b'CASE STUDY74-YEAR-OLD FEMALE RACE WALKERIn this case study, we review the dietary strategies used to support a 74-year-old female race walker, who after a body composition assessment offered at her local gym, is seeking advice to help regain muscle mass. Six years prior, the athlete received the same bioelectrical impedance analysis. Comparison of results show the athlete gained 3.0 kg of body fat, while losing a total of 1.1 kg / 5.5% of skeletal muscle mass. The athlete also remarked on a decrease in training intensity in the past 6 months. With her next event in 2 months (10 km race), the athlete is seeking to review her performance nutrition strategy and prevent further muscle loss. 68 years74 years (+ 6 years)165 cm 165 cm65.7 kg 67.6 kg (+1.9 kg)32.3% / 21.2 kg body fat 35.4% / 24.2 kg (+3.1% / +3.0 kg)19.9 kg SMM 18.8 kg (- 1.1 kg)22'
