Nutritional intake of elite Japanese track-and-field athletes

Article Abstract:

Mean daily intakes of energy and nutrients have been surveyed from 3-day food records for 62 elite Japanese track-and-field athletes, 28 male. For the males the mean energy intake was at 3,141 kcal and for females 2,508 kcal. The long-distance and middle-distance runners had significantly higher energy and macronutrient intakes than sprinters, throwers and jumpers had. Of Jumpers, sprinters and throwers, 54% of the males and 65% of the females took in less than the Japanese Recommended Dietary Allowances (JRDAs) for at least on micronutrient.
