## 4 Discussion  
Athletes' normal routines reveal their training habits, and have an immediate impact on their ability to perform at their peak. In a similar manner, an athlete's body composition is proportional to his or her degree of fitness, training intensity, practice volume, and total daily practice hours [23]. In line with this, the current research supports the hypothesis that the degree of physical activity that athletes engage in has a direct influence on the amount of energy that is expended as a result of their physical activity level. The training sessions consisted of a variety of activities, such as aerobics, anaerobic, speed work, strength, endurance, agility, and recovery. The activity or training load was defined by [PERSON] et al. [24] as the total of training sessions per week, the total time per session, and the intensity of each session. The athletes in this research trained for their respective sports for a minimum of 90 min (high intensity), and a maximum of 180 min (moderate intensity) [25]. The WHO has similarly suggested that athletes exercise moderately for at least 60 min each day [26]. The physical activity level of the athletes was estimated utilizing their daily activity pattern, categorized as practice, study, leisure, and sleep hours. Time spent evenly on these four pursuits aided in pattern analysis, and in recuperation after exertion. The female elite athletes spent 24.09% of a day practicing their sport, while the male elite athletes spent 20.13% of a day practicing their sport. This compares to 15.27% and 12.70% for the female and male non-elite athletes, respectively. [PERSON] et al. [27] found different results based on national athletes, indicating that female athletes trained for 30 min fewer per week than male athletes. Across the board, the athletes spent roughly 33.19% of their day sleeping (7 h and 58 min) [28,29]. These athletes' daily routines provided a good indicator of the daily physical demands placed on their bodies. The WHO separates people into four distinct lifestyle groups: inactive, moderately active, highly active, and very active. A healthy athlete's average PAL plays a significant part in establishing his or her total energy needs. According to the results of the current research, athletes with high PAL values also have high TEE, demonstrating a strong association (r = 0.806, \(\alpha\) = 0.01) between the two. This method is often used in everyday activities because of the predictability of energy usage, and the lack of a need for an in-depth examination. Athletes' PALs are estimated by their energy needs [5]; however, there are currently no standardized PAL criteria for making such estimates. Our research revealed that the PAL in the female athletes was 2.33 \(\pm\) 0.42, placing them into the strongly active lifestyle category, and within the PAL value range (2.0-2.4) recommended by WHO [15]. In accordance with this, [PERSON] et al. [5] observed comparable results. The lifestyles of the female elite athletes were deemed to be particularly active. In contrast, the PAL values for the non-elite female athletes varied from 1.65 to 2.68, including those with moderate (24.52%), vigorous (28.13%), and highly active lifestyles (30.77%). Similar to the female athletes, the male athletes' lives were classed as strongly active within the range specified by WHO [25], with the top male athletes having vigorous to very active lifestyles, with the PAL values ranging from 2.04 to 2.87. These variations in the athletes' lifestyles might be examined in connection with their particular training load. For instance, it will take longer for an athlete with a low training load who increases the training load by 10% each week to attain maximal capacity, but an athlete with a high training load may be able to tolerate only modest increases in the physical load because a high training load can sometimes cause over-exertion in the muscles.
