Sports nutrition professionals aim to influence knowledge, dietary intake and body composition improve athletic performance. Understanding the interrelationships between these factors how they vary across sports has potential facilitate better-informed targeted practice. This observational study assessed (DXA), (multiple-pass 24-hr recall) knowledge (two previously validated tools) of elite subelite male players involved in two team-based sports; Australian football (AF) soccer.

Appropriate dietary intake can have a significant influence on athletic performance. There is growing consensus sports nutrition and professionals working with athletes often provide education. However, due to the limitations of existing knowledge questionnaires, previous reports athletes' may be inaccurate.An updated questionnaire has been developed based recent review guidelines. The tool validated using robust methodology that incorporates relevant techniques from classical test theory...
Background Sports Dietitians aim to assist in improving performance by developing nutrition knowledge (NK), enhancing dietary intake and optimising body composition of athletes. In a high-pressure environment, it is important identify factors that may compromise an athlete's status. Body assessments are regularly undertaken sport provide feedback on training adaptions; however, no research has explored the impact these professional athletes.Methods This cross-sectional study assessed (7-day...
(1) Background: Excess weight in the form of adiposity plays a key role pathogenesis cardiometabolic diseases. Lifestyle modifications that incorporate continuous energy restriction (CER) are effective at inducing loss and reductions adiposity; however, prescribing daily CER results poor long-term adherence. Over past decade, intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as promising alternative to may promote increased compliance and/or improvements health parameters independent loss. (2) Methods:...

Abstract Aim To evaluate the information sources that are used and preferred by Australian athletes to assess if preferences influence nutrition knowledge (NK). Methods Elite non‐elite team sport athletes, playing football (AF), cricket, lawn bowls, soccer or hockey, were recruited via sporting organisations' qualified sports dietitians club presidents. Athletes completed one of two online, validated NK questionnaires. Frequency analysis on previous advice, type support assessed. Differences...

Abstract Through an exploration of the origins dietetics in West, and specifically Australia, we problematise lack diversity within profession through lens intersectionality. Dietetics Australia continues to be dominated by Australian‐born women, ideologies about dietitians perpetuate narratives white, young, slim, women. Intersectional approaches critiquing provides a useful framework extend critical studies health disparities into professional workforce, which is advanced structural,...
Appropriate and adequate nutrition is essential for the health performance of tactical athletes, including army recruits trainees. However, previous research shows they commonly experience suboptimal intakes energy carbohydrate. To date, little has been conducted to understand causes their poor dietary intakes. The objectives this study were (1) assess infantry trainees' (2) explore beliefs, barriers, self-efficacy toward using Health Belief Model (HBM). Participants undergoing 17-week...
Throughout a three-year undergraduate nutrition degree, students learn the theoretical knowledge and technical skill set required to become nutritionist. However, curriculum does not always include an opportunity practice application of skills in real-world setting or develop understanding transferable workplace, thus, general employability information on workplace expectations are developed (1) . A mixed methods research study was undertaken understand student perspectives employer skills....
