Question

Jason, a 16-year-old high school track athlete, has set a goal to improve his 100- and 200-meter sprint times. He has seen the muscle development evident in elite sprinters and therefore desperately wants to increase his muscle mass, strength, and power. After talking about training regimens, daily nutrition, and supplementation with numerous other athletes at track meets, he has decided to begin taking several supplements to help him reach his goals. His mother is very conscientious about preparing a nourishing supper; however, Jason prepares his own breakfast and lunch, which he admits typically do not consist of quality food choices. Currently he is resistance training two to three times per week and taking the following supplements:

“Mega” multivitamin/mineral supplement

* Boron

* Ornithine and arginine

* Chromium picolinate

* Whey protein

1. Will these supplements increase his muscle mass, strength, or power?

* Explain each of these supplements, their ergogenic claims, effectiveness, and if they are recommended.

2. What would you suggest (dietary) to Jason to help him achieve his personal goal of increasing muscle mass to become a stronger, more powerful athlete? Try to avoid suggesting the use of supplements (protein powder, sports drinks, etc.)
