Broader Implications of Nutrition Education on High School Success Markers

Abstract

The pre-game scores of POMS 2 Ò-Y negative items in the baton twirling players were significantly higher than those in hand ball players. On the other hand, the post-game scores showed no significant differences between the two groups. Correlations were found between the scores in most of the negative items of POMS 2 Ò-Y and AEBS total score. Conclusions and Implications: We suggested that aesthetic athletes had more negative mood states related to disordered eating than non-aesthetic athletes before games. Nutrition education should be conducted with an emphasis on these psychologically characteristics in aesthetic athletes.
