Aerobic fitness level is one of the important components to maintain and improve athletes' performance. Movement Control Order (MCO) is hypothesized to affect athletes in terms of sustaining their aerobic fitness level. The purpose of this present study was to identify the aerobic fitness level among university athletes during the MCO. Fifty university athletes (age: 19 – 26 years old) from Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) had participated in this study. The athletes completed a CLINIMEX aerobic fitness questionnaire through Google Form to estimate their aerobic fitness level. As the result, the minimum and maximum values of aerobic fitness obtained from the 50 university athletes were 9 and 16 METs. The aerobic fitness level among university athletes overall was 10.89 ± 1.83 METs. The aerobic fitness level among university athletes for males was 11.01 ± 1.89 METs while for females 10.41 ± 1.56 METs. It has been identified that aerobic fitness level among university athlet.....

Physical activity has long been recognized as an important factor in enhancing health and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases. This study aimed to determine the physical activity pattern, total energy expenditure (TEE) and daily energy intake (EI) of a sample of male athletes on a training and no training days, and to compare with non-athletes. The subjects comprised 83 male athletes from various types of sports (athlete group), and 80 inactive men (non-athlete/ control group) aged 18 to 44 years. The TEE of subjects was calculated based on their daily activity. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) was calculated for all subjects based on body weight using the predictive equations of a previous locaI study. Physical activity level (PAL) was calculated as the ratio of TEE to BMR. The energy intake (EI) was obtained using a one day 24-hour diet recall. During a normal day, the mean TEE (2,272 kcal/day) and EI (2,461 kcal/day) of the athletes were not significantly different compared .....
