Solution
Recommended fat intake for athletes performing short-duration event is around 15 - 25%.
Explanation:
- The recommended fat intake for athletes participating in short-duration competitions is typically 15-25% of their daily caloric intake.
- This range ensures that athletes get enough fat for critical biological functions like hormone production and cell structure, while carbs and proteins are prioritized for energy and muscle repair.
- Fat is not the primary energy source for short-duration activities therefore a moderate consumption is adequate.
