1952 Olympic games, Helsinki, Finland (Jokl, 1964)
Average intake for all athletes (Jokl, 1964);
4,503 kcal, 40% CHO, 20% PTN, 40% FAT
1st study to correlate level of performance to E intake + Main conclusion?
a.
1952 Olympic games, Helsinki, Finland (Jokl, 1964)
b.
athletes with lower kcal intake = poor athletic results
