Calculate the amount of protein needed in your diet.

One function of protein is that it helps to build and repair muscles. In the sporting world today, hundreds of athletes develop injuries ranging from hamstring problems, to dead legs. A large percentage of injuries were found to be muscle injuries (MedLine Plus, US National Library of Medicine) and as protein is vital for the body to repair, replenish and rebuild muscle, it is very important that the injured athlete take enough protein in their diet to ensure a quicker recovery. Higher levels of protein in the diet have also been linked with athletes receiving fewer injuries, although this has not been fully tested yet, there is definitely some truth behind it as more muscle is built when there is a good level of protein in your diet and more muscle will mean that you have more protection against knocks and bangs. This does not necessarily mean that less muscle injuries would be received with a higher level of muscle mass.
