Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies examining college athletic participation's effect on nutrition knowledge and attitudes present mixed results and overlook a middling group: informal sports athletes. This study addresses variance of nutrition knowledge and attitudes by athletic participation. Four hundred fifty students completed a voluntary survey created by a dietitian and the researcher. The data was analyzed through ANOVA and post hoc tests. Results (significant at ≤0.05) show nutrition knowledge and attitude do not vary by organized sports. Formal, informal and non-athletes each exhibited average nutrition comprehension and rather positive nutrition attitudes. One-way ANOVA exhibited non-significant differences among nutrition knowledge and attitude of the three athletic groups and two-way ANOVA proved the same holds true when controlled for moderator variables. Intention was not to assess effects of moderator variables; however, significant differences were found among nutrition knowledge scores in categories of age, major, and class status: non-traditional-aged students had significantly higher knowledge scores than traditional-aged students, health-related majors had significantly higher knowledge scores than non-health-related majors, and >4 years students had significantly higher knowledge scores than sophomores. Significant differences in nutrition attitude scores were also found by class status: juniors and seniors exhibited significantly lower scores than freshmen. These results suggest nutrition education interventions are needed to increase comprehension, whether through educational programs/workshops or inclusion of nutrition courses in university requirements. The prevalence of positive nutrition attitude over all subgroups suggests nutrition interventions would be willingly accepted. Further, additional studies on informal athletics are needed to determine its effect on nutrition knowledge and attitudes.

Blidy and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research is finding that athletes are not following sports nutrition recommendations and principles for their athletic success and potential inadequacies within their diet could be related to poor nutrition knowledge. However, even with an increase in knowledge from the implementation of nutrition education interventions, athletes are still inadequately meeting their recommendations for training, which has been indicated that it could be related to their attitudes about sports nutrition and performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess sports nutrition attitudes, adequacy of diet and adherence to sports nutrition principles among NCAA Division 1 female soccer players immediately before and one week after a sports nutrition education intervention. The retrospective data included three questionnaires completed by participants: demographic questionnaire, Sports Nutrition Attitudes Assessment (SNAA), and 24-hour food recall. The current study found no significant difference in SNAA score (t=1.465, p=0.158) and adherence to sports nutrition principles (t = -0.170, p=0.867) following a nutrition educational intervention. A significant relationship was discovered between sports nutrition attitude scores and adequacy of diet (r=-.442, p [less than or equal to] 0.05) following a nutrition education intervention, suggesting that the more positive sports nutrition attitude the lower caloric intake the participants consumed. The findings of the present study suggest nutrition education for athletes needs to be continuous and meant to improve skill and behavior, not just knowledge.

Download or read book Division I Female cross country runners perception of eating behaviors and attitudes toward health written by Laura Kate Morse and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Female Athlete Triad (Triad) is a relationship between energy availability (EA), menstrual dysfunction, and bone mineral density (BMD). The Triad is a complex condition that can effect an athlete both physically and psychologically. Low energy availability is thought to be at the cornerstone of the Triad; however, the factors that may impact athletes’ eating behaviors are complex and not well understood. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of female collegiate cross country runners from Division I schools on eating behaviors and attitudes toward health. METHODS: Phenomenologic qualitative research methods were used in this study. Six NCAA Division I female collegiate cross country runners, 18 to 20, all attending the same university participated in the interviews. All interviews were conducted individually and consisted of a semi-structured format with a flexible guide of open-ended questions. Each interview was recorded, and later transcribed. Three researchers individually coded and developed themes/subthemes, and then collaborated as a team to negotiate a set of themes/subthemes. RESULTS: Three main themes and 11 sub-themes became apparent through analysis of the transcripts of the six participant interviews. The three themes were nutritional views, identity as a runner, and psychological factors. DISCUSSION: There were consistent interactions among the themes and subthemes, and each athlete’s identity as a runner clearly had an impact on her perception of health. Many of the runners expressed the need to eat a more balanced diet; however, they found restricted options within their campus cafeteria. Time constraints as well as availability of nutritional content, and the belief that the diet for a runner is different than a non-athlete, all played a role in the athletes making nutritional choices. Therefore, the ability for athletes to exercise control in what they consume may affect their possible awareness of caloric intake and allow for a larger focus on their performance. Overall, athletes tended to report not limiting their diets based on outside influences, but only limiting themselves when food was considered unhealthy and had the potential to lead to weight gain. Furthermore, the athletes expressed the need for balance between caloric intake and expenditure. The athletes also expressed uncertainty on how to attain nutritional balance, either due to an expressed lack of either reliable nutritional sources or nutritional knowledge. Individualized education and establishing trustworthiness are important areas for health care professionals to address. CONCLUSION: The Interactions that occurred between the subthemes and themes in this study demonstrated that there were multiple factors beyond nutritional knowledge influencing the athletes’ nutritional behaviors. These findings give some insight into the nutritional decisions in female runners that may impact the female athlete triad, but clearly it is a complex issue.

Book excerpt: Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease stroke diabetes and breast and colon cancer. It also helps to prevent hypertension overweight and obesity and can improve mental health quality of life and well-being. In addition to the multiple health benefits of physical activity societies that are more active can generate additional returns on investment including a reduced use of fossil fuels cleaner air and less congested safer roads. These outcomes are interconnected with achieving the shared goals political priorities and ambition of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The new WHO global action plan to promote physical activity responds to the requests by countries for updated guidance and a framework of effective and feasible policy actions to increase physical activity at all levels. It also responds to requests for global leadership and stronger regional and national coordination and the need for a whole-of-society response to achieve a paradigm shift in both supporting and valuing all people being regularly active according to ability and across the life course. The action plan was developed through a worldwide consultation process involving governments and key stakeholders across multiple sectors including health sports transport urban design civil society academia and the private sector.
