This study demonstrated that 70.0% of the female athletes had skipped meal. Also, female athletes had a normal BMI but 65.0% of them indicated that want to be thinner. On the other hand, we analyzed that their daily nutrients intake, so we observed that 43.4% of the energy was from the fatty acids, especially saturated fatty acids, and they had lower fiber, calcium and iron intake. Also, we found that BMI, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio were negatively correlated with MBSRQ and DEBQ score and they were lower in who had meal skipped or not received diet therapy. As a conclusion, nutrition education is frequently neglected in sports programs. There is a paucity of nutrition education interventions among different sports.","PeriodicalId":145390,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Athletic Performance and Nutrition","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117129299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphological characteristic variables were obtained by analyzing the subjects’ body composition by the bioelectric impedance method (BIA). Variables for the functional abilities assessment were determined by two tests: forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV). The influence of functional abilities and morphological characteristics on the results in static and dynamic apnea was assessed by regression analysis. \u0000Results: The results show that functional abilities and morphological characteristics have a significant influence on the diving results. \u0000Conclusion: These results are important for the selection and effective training during the training period and can influence the appropriate specific training programs development. They can be used for the optimal preparation of all competitors in water sports (swimmers, water polo players, artistic swimmers and athletes practicing apnea).","PeriodicalId":145390,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Athletic Performance and Nutrition","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131230668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Acute Effects of Red Bull Energy Drink on Counter Movement Jump and Repeated Sprint Performances in Healthy Young Men","authors":"C.

One of the treatment drinks (Red Bull or placebo) was applied with one week break in a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design. The Red Bull treatment drink (RB) consisted of 250 ml of commercially available product in Turkey. The placebo drink (PLA) was a mixture of 220 ml of caffeine and taurine free soda ginger ale (Beyoglu Soda Drink Company), and 30 ml of free sugar lemonade (Uludag Drink Company). Firstly, participants performed three maximal voluntary vertical jumps, and then they performed accelerations and decelerations over 20 meter for 2 minutes. The RS test involved seven repeated straight-line 30-m sprints, separated by 30 sec of active recovery. \u0000Results: No significant differences were observed between experimental trials in terms of CMJ height (cm), total sprint time (sec), mean sprint time (sec), best sprint time (sec), and decrement of sprint performance (%) (p > 0.05). \u0000Conclusion: One box of Red Bull, produced in Turkey, was not enough to enhance RS and CMJ performances. Young Turkish athletes may consider the consumption of Red Bull to improve their performances; however, because of the amount of caffeine and taurine are much lower than ones in abroad, Red Bull might not be an effective ergogenic support. \u0000Keywords: Ergogenic, Exercise, Performance, Taurine, Caffeine, Beverages","PeriodicalId":145390,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Athletic Performance and Nutrition","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127798566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
