This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adequate nutrition is vital for the health, wellness, and performance of college athletes1,2. Previous literature suggests that college athletes have poor dietary practices3-8. A possible explanation for this is lack of nutrition knowledge. Previous knowledge surveys used have limitations that make them inappropriate for use in this population. In order to assess the nutrition knowledge of college athletes reliably, a new tool must be developed that has characteristics that promote the athletes to respond in completion, and practitioners must believe in its usefulness and practicality. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to examine the relationship between sport nutrition knowledge and dietary habits of college athletes through the development and validation of a sport nutrition knowledge assessment tool made specifically for this population. Three studies were conducted. The first was a nutrition knowledge assessment in college athletes (n=125) using a tool previously validated in the general population9. The average score was 58%, with females (average 67%) and athletes of non-revenue sports (i.e., sports other than football, basketball, or ice hockey; average 70%) scoring significantly better than males (average 46%) or athletes of revenue sports (average 46%), respectively. In general, the athletes had poor nutrition knowledge.The second study was the development and validation of the 25-question Sport Nutrition Assessment of Knowledge (SNAK) screener. First, the SNAK was developed using position stands and reviews on nutrition for sport in conjunction with feedback from experts. Next, a sample of college athletes and dietetic students (n=116 total) completed the SNAK. Results showed high knowledge scores (average 88%), which suggests that either the pilot version may have been too easy, or the athletes truly have high knowledge. A revised, 22-question SNAK was then developed based on statistical and qualitative feedback. The third study was a deeper investigation into the dietary habits of college athletes (n=94). This was done using the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24) Dietary Assessment Tool10 and analyzed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)11. Results showed an average score of 59 out of 100 possible for diet quality, which is equivalent to a grade of F based on the recommended grading scheme12. In general, the athletes displayed poor diet quality. Overall, this dissertation indicates that having high nutrition knowledge does not lead to high diet quality in college athletes. Future research should be done to investigate the barriers between knowledge and behavior, as well as the best intervention strategies to improve diet quality in this specific population.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study aimed to identify risk and protective behaviors for the development of unhealthy eating behaviors (e.g. disordered eating and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain) in college freshmen athletes. Specifically, we examined: 1) if disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain in freshmen athletes increase over a 3-month observation period, and 2) whether specific baseline characteristics serve as either risk or protective factors in the development of disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain during the observation period. In our sample of 69 student athletes who completed surveys at both time points, we found overall increases in both concern about eating behaviors and engagement in healthy eating behaviors increased over the three-month time period. Many of the hypothesized risk and protective factors studied did not emerge as significant predictors of change in eating behavior, However, we did find that athletes participating in a lean sport (i.e., a sport where having a thin body is seen as a competitive advantage) were actually less likely to develop disordered eating behaviors than their peers participating in other types of sports. Higher baseline nutritional knowledge also appeared to protect against the development of eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain. Lastly, we found that wearing a uniform that increases shape or weight concern as well as participating in our “other” (non-lean, non-aesthetic, and non-weight division) category of sports were risk factors for developing disordered eating behaviors. These findings could ultimately help identify athletes at-risk for the development of both disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain and could inform the development of targeted preventative treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

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.
