“…Hardy. et al (Hardy, Kliemann, Evansen, & Brand, 2017) investigated the association between EDs consumption and overall knowledge score and found that users of EDs scored significantly lower on the section of food/nutrients sources and disease knowledge than did non EDs users. Caffeine content in EDs ranges from 50-505 mg in a can or bottle depending on the capacity.…”

OBJECTIVES: We aim to investigate the knowledge towards Energy Drinks (EDs) consumption and related factors among young male athletes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). SUBJECTS & METHODS: A cross-sectional study included 688 young male athletes from Al Ain sports club aged between 7 to 18 years. Data were collected using a modified version of a validated questionnaire from the European Food Safety Authority. RESULTS: Overall EDs consumption was 24%. About 44% of the athletes consumed EDs one to two times per month. Athletes who were training between 5-7 days per week consumed significantly more EDs compared to those who were training 3-4 days per week (81% vs. 15 %, P<0.001). Athletes aged 7-12 years were 2.4 times more likely to consume EDs than athletes aged 13-18 years (P<0.001). Moreover, athletes living with both parents were significantly less likely to consume EDs compared to those living with a single parent (P=0.01). Knowledge score about EDs consumption was significantly higher for non EDs consumers compared to EDs consumers (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: EDs consumption among young male athletes was moderate. Educational programs are needed to increase the awareness regarding EDs consumption and its potential adverse effects among the young athletes. A regulation policy for EDs consumption should be addressed and consideration of labels with EDs contents and age identification is highly recommended.

“…Further, similar to the results from other studies, students reported they consumed energy drinks to wake up, study, taste, concentrate, and pay attention in class. 29,[32][33][34] A principal components analysis yielded seven factors, which include:…”

“…34,40 Moreover, researchers found people often consume energy drinks while studying or working in an attempt to increase their performance. 29,[32][33][34] Ironically, while users identify studying as a common reason for using energy drinks, research shows a negative relationship between past month energy drink consumption and GPA. 41 The assumption that energy drinks help people to study or work is undoubtedly influenced by the aggressive marketing strategies employed by the energy drink industry.…”

Energy drink expectancies among college students

Introduction: Energy drinks are part of a growing industry that targets the college population, among others, with aggressive marketing tactics, by promoting greater focus and more energy with their product consumption (Heckman, Sherry, & Gonzalez de Mejia, 2010; Spierer, Blanding, & Santella, 2014). Energy drinks are associated with a multitude of consequences, including emergency room visits and hospitalization (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2013; SAMHSA, 2014). Additionally, they are linked with heavy drinking, poor academic outcomes, and drug use (Spierer et al., 2014; Pettit & DeBarr, 2011; Woolsey et al., 2014). The research on the consequences and behaviors associated with the mixing of alcohol and energy drinks and college students (AmEDs) is widespread; however, to date, a comprehensive literature review on the topic does not exist. Another gap in literature is the lack of information on the expectancies college students have regarding the consumption of energy drinks and how that impacts their use. Both of the aforementioned issues are the subject matter of this dissertation. Purpose: This alternative dissertation includes two separate studies. The first study was a systematic literature review, which was completed with the purpose of summarizing and identifying the gaps in literature regarding energy drinks and their use with alcohol among college students. The second study was a result of the first, where there was an evident gap in the literature, as there were no data on the energy drink expectancies of college students. Therefore, the purpose of the second study was to explore the energy drink expectancies of college students. Methods: (Study 1) The systematic literature review was completed using multiple academic search engines, including Academic Search Complete, ERIC, Medline, PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases. The article inclusion criteria were that the topical focus was on AmED consumption among United States undergraduate college students aged 18 to 25. (Study 2) An alcohol and drug use questionnaire that contained 74-items was used to assess energy drink expectancies of undergraduate college students (n=1,246), aged 18 to 25. The variance in past 30-day energy drink consumption accounted for by energy drink expectancies were determined by a multinomial logistic regression analysis. Further, to understand which expectancies predicted energy drink consumption, binary logistic regression analyses were conducted with each expectancy factor. Results: (Study 1) Of the 164 articles found in the search process, 35 met the inclusion criteria for the systematic literature review. The level of scientific rigor varied, as neither the response rates nor validity measures were included in the majority of articles. In addition, convenience samples, self-reported data, and v single site samples were common. (Study 2) With regard to the cross-sectional study, the expectancy factors were found to account for 24.3% of the variance ...

“…This has led to a growing interest in NK, in such a way that several tools have been developed and validated in the recent years [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Most of them aimed to describe the NK level of a specific population in a qualitative–quantitative way, while others aimed to evaluate whether NK could influence dietary habits and food choices [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], as well as the effectiveness of nutrition education programs [ 14 ].…”

Validation of a General and Sports Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire in Italian Early Adolescents

To the best of our knowledge, no specific questionnaires on sports nutrition knowledge (NK) have been validated so far in Italian early adolescents. The aim of the present study was to validate a short (26-item) general and sports NK questionnaire in a group of Italian early adolescents. To this aim, the questionnaire was administered to 264 subjects for analysis of internal consistency, and in a subgroup (n = 39) for evaluating the reliability over time. The questionnaire revealed good overall internal consistency and reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.684) and a highly significant correlation over time (r = 0.977, p < 0.001). Comparison with other validated questionnaires is tricky, because the previous questionnaires were validated in different populations, such as middle or late adolescents or adults, with a higher number of items compared to our questionnaire. Furthermore, data on adolescent NK in Italy are very limited. This study provides a brief, feasible, and validated questionnaire that can be used for investigating sports NK in young subjects. It could be used for evaluating the efficacy of education on general and sports nutrition in both the general population and athletes, and for investigating the relationship between NK and different sports in early adolescence.
