Abstract

ABSTRACT Dietary intake plays a significant role in athletic performance and is influenced by several factors, including nutrition knowledge. Gaelic footballers are amateur athletes who conduct high-intensity, intermittent activity during training and competition, and have previously demonstrated insufficient dietary intake. This study aimed to examine nutrition knowledge in elite and non-elite Gaelic footballers. An online survey was distributed to competitive Gaelic footballers, examining nutrition knowledge using the Abridged Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire. Total, general, and sport nutrition knowledge were compared between elite and non-elite athletes, and those who had and had not previously received nutrition education, using Mann-Whitney U-tests. A total of 190 participants (15.3% women) completed the survey. No differences between elite and non-elite athletes in nutrition knowledge were identified (p > 0.05). Athletes with previous nutrition education scored higher than those without previous nutrition education in total (54.0 ± 4.9% vs 46.8 ± 9.6%; p = 0.002) and sport (51.9 ± 12.5% vs 43.4 ± 11.8%; p = 0.005) nutrition knowledge. Findings suggest an importance of nutrition education at all levels of athletic competition to improve nutrition knowledge, which may empower athletes to make appropriate dietary decisions to support training and competition demands.
精英和非精英盖尔足球运动员的营养知识
膳食摄入在运动表现中起着重要作用,并受到多种因素的影响,包括营养知识。盖尔足球运动员是业余运动员,他们在训练和比赛期间进行高强度、间歇性的活动,以前曾表现出饮食摄入不足。本研究旨在考察精英和非精英盖尔足球运动员的营养知识。一项在线调查被分发给有竞争力的盖尔足球运动员,使用体育知识问卷调查营养知识。采用Mann-Whitney u型检验,比较优秀运动员和非优秀运动员、接受过和未接受过营养教育的运动员的总营养知识、一般营养知识和运动营养知识。共有190名参与者(15.3%为女性)完成了调查。优秀运动员与非优秀运动员在营养知识方面无显著差异(p < 0.05)。接受过营养教育的运动员总体得分高于未接受营养教育的运动员(54.0%±4.9% vs 46.8±9.6%);P = 0.002)和运动(51.9±12.5% vs 43.4±11.8%;P = 0.005)。研究结果表明,在各级竞技比赛中开展营养教育对提高营养知识具有重要意义,这可能使运动员能够做出适当的饮食决定,以支持训练和比赛的需要。
