“…Therefore, it is important for that working with athlete's to find ways to educate athletes on accurate and helpful dietary advice (Wiita, Stombaugh, & Buch, 1995). In addition, research on the effects of nutrition education reported similar findings of improving an individual's knowledge and food habits and awareness, supporting the need for and the usefulness of nutrition education in increasing nutrition knowledge, self-efficacy, and positive change in perceptions about knowledge and food habits among a student (Kunkel, Bell, & Luccia, 2001;Paschoal, & Amancio 2004).…”

Nutrition is an important component of any physical fitness program. The main dietary goal for active individuals is to obtain adequate nutrition to optimize health fitness and to increase sports performance. The purpose of this study was to compare nutritional knowledge and food habits in collegiate s and non-collegiate athletes. The target population of this study was all male and female collegiate and non-collegiate athletes in Rasht city of Iran. After translate of the standard nutrition knowledge and attitudes survey questionnaire Zawila et al., and adjust of some questions, questionnaire was evaluated by Professors of faculty of physical education and sport sciences. The reliability guided Cronbach Alpha value of .81. A researcher-built questionnaire which was developed to measure subject′s nutrition knowledge and habits, distributed to 130 collegiate and non-collegiate athletes males and 120 Collegiate and non-collegiate athletes females randomly. The questionnaire contained 15 nutrition knowledge questions and 25 nutrition habits questions. The collected data was analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient (p < .05). The correct response rate for the sport nutrition and general nutrition score were in collegiate athletes male (57.15; 52.5%) and athletes female (58.14; 54.85%); non-collegiate athlete′s males (41.55; 39.86%) and athletes female (42.11; 40.66 %) respectively. Also, mean nutrition scores in collegiate athlete′s males and females were significantly higher than non-collegiate athletes male and females. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the total mean score questionnaire between collegiate and non-collegiate athletes (p < .05). Based on the result of our study the knowledge of Iranian non-collegiate athletes were lower than collegiate athletes. For this reason, nutrition knowledge and attitudes of Iranian non-collegiate athletes need to improve. So, these suggest that nutrition lectures′ courses are one of the solutions to increase knowledge about nutrition.

“…Dakle, važno je da se prilikom rada sa sportistima pronađu načini da se oni edukuju tačnim i korisnim savjetima o ishrani (Wiita, Stombaugh i Buch, 1995). Pored toga, istraživanje o efektima edukacije u ishrani došlo je do sličnih zaključaka o poboljšanju individualnih znanja, navika i razvoju svjesti o ishrani, podržavajući potrebu korisnosti nutritivne edukacije u povećanju znanja o ishrani, samoefikasnosti i pozitivnim promjenama percepcije znanja i navika ishrane među studentima (Kunkel, Bell i Luccia, 2001;Paschoal i Amancio 2004).…”

SAŽETAKIshrana je važan dio svakog fitnes programa. Osnovni cilj dijtetike za fizički aktivne pojedince je da jedu odgovarajuću hranu kako bi poboljšali svoje zdravlje i povećali sportske vještine. Cilj ovog rada je da uporedi znanja o ishrani i prehrambene navike sportista studenati i nestudenati. Ciljana populacija ovog istraživanja bili su svi studenti nestudenti sportisti u gradu Rasht u Iranu. Nakon prevođenja upitnika Zawila i saradnika o uopštenim znanjima i stavovima o ishrani, i prilagođavanja pojedinih pitanja, upitnik je procijenjen od strane profesora Fakulteta fizičkog vapsitanja i sportskih nauka. Pouzdanost je iznosila 0,81 vrijednosti Cronbach alfe. Izrađeni istraživački upitnik, osmišljen za mjerenje znanja i navika o ishrani, podijeljen je nasumice 130 sportista i 120 spotiskinja studenata i nestudenata. Upitnik je sadržavao od 15 pitanja o znanjima i 25 pitanja o navikama iz ishrane. Prikupljeni podaci analizirali su se t-testom, jednosmjernom ANOVA i Pirsonovim testom korelacije (p < 0,05). Stepen ispravnih odgovora za sportski ishranu i opštu ishranu bio je u sportista (57,15; 52,50%) i sportiskinja (58,14; 54,85%) studenata, a kod nestudenata sportista (41,55; 39,86%) i sportistkinja (42,11; 40,66%). Takođe, aritmetičke sredine skorova ishrane kod sportista i sportiskinja studenata značajno su više nego kod sportista i sportiskinja nestudenata. Pred toga, značajne razlika je bila u ukupnom srednjem rezultatu upitnika između sportista studenata i nestudenata (p < 0,05). Na osnovu rezultata našeg istraživanja ustanovili smo da su znanja irnaskih sportista nestudenata niža od znanja sportista studenata. Shodno tome treba raditi na tome da se znanja i stavovi o ishrani irnaskih sportista nestudenata poboljšaju. Jedno od rješenja za poboljšanje znanja o ishrani su kursevi. UVODStudije o ishrani datiraju od prije 200 godina, ali sportska ishrana je ipak relativno novija disciplina koja obuhvata primjenu nutricionih principa ishrane za poboljšanje sportskih vještina. Ishrana ima uticaja na sportiste na mnogo načina. U osnovi, ona igra važnu ulogu u postizanju i održavanju zdravlja. Optimalna ishrana može da smanji zamor, omogućava sportisti da duže trenira i takmiči se i da se brže oporavlja od treninga (Lin i Lee, 2005). Ishrana igra veoma važnu ulogu u postizanju vrhunskih postignuća u sportu. Nutritivni status ima direktan uticaj na nivo fizičkog učinka. Drugim riječima, fizička kondicija i treniranost mnog zavise od nutritivnog statusa osoba koje se bave sportom (Beals i Manore, 1998). Ishrana je važan dodatak bilo kog kondicionog programa. Glavni ditetski cilj za dobijanje prave informacije od nutricionista/ dijetetičara i pojedinaca je da se postigne adekvatna ishrana za optimizaciju zdravlja i kondicije ili sportskih performansi (Ozdoğan i Ozcelik, 2011). Dobro je poznato da optimlna ishrana poboljšava sportske rezultate. Ipak, brojne barijere mogu ometati studente sportiste u postizanju optimalne dijetetske prakse, uključujući nedostatak vremena i prostora za pripremu obroka (ograničenja ...

“…This was confirmed by Wilta et al, (1995) after assessing nutrition knowledge and attitudes along with dietary behavior of high school and college athletes. They found that college athletes had more knowledge than high school athletes relative to basic and sport nutrition, and therefore made healthier food choices.…”

“…In general, college students, those involved in sport and those who are not, have a less than average understanding of basic nutrition information as well as nutrition information related to performance (Kopp & Young, 2003;Rosenbloom et al, 2002;Dunn et al, 2007;Rash et al, 2008;Wilta et al, 1995). Kopp & Young (2003) found college students at a Midwestern state university demonstrated a below average level of basic nutrition knowledge during a Fitness for Living course.…”
