Because in the future I hope to become muscular and shredded, I figured that I am going to have to inevitably study this material, so why not study it as part of my research project. Thus creating a topic question: “If I wanted to gain muscle mass what would be the most efficient way of achieving this?”

After evaluating the data, I recommended that the students should less time doing sedentary activities, and more time doing physical activities.

An athlete needs to ensure that they consume enough fuel to complete activities undertaken. The amount of energy required depends on many factors including size and weight of the athlete, level and intensity of the training, and due to this the amount of energy required varies from person to person. However if more energy is consumed than required, the excess is stored as fat and weight will increase, on the other hand if insufficient energy is consumed the body calls upon its stores to meet the demand and weight will be lost.
