Abstract
Energy balance is essential for maintaining body process, so do
perform well for athletes. In this study, 20 subjects from different sport
(archery, athletics, fencing, golf, hockey, and netball) were carried out on
individual (N=8) and team sport (N=12) group. Self-reported method was
used to determine nutritional intake. Participants were provided with
written and guidelines for the completion of the diaries. Physical activity
details were also recorded, and used in combination with BMR prediction
to calculate daily energy expenditure. Results shows energy intake was
low (1806.67 ± 410 kcallday) in relation to previous recommendation for
adolescents. Result shows that the energy availability of individual .·
between two group with deficit average of -616.0 ± 498.5 kcallday and -
915.1 ± 400.0 kcal/day in individual and team sport respectively with the
PAL in the active range (1.6-1.89). In this study we reported that both
group fall below approximately 30 kcal/day of FFM. In conclusion, both
group have low energy availability. If condition of low energy availability
occurs for a long period of time, it can cause lots of other problem, and the
most common among athletes, female athlete triad. Recommend to
increase their nutritional intakes to balance with their energy expenditure.
