“…Moreover, undesirable eating habits or poor lifestyle, such as staying up late at night, were associated with the degree of fatigue. Recently, it is reported that fatigue is largely affected by physical fitness level but very little by exercise habits in healthy Japanese adolescents aged 15 -20 years [18]. We have recently reported the fatigue status in 1225 Japanese adolescents aged between 11 and 16 yrs by the questionnaire used in the present study, but the method of data collection was "self-reported" [19].…”

The aim of the study was to clarify the characteristics of fatigue status in Chinese adolescents. 1018 adolescents (490 males, 528 females) aged 12 or 15 years in Jixi city were enrolled. Between May and September 2009, fatigue status was investigated using a questionnaire devised by ourselves, which consisted of 4 physical and 4 mental fatigue items. These questions were scored from 0 to 3 based on the frequency of an item occurring, given as the average of the past one month, and the fatigue scores were calculated. Lifestyle issues such as daily sleep duration, feeling of refreshment in the morning after wake-up, extracurricular sports activity, and breakfast intake, and a physical examination such as height, weight, and waist circumference were also investigated. Physical and mental fatigue scores were significantly higher in subjects aged 15 yrs old than in those aged 12 years old in both genders. These scores in females were significantly higher than those in males at the age of 15 years. Multivariate regression analysis showed that total (physical plus mental) fatigue scores were associated with female gender and various lifestyles such as unrefreshed wake-up feeling, poor extracurricular sports activity, and more frequent skipping of breakfast. However, body mass index and waist circumference were not associated with total fatigue scores.

Background: Good skills in soccer are very needed to accomplish the achievement. Nutritional status in soccer athletes can effect the performance on the match. Besides exercises, nutrition intake is considered to have an effect on the nutritional status and skills of soccer athletes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of food intake on nutritional status and skills of soccer athletes. Methods: An experimental study with one group pre and post test designed on soccer athletes in PPLP Central Java on June 2012. Food intake were given in 55%-60% carbohydrates, 15%-20% protein, 20%-30% fat. Anthropometry, physical fitness, skill (passing and dribbling), and nutrition intake were measured pre- and post- intervention. The data obtained were analyzed by paired t-test and Pearson correlation. Results: Eighteen subjects completed this study. Significant increase in energy intake (p= 0,000), carbohydrate (p= 0,000), protein (p= 0,000), fat (p= 0,000), BMI (p= 0,000), percent body fat (p= 0,031), physical fitness (p= 0,038), and passing (p= 0,000), but no significant differences found on dribbling (p= 0,056) after a given intervention. There was no effect of energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat on nutritional status and skills of soccer athletes (p> 0.05). Conclusion: There was no effect of energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat on nutritional status and skills of soccer athletes.

“…It is conceivable that people with chronic poor lifestyle and exercise habits may more likely complain of fatigue. However, it has been also reported that no clear relationship exists between lifestyle and exercise habits and symptoms of fatigue [7][8][9][10].…”

Fatigue is a complicated, multifactorial disorder that is poorly understood. Till date, many studies conducted have crosssectionally analyzed the problem, but this fails to recognize the temporal nature of chronic fatigue that lasts over six months. This study aimed to examine the lifestyle characteristics of adolescents with chronic fatigue symptoms. In total, 462 healthy male students aged 15-19 years were enrolled to participate in a physical fitness test and surveys on subjective fatigue symptoms and lifestyle. They were assessed twice with a 1-year interval. Significant associations existed between both years in all parameters: for the low fatigue group (V = 0.45-0.66), except for regularity of bedtime and seasoning and for the high fatigue group (V = 0.45-0.73), except for regularity of the time of awakening, bedtime, and nutritional balance. Marked differences existed between the groups in the regularity of the time of awakening, nutritional balance, and seasoning (difference of V ≥ 0.2). All parameters tended to show inadequate lifestyle after a year in the high subjective fatigue symptom group. When compared with adolescents with low levels of fatigue, the lifestyles of adolescents with chronic fatigue changed more markedly and toward a more unhealthy or inadequate lifestyle.
