef protein extract compared to the ingestion of others commercially available protein sources such as whey and non protein only carbohydrate contrast nutrients.
