Abstract

This paper examines the correlation between the female high school runner’s nutrition intake and their performance in the three-mile race. In recent years, the rates of athletes experiencing body dissatisfaction and eating disorders are increasing due to high pressure to keep a “fit body”, giving them a higher chance of getting injuries. Incorporating past experiments, graphs, and surveys, this study demonstrates that the runners are likely to run if their macronutrient intake reaches a certain balance, and runners with a balanced meal are capable of running longer distances with less injury than ones with an unbalanced meal. The research was done to identify the most effective and beneficial meal plan for athletes, specifically cross country runners. Its results are particularly evident in the quantitative-based graph created from survey responses, which compared the runners’ intake of macronutrients and their running time.
