Book excerpt: Introduction: Recent literature has explored eating behaviors throughout the female collegiate cross country runner population, finding that often nutritional knowledge is not optimal, and both disordered eating and the female athlete triad exist. However, the relationship between nutritional knowledge and eating behaviors is unclear. The primary purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of female collegiate cross country runners on eating behaviors and attitudes toward health. Methods: During the 2013 cross country season, 5 NAIA and 5 Division II female cross country runners, ages 18-22, participated in this qualitative research study. The relationship between eating behavior and attitudes toward health was examined through individual, semi-structured interviews. After transcription of the interviews, each student researcher independently developed themes and sub-themes and then met to negotiate findings. Results: The following four themes were identified: health behaviors, nutritional knowledge, influences, and health attitudes. This participants’ statements suggested that influences, nutritional knowledge, and attitude all affected the health behaviors of the cross country runner. Not only did they change health behaviors, but influences, nutritional knowledge, and attitude also intertwined with each other, affecting one another. Discussion: While nutritional knowledge does play a role in health behaviors of the female runner, it is not the sole contributor. Complex and interconnected relationships between eating behaviors and attitudes toward health were identified and were unique in each female collegiate cross country runner. Conclusion: The development of health behaviors of female collegiate cross country runners was exposed throughout this qualitative study. This in-depth understanding may assist in interpreting the behavioral causes of the female athlete triad and therefore the management as well as prevention of this disorder.

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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College athletes and non-athletes have different nutritional needs however neither group is given mandatory education on the subject. Research on the nutritional knowledge and behaviors of college athletes and non-athletes suggests more effective ways to educate the students are needed. The present study surveyed college female athletes and non-athletes to compare nutrition knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes. Fourty-six subjects met the criteria for the study. The mean score for the athletes on the overall survey was 180.6/260 (69.4%), The mean score for the non-athletes on the overall survey was 179.3/260 (68.9%). There was no significant difference found in the nutrition knowledge or behaviors between the athletes and non-athletes. The athletes demonstrated more knowledge in athlete-specific nutrition questions compared to general nutrition questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: The female athlete triad (triad) is a prevalent health issue composed of low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density. The triad is a complex condition that can affect an athlete physically and psychologically. Female collegiate athletes, especially those involved in sports that emphasize leanness, are more susceptible to developing one or more aspects of the triad. Low energy availability has been identified as the cornerstone of the triad, yet reasons for nutritional choices among female collegiate athletes are highly complex and poorly understood. Thus, the purpose of this study is to use prior qualitative studies and pertinent research to develop the pilot a survey for female collegiate cross-country runners to assess their perspectives/attitudes toward health and the reasons for their eating behaviors. METHODS: The survey was developed primarily using themes described in Stickler, et al. (2016) with additional input from current literature on the topic. To establish content and face validity, a sports nutritionist, two experts on the triad, and three current or former runners reviewed the survey. Minimal changes in content and wording were needed based on feedback. Women’s cross-country coaches of schools in all Divisions (I, II, III, NAIA) were contacted and given a link to forward on to their runners if they agreed to participate. Survey participation was voluntary. Descriptive statistics of quantitative results were performed. RESULTS: In the pilot study, the most common intrinsic factors that impacted the participants’ running and behaviors reported in the survey were self-motivation, confidence, and sleep. Several extrinsic factors played a role in daily meal decisions, such as practice/race that day, cost, and time to prepare meals. DISCUSSION: Face and contact validity were established by a panel of experts who reviewed the instrument and assisted with determining whether the questions satisfied the appropriate domains. Due to the complexity of factors involved in these runners’ decision making regarding their health and eating behaviors, a multidisciplinary team including a sports psychologist, physician, registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), coach, physical therapist, and athletic trainer may be indicated to develop an individualized approach to prevention and treatment of triad and /or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. This approach should include education on positive energy balance, sport-specific nutritional knowledge, strategies to integrate healthy eating behaviors into routine, and management of intrinsic factors. Healthcare professionals should collaborate with coaches to consider how athletes can apply what they learn to both their personal health choices and athletic performance. CONCLUSION: The runner’s health choices questionnaire is a valid, brief, and easily accessible tool that coaches, physical therapists, physicians, athletic trainers, and other clinicians can incorporate into their practice to assess decisions behind athletes’ dietary choices and perspectives of health behaviors as applied to sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.
