Football is the epitome of an anaerobic sport, requiring a high level of strength and speed of short duration but high frequency. The length of plays almost never exceed 15 seconds, followed by a rest period between each play. When the ball is in play, players are giving maximal muscular effort to move, or stop the movement of, the ball. Football players also carry the extra burden of heavy equipment. This type of activity requires a high level of carbohydrates to properly fuel the muscles.
Football players may burn 700-1000 calories a day during their workouts alone. During the season, they can burn anywhere from 500-800 calories during practice.Eating enough carbohydrates is critical.
55-60% of caloric intake = carbohydrates
15% protein
30% fat
(2/3 carbohydrates, 1/3 protein)
