Article Assessment of Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure of Male Adolescent Academy-Level Soccer Players during a Competitive Week (original) (raw)
Abstract: This study investigated the energy intake and expenditure of professional adolescent academy-level soccer players during a competitive week. Over a seven day period that included four training days, two rest days and a match day, energy intake (self-reported weighed food diary and 24-h recall) and expenditure (tri-axial accelerometry) were recorded in 10 male players from a professional English Premier League club. The mean macronutrient composition of the dietary intake was 318 ˘ 24 g¨day´1 (5.6 ˘ 0.4 g¨kg´1 BM) carbohydrate, 86 ˘ 10 g¨day´1 (1.5 ˘ 0.2 g¨kg´1 BM) protein and 70 ˘ 7 g¨day´1 (1.2 ˘ 0.1 g¨kg´1 BM) fats, representing 55% ˘ 3%, 16% ˘ 1%, and 29% ˘ 2 % of mean daily energy intake respectively. A mean daily energy deficit of ´1302 ˘ 1662 kJ (p = 0.035) was observed between energy intake (9395 ˘ 1344 kJ) and energy expenditure (10679 ˘ 1026 kJ). Match days (´2278 ˘ 2307 kJ, p = 0.012) and heavy training days (´2114 ˘ 2257 kJ, p = 0.016) elicited the greatest defi...
