Study Purpose. The provision of protein is related to the intake of calorie reserves and is useful in repairing body cells. Therefore, the provision of protein for the body needs to be considered, especially for athletes. Protein intake can minimize calorie debt and immediately replace damaged cells caused by hard and overused training done by athletes. This study aims to determine the availability of protein intake in martial arts athletes in West Kalimantan Materials and Methods. The research method used was a survey with a sample of nine martial arts athletes in West Kalimantan. The instrument used in this study was a 24-hour food recall for 7 days. Data obtained through food recall were then analyzed using a food analysis application. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive statistics. Results. The results showed that 22.22% of low protein intake athletes and, 33.33% of high protein intake athletes, only 44.44% had moderate protein intake. These results prove that the protein intake of martial arts athletes in West Kalimantan is predominantly moderate. Conclusions. Fulfillment of balanced protein intake will help muscle adaptation, excess and deficiency of protein can interfere with the health and performance of athletes. Therefore, protein intake must be carefully considered, even though protein serves as a secondary energy source where the presence of protein in the body must remain and be fulfilled. © 2024, DJ Studio.
