Abstract

Background: This study aimed to describe the nutrition knowledge, food security risk and eating disorder risk of development male rugby league players.

Methods: Sixty athletes from one Australian professional rugby league club volunteered. A cross sectional online survey questionnaire consisted of three sections (Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-3), Nutrition Knowledge and Food Security). All athletes completed the online survey without assistance using a personal electronic device.

Results: The mean total knowledge score was 65.7±13.1%. There was a positive relationship between age and knowledge score, P=0.050, r2=0.06. The majority of players had breakfast everyday (N.=45, 73.8%), took pack lunches (N.=33, 55.0%), and had homemade evening meals (N.=55, 91.7%). The majority of players ate more than 1 hour before training (N.=45, 75%) and all players (n=60, 100%) ate within half an hour of training finishing. The majority of participants agreed that nutrition could influence physical and cognitive aspects of nutrition however, skill-based activities were perceived by fewer participants to be influenced by nutrition. The majority (N.=38, 63.3%) had high food security, six (10.0%) had marginal food security, whereas 10 (16.7%) and six (10.0%) had low and very low security respectively.

Conclusions: These results show a concerning levels of eating disorder risk, food insecurity and poor nutrition knowledge amongst male development rugby league players. However, it does show that they believe nutrition can impact their health and performance, and they do mostly appear to adhere to the nutrition principals for optimising health and performance.

橄榄球运动员的营养知识、身体形象和食品安全风险。
背景本研究旨在描述发展中男子橄榄球联赛运动员的营养知识、食品安全风险和饮食失调风险:来自澳大利亚一家职业橄榄球联盟俱乐部的 60 名运动员自愿参加了调查。横断面在线调查问卷包括三个部分(饮食失调量表(EDI-3)、营养知识和食品安全)。所有运动员都使用个人电子设备在没有辅助的情况下完成了在线调查:平均知识总得分为 65.7±13.1%。年龄与知识得分呈正相关,P=0.050,r2=0.06。大多数球员每天吃早餐(45 人,73.8%),吃盒饭(33 人,55.0%),晚上吃自制饭菜(55 人,91.7%)。大多数球员在训练前 1 小时以上进食(45 人,75%),所有球员(60 人,100%)都在训练结束后半小时内进食。大多数参与者都认为营养可以影响身体和认知方面的营养,但较少参与者认为技能活动会受到营养的影响。大多数人(38 人,63.3%)的食品安全水平较高,6 人(10.0%)的食品安全水平较低,分别有 10 人(16.7%)和 6 人(10.0%)的食品安全水平较低和很低:这些结果表明,男子橄榄球发展联盟球员的饮食失调风险、食物不安全和营养知识贫乏程度令人担忧。不过,这也表明他们相信营养会影响他们的健康和表现,而且他们似乎大多遵守了优化健康和表现的营养原则。
