“…Crafting suitable nutrition education strategies using online resources and mobile applications can effectively bolster both nutritional knowledge and practices among athletes ( 47 ). Research indicates that mobile applications are especially proficient in augmenting nutrition knowledge ( 48 ). By integrating mobile applications, there exists substantial potential to elevate nutritional understanding ( 49 ) consequently fostering healthier dietary habits and advancing nutritional knowledge even further ( 50 ).…”

This cross-sectional study aims to explore the relationships between food habits, perceived barriers to healthy eating, and sports nutrition knowledge among adolescent swimmers. The study focuses on understanding how these factors interact and influence dietary choices in young athletes. A cohort of 52 adolescent swimmers aged 12–18 from Al Hussein Youth Club in Al-Hussein Sport City participated in the study. Data were collected through surveys assessing food habits, perceived barriers to healthy eating, and sports nutrition knowledge. Pearson Correlation analysis was employed to examine associations between variables, and stepwise regression analysis was used to identify predictors of food habits. The analysis revealed a significant positive association between food habits and sports nutrition knowledge (r = 0.393, p = 0.004). Knowledge emerged as a significant positive predictor of food habits (β = 0.393, p = 0.004), highlighting the influential role of sports nutrition knowledge in shaping the dietary choices of adolescent swimmers. However, the introduction of Barriers lacked significance, and individual predictors did not reach statistical significance. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing nutritional education among adolescent swimmers. Understanding the interplay between knowledge, barriers, and food habits provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics that influence the dietary choices of young athletes. Addressing these factors through tailored educational programs can promote healthier eating habits and optimize performance among adolescent swimmers. This study highlights the critical role of sports nutrition knowledge in shaping the dietary behaviors of adolescent swimmers. By addressing knowledge gaps and overcoming perceived barriers, targeted interventions can help improve food habits and enhance the overall health and performance of young athletes.

Nutrition serves as the cornerstone of an athlete’s life, exerting a profound impact on their performance and overall well-being. To unlock their full potential, athletes must adhere to a well-balanced diet tailored to their specific nutritional needs. This approach not only enables them to achieve optimal performance levels but also facilitates efficient recovery and reduces the risk of injuries. In addition to maintaining a balanced diet, many athletes also embrace the use of nutritional supplements to complement their dietary intake and support their training goals. These supplements cover a wide range of options, addressing nutrient deficiencies, enhancing recovery, promoting muscle synthesis, boosting energy levels, and optimizing performance in their respective sports or activities. The primary objective of this narrative review is to comprehensively explore the diverse nutritional requirements that athletes face to optimize their performance, recovery, and overall well-being. Through a thorough literature search across databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, we aim to provide evidence-based recommendations and shed light on the optimal daily intakes of carbohydrates, protein, fats, micronutrients, hydration strategies, ergogenic aids, nutritional supplements, and nutrient timing. Furthermore, our aim is to dispel common misconceptions regarding sports nutrition, providing athletes with accurate information and empowering them in their nutritional choices.

“…Technology has become increasingly important in education [15], [16], and through its incorporation, students are evolving within a data-driven, digitalized learning environment [17], It offers a learning environment that fosters genuine learning experiences, creates a conducive setting for achieving desired learning goals [18], and promotes a more positive approach to knowledge discovery and review while emphasizing the pivotal role of students [19]. Its application within the context of PE is not as well-documented or understood.…”

This paper explores how the integration of educational technology (EdTech) has been incorporated into the field of physical education (PE) and explores the difficulties encountered by Physical Education teachers (PETs) in successfully implementing technology. Through a systematic secondary literature review spanning the past decade, this paper identifies several key challenges, including unpreparedness, a trial-and-error approach, a shift in teaching priorities, and variations in teacher effectiveness. These challenges underscore the pressing need for readiness, adaptability, and preparation in the face of unforeseen disruptions, particularly in the context of online instruction. This study presents substantial recommendations to address these issues, emphasizing the pivotal role of technology-infused teacher education programs and advocating for Physical Education teachers’ education (PETE) faculty to embrace technology leadership. By implementing these recommendations, PETE programs can better equip preservice teachers and faculty members to harness technology for more effective learning experiences. Consequently, this endeavor aims to elevate the quality of PE in our increasingly digitalized era.
