Do Canadian collegiate hockey players accurately perceive body composition changes after unmonitored training and diet?

Abstract: Collegiate athletes often use nutritional programs and supplements to elicit body composition changes in muscle or fat. It is unknown if athletes can accurately perceive their fluctuations in body composition, yet their understanding may help them make more accurate interpretations regarding the success of potential nutrition or exercise regimens. The purpose of this study was to investigate if collegiate hockey players could accurately perceive a change in body composition during a 3-month period within their… Show more

“…In 2016, Prokop et al's study included an assessment of male university ice hockey players body composition changes from preseason to midseason using DXA. They reported regional differences in players' fat and lean tissue changes, but globally, players lost a significant amount of body fat tissue from preseason to midseason; this outcome aligns with their similar observation from the previous year (Prokop et al, 2015) (46). Of note, total body lean tissue increased insignificantly, leg lean tissue increased nearly to significance, and there was a significant reduction in arm fat tissue from preseason to midseason.…”

“…Figure 1 summarizes the study selection process. The 23 articles included in this review spanned from 1956 to 2020, with more articles being published in the past 20 years compared with the previous 50 years, possibly signifying an increased interest in elite ice hockey research (1,6,(9)(10)(11)13,16,19,(21)(22)(23)28,29,31,41,44,46,47,50,51,55,56,58). Nine articles included solely physiologic responses, 5 included only body composition metrics, and 3 exclusively investigated histobiochemical changes.…”
