“…These components help to shape an individual's 'personal food system' which is used to make a final food decision [6]. The food choice process has been used to explain the eating behaviours of older adults, families and a small number of athletes [7,8,25,26]. Other approaches provide different perspectives to understanding why people select foods and include factors such as the environment, social influences, personal beliefs and skills [10,23,24].…”

“…In addition to these factors, individual knowledge about food and nutrition as well as personal and/or family beliefs are also known to influence food choice [10,11]. Amongst athletes, involvement in sport and the recognized importance of food and nutrition on sports performance is also likely to play an important role [7,8,12,13]. Furthermore, it is probable athletes are influenced by coaches, the behaviours and practices of other athletes and the culture within sport [8,14].…”

A Review of Factors Influencing Athletes’ Food Choices

2015

Athletes make food choices on a daily basis that can affect both health and performance. A well planned nutrition strategy that includes the careful timing and selection of appropriate foods and fluids helps to maximize training adaptations and, thus, should be an integral part of the athlete's training programme. Factors that motivate food selection include taste, convenience, nutrition knowledge and beliefs. Food choice is also influenced by physiological, social, psychological and economic factors and varies both within and between individuals and populations. This review highlights the multidimensional nature of food choice and the depth of previous research investigating eating behaviours. Despite numerous studies with general populations, little exploration has been carried out with athletes, yet the energy demands of sport typically require individuals to make more frequent and/or appropriate food choices. While factors that are important to general populations also apply to athletes, it seems likely, given the competitive demands of sport, that performance would be an important factor influencing food choice. It is unclear if athletes place the same degree of importance on these factors or how food choice is influenced by involvement in sport. There is a clear need for further research exploring the food choice motives of athletes, preferably in conjunction with research investigating dietary intake to establish if intent translates into practice.

“…Value negotiations may provide boundaries that exclude some choices (like price ceilings for a particular food) and pose decision dilemmas like tradeoffs between taste and health, cost and convenience, or health and interpersonal relationships. Additionally, values are not only balanced in specific decisions, but are also balanced over other personally defined time periods, such as across meals, work days versus days off, and school year versus summer [20,81].…”

“…To investigate aspects that affect food choices is to look beyond the relationship between nutrition knowledge and dietary practices 5 ; it involves investigating the factors that influence food choices, such as: food availability, social and cultural environment, beliefs, habits, body image perception, among others 6 . Understanding what governs these food choices allows the professional team to provide support and alternatives to motivate the adoption and maintenance of an adequate diet for athletic performance and health 5 .…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of an Interdisciplinary Food, Nutrition and Health Education Program on nutrition knowledge, intention to change eating behavior, and body dissatisfaction of adolescent volleyball players. MethodsThe sample consisted of 10 female volleyball players from the juvenile category of the city of Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, who participated in a program with eight monthly meetings (one discussion group followed by six educational activities and one final discussion group for evaluation). ResultsNutrition knowledge, body perception, intention to change eating behavior, eating attitudes and practices were investigated using questionnaires and discussion groups before and after the athletes' participation in ludic activities designed to address nutrition strategies for athletic performance and healthy eating, and how to deal with pressure for results and self-image. Nutrition knowledge improved from 57.0%±9.9 to 63.0%±11.8 (p=0.03) of correct answers. The mean body distortion score did not change (70.0±14.9 versus 76.5±22.4,
