The body of athletes require more protein than body builder or weight lifters. This is because during athletic practices like running, swimming and others the muscular mass should be strong enough to conduct long continous practice. The muscle mass is build up by proteins. The muscles may experience lack of oxygen during regular practice and may become weak. Thus require more protein so that the strength may remain maintained.
