Nutritional Needs

Nutritional needs for peak athletic performance include sufficient calorie intake, adequate hydration, and attention to timing of meals. Student athletes and their advisors often are misinformed or have misconceptions about sports nutrition. This paper identifies nutritional needs of young athletes, reviews common misconceptions, and examines the nutrition knowledge of athletes and their sources of nutrition information. Topics covered include energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and micronutrient needs, hydration requirements, timing of meals, and issues related to age, gender, and specific sports. Other issues addressed include “making weight” and ergogenic aids. Proper nutrition for young athletes is critical not only to their athletic success, but more importantly to their growth, development, and overall health. Nutritional recommendations should be based on the most current scientific data; we provide information about appropriate resources for the school nurse when advising student athletes and their coaches and parents.

Individualistic Culture

The authors examined the effects of individualistic media images on children’s levels of optimism toward their future basketball careers. Three hundred sixty-five participants watched highlights featuring either Black or White players performing an easy (passing) or difficult skill (slam dunking). Results indicated that participants placed a higher value on slam dunks when they watched them in a highlight tape. In addition, we found the same interaction on 3 dependent variables, such that those who viewed a same-race model performing passes felt more optimistic about playing both college and professional basketball and higher levels of positive arousal. Given Western society’s individualistic culture, the authors suggest that increased exposure to media images that promote unselfishness and teamwork would be beneficial for young athletes.

Nutrition Needs for athletes is important as a supplement to produce energy, growth, performance, and recovery processes. This article aims to explain what aspects must be considered in fulfilling nutrition for young athletes. This type of research is library research. The data collection method uses the documentation (literacy) method. Analysis of the data used in this research is an annotation bibliography analysis (annotated bibliography). Teenagers have different levels of nutritional needs for children and adults. Proper nutrition for adolescents needs to be considered. It can be concluded in fulfilling nutrition to consider aspects such as calorie requirements, macro nutritional needs (macronutrients), hydration (hydration), time (time), and supplements (supplementation).

A composite case study illustrates how a multidisciplinary approach can be used to improve athletic performance and overall life functioning. The use of heart rate/respiration biofeedback and QEEG-guided neurofeedback are built on a foundation of cognitive therapy. The elements in the article are taken from several successful cases over the course of several years. The athletes represented in this article range from 18 to 24 years old, are from a variety of sports, and are from higher levels of achievement.

Prolonged Hospital

Many health conditions result in unique nutritional requirements (e.g., protein restriction, low energy, fortification) and the need to consume foods in nontraditional formats (e.g., liquid diets, supplements, tube feeding). In Canada, 45% of hospital patients are malnourished upon admission, resulting in prolonged hospital stays, increased health care costs, and higher mortality rates. Fortunately, advances in nutrition and food science enabled the development of products that provide nutritional support for individuals in hospital and at home. In Canada, these products are defined as Foods for Special Dietary Use (FSDUs). Canada’s regulation of FSDUs (Division 24 of the Food and Drug Regulations) is particularly stringent and outdated, which results in products that do not meet current nutritional recommendations or allow application of current technologies, and lack harmonization with other countries. Many of these issues also apply to the Infant Food regulations in Canada. To provide vulnerable populations with optimal nutrition, experts have suggested modernization of Canadian FSDU regulations. A multi-stakeholder workshop established several recommendations and goals toward that end while ensuring the safety of consumers. These include (i) assessing other jurisdictions’ regulations; (ii) tracking products currently on the market; (iii) temporary marketing authorizations to permit products on the market and collect data; (iv) use of incorporation by reference for compositional requirements; (v) support for research of FSDU and nutritional needs of special population; and (vi) better understanding accessibility to these products. Overall, the proposed vision is for a modern, safe, flexible, innovative, and health-driven regulatory framework for FSDU in Canada.

The Relationship

The empirical study of the involvement of personal volition in the athletic success of young athletes aged 9 to 18 yearsis presented. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between individual characteristics of volitional processes and the grade of sport performance, determined by the sports qualifications of the respondents.The specifics and requirements ofdifferent kinds of sport have been considered. At the sample of young athletes from 9 to 18 years old (N = 145, M = 13,2 years) for some sports (athletics, rock climbing, football)significant regression models were built. Particular characteristics of volitional processes or their combination were discovered as predictors, and the athlete’s performance was a dependent variable. For other sports disciplines (boxing, rowing, swimming, rhythmic gymnastics), such models could not be identified. Moreover, we established that emotional self-control and determination have a joint effect on the grade of sport performance of athletes who was younger than 13, while for athletesfrom 14 to 18 years oldcommon predictors of performance from among volitional qualities was not found.

A three-part questionnaire was used to identify professionals in sports nutrition and survey their recommendations on various aspects of sports nutrition. The majority of respondents were women. Over half of the sample reported working in sports nutrition for 6 years or less, and 72% indicated that 40% or less of their job is dedicated to sports nutrition. A portion of the questionnaire assessed the subjects' opinions on various sports nutrition topics. Statements on water and electrolytes generated the most agreement while statements on protein generated the least agreement. There was a positive correlation (p~0.004) between level of education and whether or not the respondents recommended glycogen loading, and a positive correlation (p~0.008) between the subjects' use of dietary supplements and the fact that they recommended supplements to the athletes they counseled. The majority of professionals in this study worked with recreational athletes and were more concerned about encouraging a healthy diet than improving athletic performance.
