Evidence suggests that Gaelic football (GF) players do not meet the recommended energy intake (EI) levels and therefore may be at risk of low energy availability (LEA). This study examined energy availability (EA) in 20 elite male GF players. At two stages during a season (2019-2020), repeated measures of EI, exercise energy expenditure (EEE), EA and body composition were performed. Sixty-five percent reported with LEA [<30 kcal.kg Lean Body Mass (LBM).day] at pre-season (PRE), with 70% at in-season (IN). Mean daily carbohydrate intake (PRE 3.2 ± 0.82 g.kg; IN 3.4 ± 0.79 g.kg) was below the recommended intake (5-7 g.kg) in 95% at PRE and 100% at IN. All consumed the recommended daily amount of protein (PRE 1.85 ± 0.57 g.kg; IN 1.87 ± 0.48 g.kg) and fat (PRE 1.23 ± 0.4 g.kg; IN 1.02 ± 0.3 g.kg). Significant correlations ( = 0.001) were reported between EA and carbohydrates (PRE = 0.801; IN = 0.714); protein (PRE = 0.675; IN = 0.769); fat (PRE = 0.805; IN = 0.733) and energy intake (PRE = 0.960; IN = 0.949). Twenty percent were at risk of disordered eating. This study suggests male elite GF players require education and interventions surrounding nutrition, in particular EA.
有证据表明，盖尔式足球（GF）运动员未达到推荐的能量摄入量（EI）水平，因此可能面临低能量可利用性（LEA）风险。本研究调查了20名精英男性GF运动员的能量可利用性（EA）。在一个赛季（2019 - 2020年）的两个阶段，对EI、运动能量消耗（EEE）、EA和身体成分进行了重复测量。65%的运动员在季前赛（PRE）时存在LEA[<30千卡·千克去脂体重（LBM）·天]，赛季中（IN）时这一比例为70%。平均每日碳水化合物摄入量（PRE 3.2±0.82克·千克；IN 3.4±0.79克·千克）在PRE时95%、IN时100%低于推荐摄入量（5 - 7克·千克）。所有人都摄入了推荐的每日蛋白质摄入量（PRE 1.85±0.57克·千克；IN 1.87±0.48克·千克）和脂肪摄入量（PRE 1.23±0.4克·千克；IN 1.02±0.3克·千克）。EA与碳水化合物（PRE = 0.801；IN = 0.714）、蛋白质（PRE = 0.675；IN = 0.769）、脂肪（PRE = 0.805；IN = 0.733）和能量摄入（PRE = 0.960；IN = 0.949）之间存在显著相关性（= 0.001）。20%的运动员存在饮食失调风险。本研究表明，男性精英GF运动员需要围绕营养，特别是EA方面的教育和干预。
