“…The study by Barr (1986) incorporated a penalty for incorrect responses (scores ranging from -100 to 100), and another instrument (Perron & Endres, 1985) used a scoring system based on the degree of response certainty, awarding points if an incorrect response was linked with a high degree of certainty. That instrument, by Perron and Endres based on the questionnaire by Werblow et al (1978), was also referenced by Wiita & Stombaugh (1996), but it was not clear whether points were awarded for incorrect responses in each of the studies that used this instrument. Eight of the 22 articles reported on gender differences in nutrition knowledge.…”

“…Common misconceptions of athletes in a number of studies included protein acting as a primary energy source for muscle contraction (Condon et al, 2007;Jonnalagadda et al, 2001;Rosenbloom et al, 2002;Wiita et al, 1995;Wiita & Stombaugh, 1996;Zawila et al, 2003) and vitamin and mineral supplements delivering energy (Harrison et al, 1991;Jonnalagadda et al, 2001;Rash et al, 2008;Rosenbloom et al, 2002;Zawila et al, 2003). Protein supplements and vitamin and mineral supplements were often reported by athletes as being necessary to achieve peak performance (Harrison et al, 1991;Jonnalagadda et al, 2001;Rash et al, 2008;Rosenbloom et al, 2002;Wiita et al, 1995;Wiita & Stombaugh, 1996;Zawila et al, 2003).…”

Context: Nutrition education aims to enhance knowledge and improve dietary intake in athletes. Understanding athletes' nutrition knowledge and its influence on dietary intake will inform nutrition-education programs in this population. Purpose: To systematically review the level of nutrition knowledge in athletes, benchmark this against nonathlete comparison groups, and determine the impact of nutrition knowledge on dietary intake. Methods: An extensive literature search from the earliest record to March 2010 using the terms nutrition knowledge or diet knowledge and athlete or sport was conducted. Included studies recruited able or physically disabled, male or female, competitive (recreational or elite) athletes over the age of 13 yr. Quantitative assessment of knowledge and, if available, diet intake was required. Because of variability in the assessment of nutrition knowledge and dietary intake, meta-analysis was not conducted. Results: Twenty-nine studies (17 published before 2000) measuring nutrition knowledge (7 including a nonathlete comparison group) met inclusion criteria. Athletes' knowledge was equal to or better than that of nonathletes but lower than comparison groups including nutrition students. When found statistically significant, knowledge was greater in females than males. A weak (r < .44), positive association between knowledge and dietary intake was reported in 5 of 9 studies assessing this. Common flaws in articles included inadequate statistical reporting, instrument validation, and benchmarking. Conclusion: The nutrition knowledge of athletes and its impact on their dietary intake is equivocal. There is a need for high-quality, contemporary research using validated tools to measure nutrition knowledge and its impact on dietary intake.

“…Other studies of college-age athletes have examined food practices and nutrient intake (Werblow et al, 1978;Douglas & Douglas, 1984;Hickson et al, 1987;Tilgner & Schiller, 1989;Fogelholm & LahtiKoski, 1991;Wiita & Stombaugh, 1996;Parks & Read, 1997), nutrition knowledge (Douglas & Douglas, 1984;Updegrove & Achterberg, 1991;Wiita & Stombaugh, 1996;Reading et al, 1999), body weight/body composition concerns (Enns et al, 1987;Chapman, 1997), and nutrition education needs (Collison et al, 1996).…”

“…In fact, other literature shows that disordered eating patterns can be present among those with relatively high levels of nutrition knowledge. 15,16 Several limitations to this study need to be acknowledged. The most important limitation of this study is that convenience sampling from a single university was utilized.…”

“…[12][13][14] In other instances, however, disordered eating patterns can be present among individuals with relatively high levels of nutrition knowledge. 15,16 As a result, population-specific studies need to be conducted to examine how nutrition knowledge relates to weight control practices and their related side effects.…”

Objectives: Altering body weight can have substantial effects on an athlete's performance and well-being. Limited information is available describing the weight control practices of Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes. Methods: Weight control practices data from 188 (138 male and 50 female; 18-23 y) Division I NCAA athletes were analyzed as a part of this cross-sectional, retrospective study. Participants completed questionnaires on weight control practices and weight control nutrition knowledge at the end of their season and were classified into weight-sensitive and less weight-sensitive sports. Results: A higher proportion of females attempted to lose weight than males among less weight-sensitive sports (61% vs. 22%, chi-square = 15.8, p < 0.001). However, the prevalence of weight loss attempts was not different between females and males among weight-sensitive sports (50% vs. 60%, chi-square = 0.5, p = 0.479). The prevalence of weight gain attempts differed by gender for less weight-sensitive sports (65% vs. 4% for males and females, chi-square = 33.5, p < 0.001) but not weight-sensitive sports (24% vs. 9% for males and females, chi-square = 2.1, p = 0.146). Weight control knowledge did not differ between participants attempting versus not attempting to lose weight (Mann-Whitney U W I L S O N E T A L . IN T H E P H Y S I C I A N A N D S P O R T S M E D I C I N E 44 ( 2 0 1 6 ) 2= 3340, z = -1.37, p = 0.17). Common maladaptive behaviors used to lose weight included skipping meals and exercising more than usual. Conclusion: Weight loss attempts are common among Division I NCAA athletes, and the differences between males and females may be more pronounced among less weight-sensitive sports. Weight gain attempts are more common in select male sports.
