 * __//Title://__** Protein Bars vs Protein Drinks

//__**Problem:**__// Do protein bars or protein drinks give you more production?


 * //__Background__//**__//**:**//__ Protein is a nutrient made up of a strand of amino acids that is essential for good health. It maintains and builds  lean muscle mass as well as strengthens the immune system. It also plays a part in the growth of the body. Being an athlete, protein plays a very important role in the body potentially making your performance improve . A big function of protein is that it can function as an energy source when the body is low on carbohydrates .Protein makes up nearly 17% of the human body. The production of protein powders used in drinks occurred about 25 years ago and is still continuously used today by multiple people all around the world. Protein is found in many things such as cheese, eggs, and most meats. Manufacturers create protein from quality sources like milk and soy as well. On the other hand, doctors and scientists say that protein has no affect on the body when taken before performing, but that it only helps after working the body. As the years progressed protein was then incorporated into bars. Question has risen about which way of consuming protein works more efficiently. Will the results be better from drinking protein or from eating it in bars, and will it give you any boost at all?


 * __//Hypothesis://__** If we consume a protein drink before we hit, then it will give us more production than a protein bar.

-Four baseball players -A place to hit -One Bat -Baseballs -Batting Cage -Tee - 3 Different brands of protein drinks and bars
 * __//Materials://__**

__//**Procedure:**//__ 1.) We will buy all of the supplies we need. 2.) Find a place to hit. 3.) Consume one serving of protein drink containing 30 grams of protein. 4.) Wait 15 minutes for protein to kick in. 5.) Set up the tee and hit. 6.) Use a spray chart to see how many we hit up the middle and how far we hit. 7.) Calculate and do percentages of where the balls were hit. 8.) Repeat with one protein bar that has the same amount of protein as the drink. 9.) Repeat with no protein bar or drink.

Go into more detail in your background. What are the positives and negatives of protein in one's diet? -Kylie Ashton

Does the protein bars/shakes take a certain amount of time to "take effect"? If so, do you know the amount of time it takes for each one to take effect? -Katelyn Thurman

Try to add more detail and more reasons why you chose this-brock and isaac T <3 Do you wait before you hit? Do you go right into the hitting you should put that somewhere.:) JUrban Try and say how much protein you are going to eat or drink.:) JUrban In the materials section you need to provide the specific amount of the material used. - Sam Schnibben
