Analysis and Evaluation of Nutritional Intake and Nutrition Quotient of Korean Athletes with Disabilities in the Tokyo Paralympic Games

Abstract: This study analyzed and evaluated the nutritional intake and nutrition quotient for adults (NQ-A) among 21 disabled national athletes preparing for the Tokyo Paralympic competition. A 24-h recall nutrition survey was conducted on the second day of training and one day of the weekend (holidays) to analyze daily nutritional intake. Dietary information was analyzed using the NQ-A questionnaire, which comprises 21 items. The athletes were divided into three groups based on the NQ-A score (High, Middle, Low). A com… Show more

“…An individual’s eating strategies can significantly influence their physical performance [ 64 ]. A nutritional plan for athletes should be differentiated according to their disability, sport, frequency and intensity of exercise, and occupation [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]. Correct nutrition guarantees energy needs and recovery during and after exercise [ 37 ], while insufficient nutrition can increase the risk of injury and illness and decrease performance [ 69 ].…”

“…Considering the fact that there is currently no “gold standard” for assessing dietary intake, dietary recalls, as the most common approach used in sports nutrition research [ 1 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ], were also applied in our study. The 24-h dietary recall method was used in the dietary assessment of athletes [ 28 , 30 , 36 , 37 ].…”
