“…Rational and nutritional rules also provide proper nutrition, its mode, which must strictly match the structure and content of endurance training (Jeukendrup, 2011). As stated by Tutelyan et al (2010), Dundorf (2010), Kouloutbani et al (2012), Boguszewski et al (2013), a diet that meets these requirements promotes positive changes in the physical and functional abilities of athletes. Spronk et al (2015), studying the dependence of the nutritional quality of Australian elite athletes on the relationship between knowledge of rational nutrition and sports performance, argue that there is no statistically significant reliable difference between individual sports and gaming athletes' knowledge of nutritional quality progress of the results.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of high energy diets, which were elaborated by the study authors, on the change of physical fitness of athletes of various sports. 90 athletes aged 17–30 years participated in the research. They were divided into three groups of 30 each. Our research has shown that prepared high-energy diets, used during 3 months in the preparatory period, per week-long training microcycles, had a greater positive effect on changes in the fitness of elite athletes of various sports compared to changes in the fitness of lower-performance athletes.

“…Due to the lack of time, exercise-induced stress in the body, the diet of high-skilled athletes does not always meet the recommendations of a rational diet (Kouloutbani et al, 2012). Another factor hindering proper nutrition is the lack of knowledge about nutrition (Dolan et al, 2011;Baranauskas et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the mode and the eating habits of some sports athletes as well as to find out the sources of received knowledge about nutrition athletes. Material: In the evaluation of actual nutrition in 2017, 60 participants took part, including 15 volleyball players of the Burevestnik team, 15 judo wrestlers of the national team of Kazakhstan, 15 wrestlers of the club team and 15 triathletes of the national team of Kazakhstan. To study data on the regime and eating habits, a valid questionnaire was used, directly interviewing each researcher. The statistical analysis of the survey data was carried out, the percentage distribution of responses on the questionnaire was calculated. For the analysis of categorical data χ2 test (chi-square) have been applied. Results: The results of the study have shown that Kazakhstan sportsmen diet is not optimal, not enough of the studied athletes eat 4 or more times a day. 22.7% of the respondents are snacking not enough - only once per day, and 11.7% of the respondents do not snack at all. More than half of the subjects (52%) regularly eats every day at the same time, while 48% - not always eat regularly. Conclusions:The main criterion for the selection of food is taste, paying too little attention to the specificity of sport and on a special diet. Basic information about nutrition investigated Kazakh athletes receive from coaches and family members, and the share of doctors and nutritionists have to too small impact here. Public information systems are relatively ineffective.

“…Many studies have reported insufficient intake of energy and various vitamins and minerals such as Ca, Fe and B complex, particularly in rhythmic gymnasts, artistic gymnasts (AG) (Jonnalagadda, Bernadot, & Nelson, 1998), ballet dancers (Weimann, 2002), and IS (Voelker, Gould and Reel, 2014) athletes. It has been shown that especially female athletes have more aesthetic concerns than males, so that they are under the risk of "female athlete triad" which is characterized by low energy intake, menstrual irregularities and low bone mineral density (BMD) (Kouloutbani, Efstathiou and Apostolos, 2012;Michopoulou et al,). Moreover, it has also been reported that long term low energy intake may result in more fat storage in the body and might damage the athletes' body compositions and performance (Deutz, Benardot, Martin and Cody, 2000).…”

Aim: Nutritional deficiencies occur in elite athletes in aesthetic branches who suffer from intensive training programs and strict weight control. Increased disability, the weakening of the immune system, menstrual disorders and increased risk of bone fracture due to abnormal bone mineralization impair the quality of life and threaten the health of athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine body composition, nutrition and hydration status, bone mineral density levels and some physiological parameters in athletes interested in aesthetic sports. Material and Methods: The study was participated by a total of 15 healthy artistic gymnasts, ice skaters and ballet dancers aged 18 and over and 10 individuals of similar age and physical qualities as the control group. The body composition, resting metabolic rate, hydration status, bone mineral density, nutritional habit and menstruation period of the athletes were assessed and some health parameters in blood about bone metabolism, anaemia and infection were evaluated. Results: It was found that the athletes' daily energy consumption and dietary intake of vitaminmineral levels, vitamin D, Ca and Fe, are inadequate for especially female athletes. Fat ratio was higher and carbohydrate ratio was lower than the recommended daily energy distribution of athletes, 2/3 of athletes were dehydrated. The athletes did not have menstrual irregularities and eating disorder behaviours. The highest bone mineral density was in athletes, especially in gymnastics, while the lowest was in the control group. Conclusion: Although the athletes have higher values than the controls, due to insufficient energy, low carbohydrate and calcium intake and low bone density of female athletes, especially female athletes are suggested keeping under control for risk of female athlete triad.
