Knowledge is an important aspect for every person; especially it is very important for physical education teachers, coaches, and athletes. Although the knowledge about nutrition, massage, and physiotherapeutic exercises was investigated in Burundi Country. This study was a descriptive lookup with blended methods. The participants of this lookup were 15 physical education teachers, coaches, and athletes taken by representative sampling. Data evaluation techniques used correlation and linear regression among indicators-variables, and between variables themselves with Software PLS-SEM and SPSS.21. The effects confirmed that there was a low correlation (r: 0.45) between the items-global knowledge, and the negative correlation (r =-0.068) was found between prices of Gigabyte (GB) and source of learning confirmed that the more the price of gigabyte was expensive, the more the source of information about the learning was not sufficient. The correlation between nutrition and its indicators was not strong, consecutively presented (base: 0.339; components: o.355; knowledge: 0.402). The relation between learning (X1), nutrition (Y1) {Rx1y1: o.421}, and Knowledge (Y3) {Ry1y3} was not strong; the subjects have little knowledge about nutrition. The consecutively correlation of indicators (basics: 0.366; massage course: 0.378; knowledge: 0.441), on massage and physiotherapeutic exercises showed that subjects held little knowledge about the previous courses. Knowledge became strong management tools that help physical education, sport medicine, coaching training managers to decide how to improve peak of performance, to maintain the good quality of athletes and non-athletes: This learn about was the first to apply to evaluate career to the knowledge of physical education teachers, coaches, and athletes.

While there are various avenues for performance improvement in college American football (AF), there is no comprehensive evaluation of the collective array of resources around performance, physical conditioning, and injury and training/game characteristics to guide future research and inform practitioners. Accordingly, the aim of the present review was to provide a current examination of these areas in college AF. Recent studies show that there is a wide range of body compositions and strength characteristics between players, which appear to be influenced by playing position, level of play, training history/programming, and time of season. Collectively, game demands may require a combination of upper- and lower-body strength and power production, rapid acceleration (positive and negative), change of direction, high running speed, high-intensity and repetitive collisions, and muscle-strength endurance. These may be affected by the timing of and between-plays and/or coaching style. AF players appear to possess limited nutrition and hydration practices, which may be disadvantageous to performance. AF injuries appear due to a multitude of factors-strength, movement quality, and previous injury-while there is also potential for extrinsic factors such as playing surface type, travel, time of season, playing position, and training load. Future proof-of-concept studies are required to determine the quantification of game demands with regard to game style, type of opposition, and key performance indicators. Moreover, more research is required to understand the efficacy of recovery and nutrition interventions. Finally, the assessment of the relationship between external/internal-load constructs and injury risk is warranted.

“…In the recent years, sports NK has also been investigated through specific questionnaires [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Sports nutrition can be defined as the application of NK to a nutritional plan focused on meeting the nutritional requirements for physical activity, optimizing the refueling process after physical exercise, and improving athletic performance in training and competitions, as well as promoting general health and well-being [ 21 ].…”

“…Regarding tools focused on sports NK, questionnaires have been validated in different populations, including both athletes and coaches [ 15 , 25 ]. Recently, some new sports NK questionnaires for adult athletes have been developed, targeting track and field [ 16 ], ultra-endurance running [ 15 , 20 ], or other sports [ 17 , 18 , 34 ]. Most of the questionnaires were validated in adults [ 16 , 17 , 34 ], and just a few in adolescents [ 15 , 35 ].…”

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.
