This study was undertaken to determine the effect of
protein and wheat germ oil supplements upon selected measures
of junior high school boys. The measures selected were for
weight, arm strength, speed and endurance, and urinalyses for
urea nitrogen. Thirty-six ninth grade athletes at Memorial
Junior High School in Alice, Texas, were used as subjects.
The subjects were placed in three groups of twelve each with
one group receiving the supplements and the other two groups
serving as control groups.
The investigation was conducted over a fifteen tfeek
period with a pre—test and post-test of the physical measures
and the urinalyses taken once each week. Supplements of pro-
tein and wheat germ oil were given every morning of school for
twelve weeks. Hie first two weeks were devoted to testing and
urinalysis,and the last week was devoted to re-testing.
Tests were selected and used to collect data on the
physical measures. The weight scores were taken from the
1 .efttion Index _I. For measuring arm strength the
Pull-up Test was used. Speed was measured by a sixty-
yard dash, and endurance was measured bj' a one-minute squat
thrust test.
