Individuals participating in team sports need to be mindful about their total
calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient intake. Provide a summary of the
factors you should consider as you determine the calorie and
macronutrient requirements for the various members of the University of
Central Florida (UCF) track and field team, from Orlando, Florida. Your
summary should include a brief explanation of why each factor should be
considered. Recall that track and field events can include running (sprint,
middle distance, long distance, relays), jumping (long, high, triple, pole),
throwing (discus, shot put, javelin, hammer), and combinations such as
decathlon or heptathlon. (16 pts)
