Abstract

The aim of the current study is to examine the effect of nutrition education on the eating behaviors, eating awareness and sports nutrition knowledge of adolescent football players. The sports nutrition education module and the educational model to be used were developed by the researchers based on examples from sports nutrition books. The athlete questionnaire included sections on demographic information and eating habits. In addition, the eating awareness scale, the adolescent eating behavior perception scale and the athlete nutrition knowledge level test were administered to the athletes before and after the training. Twenty-five male soccer players aged 15-17 were included in the study. The six-week athlete nutrition training was delivered face-to-face by the researchers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
