Energy balance

The mean daily energy intake (EI) during the training camp was 1.3 times higher than the predicted total daily energy expenditure, resulting in an energy surplus of approximately 500 kcal·d-1.

Athletes may need to monitor their energy intake to avoid excessive surplus during training.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The mean daily EI was 1.3× higher than the predicted total daily energy expenditure, irrespective of the training day category, resulting in ~500 kcal·d-1 energy surplus.
