In 2017, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) released a position stand on
protein needs for exercise.

Figuring out what your body
needs to function is key here — whether it's more
protein for a weightlifting lifestyle or more healthy carbs
for lots of aerobic
exercise.

High -
protein dieting is even more important
for people that
exercise regularly because their body
needs more
for recovery and repair.
To optimize and expedite the recovery process, athletes
need to rehydrate and replenish lost stores, with a goal of repleting 100 - 150 % of body mass losses within one hour of
exercise cessation (side note: repleting 150 % may be hard on the stomach
for heavy sweaters).1 Endurance athletes especially should replenish with water, sodium, and carbohydrate within the first hour after
exercise to ensure the highest rates of glycogen (our stored energy) resynthesis.15 Recovery drinks with
protein have been reported to maximize
protein synthesis rates, consisting of approximately 0.2 — 0.4 g / kg / h
protein and 0.8 g / kg / h of carbohydrates.16 Chocolate milk has a nice carbohydrate to
protein ratio of 4:1 and is an inexpensive, but still palatable, recovery option.17
With an increase in
exercise and other physical activity comes the
need for more calories and more
protein.
For effective
exercise recovery, you
need to consume carbs to restore glycogen and blood glucose levels, and you
need to consume
proteins to provide your body with the essential amino acids (in the right ratios) to encourage cellular turnover and to repair muscle tissue.
For people training for more than an hour, such as a marathon or resistance training for several hours, you probably do need to ingest some carbohydrates during the session to maintain your performance (adding protein is also very beneficial too as researchers have shown that carbs + protein can benefit exercise performance even more than carbs alone (Valentine RJ et al, 2008)-RR

For resistance
exercise, you'll
need to eat a mix of approximately 0.3 - 0.5 g of carbs per kilogram of your target body weight and 0.3 - 0.5 g of
protein per kilogram of your target body weight, as this will help you get plenty of energy from the carbs to perform each set you do and the extra
protein will help keep muscle breakdown to a minimum while you
exercise.
However, in most cases, active individuals that
exercise on a regular basis certainly also
need adequate supplies of healthy carbohydrates
for energy and muscle glycogen replenishment as well as good sources of
protein for muscle repair.
I will also mention that
for those who do some form of intense
exercise on a regular basis, there is some research showing the
need for a higher
protein intake.
One of the reasons whey
protein is so effective
for exercise recovery is that it assimilates very quickly — it gets into your muscles within 10 - 15 minutes of swallowing it, just when they
need it most.
Endurance training increases your
need for protein, particularly if you
exercise frequently at high intensity.
I think it is a good choice
for less active puppies, and not
for those who are very high - energy and do more than 1 - 1 1/2 hours»
exercise a day -
for example Border Collies or Boxers - as they may
need more
protein and fat to sustain their energy levels.
The goal of feeding an
exercising animal is to limit muscle
protein breakdown and
protein use
for energy
needs during
exercise.
