Abstract in brief

  • The study found that elite Kenyan runners had an average energy intake lower than their energy expenditure and body mass, with their diet being high in carbohydrates and low in fats, and protein intake matching recommended levels.
  • Their fluid intake was modest, mostly consisting of water and tea, and did not fully meet typical guidelines.
  • It is unclear whether adjusting their energy intake and fluid consumption could improve their athletic performance, indicating a need for further research.]

@adaykin @uoft_tiss There was a study of Kenyan runners 20 years ago (https://t.co/8HwP6Ln7lG) that estimated 1.3 g/kg. They were also in significant caloric deficit during the study, which suggests either the estimates were off or it wasn't a sustainable pattern.

Food and macronutrient intake of elite kenyan distance runners https://t.co/ODQYsqaOVO 2004年のこの論文においては、ケニア人は一日のカロリー摂取の76.5%, 0.4 g/kgの糖質摂取を行っているとされます。ただ、これだと摂取よりも明らかに消費が多いのでおかしいと指摘されました。
