“…These ndings were in line with previous ndings where the correlation between nutrition knowledge and practice score of athletes were found statistically signi cant [17,33]. Lack of knowledge about nutrition in sport is considered as one of the potential barriers to optimal nutrition practices among athletes [16].…”

“…The RED-S could be exacerbated by poor nutrition knowledge and attitudes towards eating behavior ultimately diminishing the athletic performance [14]. Previous studies have shown that the athletes who have adequate nutrition knowledge are more likely to meet optimum nutrition requirements [15][16][17]. The adequate nutritional knowledge of TKD athletes is crucial for their ability to cope with the stressful situations they may experience physically, physiologically, and mentally, particularly during training and competitions [18].…”

Introduction: Adequate knowledge on nutrition and dietary intake are important to enhance the athletic performance. When athletes’ nutrition requirements are not met, they are more likely to be exhausted compromising athletic performance. The main objective of this study was to measure the association of nutritional knowledge, practice, supplement use, and nutrient intake with athletic performance among Nepalese Taekwondo (TKD) players. Methodology: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among 293 Taekwondo players of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, between August 2019 and January 2020. A two-stage cluster random sampling technique was used to select respondents for this study. Face-to-face interviews were carried out using semi-structured questionnaires. Nutrition knowledge (NK), nutrition practice (NP), supplement use, nutrient intake using 24-hour dietary recall, and anthropometric measurements were taken. A handgrip dynamometer was used to assess the handgrip strength (HGS) as an indirect measure of athletic performance. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to find out the association of predictor and outcome variables. Data were analyzed using Stata/MP version 14.1.Results: Out of 293 participants, more than half (56.3% and 55.6%) had poor nutrition knowledge and nutrition practice scores, respectively. Total energy (2368 Kcal), carbohydrate (430.5 gm), protein (79.5 gm ), fat (71.2 gm), calcium (416 mg), and iron (7 mg) intake among TKD players were significantly lower than the corresponding Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for athletes. Nutritional knowledge score (r=0.117, p<0.045), height (r=0.538, p<0.001), weight (r=0.651, p<0.001), BMI (r=0.347, p<0.001), fat (r=0.075, p<0.002), and energy (r=0.127, p<0.029) intake showed significant positive correlation with handgrip strength of athletes. The athletic performance were positively associated with training hours per day (β=0.41, 95% CI: 0.09-0.91), BMI (β=0.35, 95% CI: 0.09-0.61), NK score (β=0.13, 95% CI: 0.01-0.25), and energy intake (β=0.13, 95% CI: 0.12=0.14).Conclusions: The results suggest that nutritional knowledge and nutrient intake both were poor among TKD athletes. Height, weight, BMI, nutritional knowledge, energy, and fat intake showed positive correlation with athletic performance. Future studies can build on the premise of this study to identify the robust relationship between nutritional knowledge, practice, different supplement use, and nutrient intake among athletes.

“…In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted assessing the level of nutrition knowledge in a wide range of athletes [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. While some studies suggest that athletes may have sufficient nutrition knowledge [ 19 , 20 , 21 ], others suggest that the nutrition knowledge is inadequate [ 18 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], particularly in collegiate athletes [ 16 , 18 , 23 ]. In this population, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I (DI) athletes have been the primary subjects of interest, with little attention being paid to Division IIII (DIII) athletes that constitute the largest proportion of participating NCAA institutions (approximately 40% of total athletes).…”

Nutrition knowledge is a critical component of meeting sport nutrition guidelines. The present study aimed to evaluate the sport nutrition knowledge of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III (DIII) athletes using a validated questionnaire, and to assess the dietary practices and sources of nutrition information in this population. A total of 331 student-athletes (n = 149 males, n = 181 females, n = 1 no sex indicated) completed the questionnaire. The mean score for total sport nutrition knowledge was 6.49 ± 8.9 (range −49 to 49) with a mean percent (%) correct score of 36.9 ± 19.1%. Athletes who had a previous college-level nutrition course (n = 62) had significantly higher (p < 0.05) total sport nutrition, carbohydrate, and hydration knowledge compared to those who did not (n = 268). Individual sport athletes (n = 90) scored significantly higher (p < 0.05) on hydration and micronutrients knowledge than team sport athletes (n = 237), while females scored higher than males for hydration knowledge (p < 0.05). The majority of athletes reported sensible dietary habits, such as not frequently skipping meals and eating carbohydrate and protein foods peri-workout. Athletes also reported their primary sources of nutrition information, the top three sources being social media, coaches, and athletic trainers, despite most frequently rating registered dietitians/nutritionists as “extremely knowledgeable”. Despite low sport nutrition knowledge, NCAA DIII collegiate athletes practiced seemingly prudent dietary habits but lacked exposure to high-quality sources of nutrition information.

Sporcuların hem bireysel hem de takım oyunlarında daha iyi mücadele etmek ve performanslarını artırmak için yeterli sporcu beslenme bilgi düzeyine sahip olmaları önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; özel bir üniversitede Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulunda (BESYO) öğrenim gören ve farklı branşlarda aktif spor yapan öğrencilerin sporcu beslenme bilgi düzeylerini yaptıkları spor branşına (takım ya da bireysel) göre değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırmaya basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 140 (117 erkek, 23 kadın) gönüllü üniversite öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin sporcu beslenmesi bilgi düzeylerini belirlemek için Sporcu Beslenme Bilgisi Ölçeği (SBBÖ) kullanılmış ve uğraştıkları branşa göre (takım veya bireysel) beslenme bilgi puanları belirlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 24.00 Programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Takım sporu ve bireysel spor yapan öğrencilerin SBBÖ puanları sırasıyla ortalama 23,17±6,79 ve 26,51±7,05 puan olup; her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun (%88,6) Özgün Araştırma Makalesi (Original Research Article) Geliş /
