Energy balance
Mean total daily energy expenditure (TEE) for female soccer players was 2693 ± 432 kcal·d-1 over 12 days.
Practitioners should consider these energy expenditure values when planning nutrition for female soccer players.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Mean TEE did not differ (P = 0.31) between the 12-d (2693 ± 432 kcal·d-1; range, 2105-3507 kcal·d-1; 54 ± 6 kcal·kg-1 fat-free mass [FFM]) versus the 4-d assessment period (2753 ± 359 kcal·d-1; range, 1942-3280 kcal·d-1; 56 ± 8 kcal·kg-1 FFM).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving professional players over a significant period.
