Describe why a 6 foot male athlete would need to consume more calories that a 5 foot woman that doesn’t play sport

Because the male has a higher percentage of body mass and due to him being an athlete, he would require more nutrients and proteins to be able to train as many times as he needs.

Question 2

Describe how an athlete would be restricted if they don’t consume enough calories

They would become dehydrated/fatigue quickly which would restrict their progress and would increase the risk of injury
