Analysis of female Olympic runner’s performance based on diets

Abstract

This study presents the impact of omnivorous (OMN) and vegan (VG) diets on female Olympic runners’ performance. It seeks to ascertain which diet would yield superior outcomes. Three VG runners and three OMNI runners will be evaluated as part of the study to compare their athletic abilities. This paper proposes that VG female Olympic runners will outperform those following the OMNI diet. This study will be conducted in six steps: (1) the basic insight of how each diet affects a runner’s performance, (2) analysis and calculations of VG runner’s performance development prior to the appropriate Olympic games, (3) analysis and calculations of OMNI development on each runner with equivalent years before the corresponding Olympic games, (4) comparison between the OMNI and VG runners of the 1-year development, (5) comparison between the OMNI and VG runners of the 3-year development, and (6) comparison between the OMNI and VG runners of the 6-year development. The study reveals a complex relationship between dietary choices (VG and OMN) and runners' performance, with the OMNI group showing superior results in two instances.
