Abstract
This study investigated the sports nutrition knowledge and breakfast consumption habits and beliefs in adults who regularly exercise. Participants (N = 404) identifying as athletes (n = 47), former athletes (n = 65), and nonathletes (n = 292) completed a survey. Sports nutrition knowledge was inadequate (52% correct); former athletes scored better than nonathletes (62% vs 49%). The Internet was the primary source of information (35%); 4% of participants consulted registered dietitians. Approximately 40% of participants do not eat before exercise and those who do consume fruit/fruit juice or meal replacement bars. This study indicates a need for more accessible and reliable nutrition information for exercisers.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
