As people age they lose muscle mass and strength. The problem is a matter of use it or lose it. A hard fact to which any active senior can attest. An imbalance in the natural cycle of protein turn-over may be a contributing factor to decreased muscle mass.
But the answer is not so simple. Aging is associated with changes in hormones, activity levels, nutrition, and disease. The body uses amino acids to build muscle protein, which then breaks down and must be replaced. When protein turnover gets out of balance, so that more protein breaks down than the body can replace, the result is muscle loss. This is not just the bane of aging, however.

Protein Sports Drinks Proven To Provide Best Performance When Combined With Carbohydrates...
Sports drinks containing protein are better at improving athletes' performance. New research published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition has shown that drinks containing a mix of carbohydrate and protein are superior to carbohydrate-only drinks in improving cyclists' recovery from exercise.
Researchers from Gettysburg College and The University of Western Ontario studied which energy drink best helped cyclists recover after a strenuous ride. Carbohydrate and protein supplement drinks given early during a six hour post-exercise recovery period helped athletes better maintain subsequent time trial performance and power output, compared to supplements with carbohydrate alone.
In the test, cyclists rode exercise bikes that were attached to monitors allowing them to compete against a virtual opponent. After a morning session, they rested for six hours drinking either the protein-containing sports drink or the carbohydrate only version. Both formulas had the same total energy content. After their six-hour rest, the athletes did another virtual cycle race. Although both groups showed a reduction in performance in the afternoon session due to fatigue. However, the reduction in distance traveled and power output during the afternoon exercise was significantly less among those who had the protein and carbs drink, relative those who just had the carbs.
The subjects' self-reported fatigue levels were lower in the protein group and increases in fat oxidation were also observed. Researchers concluded... "These findings may be especially important considering that most endurance athletes concern themselves primarily with carbohydrate intake and often fail to recognize the potential benefits of protein with respect to performance recovery".
