refers to the strength and hardness of bonesBone mineral density (BMD)
genetics nutrition (especially total Calories, calcium, protein, and vitamin D) physical activity levels (exercise, especially weight-bearing and strength training, increases BMD) estrogen levels (high estrogen increases BMD)Peak (Bone mineral density) BMD depends on:
“substances that improve exercise performance and are used in attempts to increase athletic or physical performance capacity”Ergogenic aid
higher protein recommendations for athletes than sedentary individuals can increase rate of skeletal muscle growth with training can increase protein intake without substantial increase in food intakeWhy take protein supplements?
Who should take protein supplements? Endurance exercise performance - probably not but maybe? Resistance exercise performance - probably yes For fat loss- maybeWho should take protein supplements?

This diet involves periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days.Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD):
This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD):
