FIGURE 4.

Mean energy intake, TDEE, and energy balance during the regular and championship seasons in NCAA Division I cross country student-athletes. Energy intake (A), TDEE (B), and energy balance (C) were averaged across the regular (9 wk, 4 d of diet records) and championship seasons (5 wk, 5 d of diet records). TDEE was subtracted from energy intake to calculate energy balance. Two-way repeated measures ANOVAs assessed differences in energy intake, TDEE, and energy balance by sex, time, and the sex∗time interaction. Data are means ± SDs. ANOVA, analysis of variance; NCAA, National Collegiate Athletic Association; TDEE, total daily energy expenditure.
