Abstract Introduction: Adequate knowledge on nutrition and dietary intake are important to enhance the athletic performance. When athletes’ nutrition requirements are not met, they are more likely to be exhausted compromising athletic performance. The main objective of this study was to measure the association of nutritional knowledge, practice, supplement use, and nutrient intake with athletic performance among Nepalese Taekwondo (TKD) players. Methodology: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among 293 Taekwondo players of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, between August 2019 and January 2020. A two-stage cluster random sampling technique was used to select respondents for this study. Face-to-face interviews were carried out using semi-structured questionnaires. Nutrition knowledge (NK), nutrition practice (NP), supplement use, nutrient intake using 24-hour dietary recall, and anthropometric measurements were taken. A handgrip dynamometer was used to assess the handgrip strength (HGS) as an indirect measure of athletic performance. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to find out the association of predictor and outcome variables. Data were analyzed using Stata/MP version 14.1.Results: Out of 293 participants, more than half (56.3% and 55.6%) had poor nutrition knowledge and nutrition practice scores, respectively. Total energy (2368 Kcal), carbohydrate (430.5 gm), protein (79.5 gm ), fat (71.2 gm), calcium (416 mg), and iron (7 mg) intake among TKD players were significantly lower than the corresponding Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for athletes. Nutritional knowledge score (r=0.117, p<0.045), height (r=0.538, p<0.001), weight (r=0.651, p<0.001), BMI (r=0.347, p<0.001), fat (r=0.075, p<0.002), and energy (r=0.127, p<0.029) intake showed significant positive correlation with handgrip strength of athletes. The athletic performance were positively associated with training hours per day (β=0.41, 95% CI: 0.09-0.91), BMI (β=0.35, 95% CI: 0.09-0.61), NK score (β=0.13, 95% CI: 0.01-0.25), and energy intake (β=0.13, 95% CI: 0.12=0.14).Conclusions: The results suggest that nutritional knowledge and nutrient intake both were poor among TKD athletes. Height, weight, BMI, nutritional knowledge, energy, and fat intake showed positive correlation with athletic performance. Future studies can build on the premise of this study to identify the robust relationship between nutritional knowledge, practice, different supplement use, and nutrient intake among athletes.

Abstract Introduction: Adequate nutrition knowledge and dietary intake are important for enhancing athletic performance. Athletes are more likely to be tired and perform poorly during sports when they do not get enough diet. To the best of our knowledge, this study is first of its kind to measure the association of nutritional knowledge, practice, supplement use, and nutrient intake with athletic performance among Nepalese Taekwondo (TKD) players.Methodology:We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among 293 Taekwondo players of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, between August 2019 and January 2020. A two-stage cluster random sampling technique was used to select the desired number of respondents for the study. Face-to-face interviews were carried out using semi-structured questionnaires. Nutrition knowledge (NK), nutrition practice (NP), supplement use, nutrient intake using 24-hour dietary recall, and anthropometric measurements were taken. A handgrip dynamometer was used to assess the handgrip strength (HGS), as an indirect measure of athletic performance. Univariate and bivariate analyses were employed to find out the association of predictor and outcome variables. Data were analyzed using STATA/MP version 14.1.Results: Out of 293 participants, more than half (56.31% and 55.63%) had poor nutrition knowledge and nutrition practice scores respectively. Total energy intake (2368 Kcal) and protein (13.28%), fat (15.85%), calcium (416 mg), and iron (7 mg) respectively were significantly lower than corresponding Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) except carbohydrates intake (71.41%). Nutritional knowledge (r = 0.117), height (r = 0.538), weight (r = 0.651), BMI (r = 0.347), fat (r = 0.075), and energy (0.127) intake showed significant positive correlation with handgrip strength of athletes. The athletic performance were positively associated with training hours per day (β = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.09–0.91), BMI (β = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.09–0.61), NK score (β = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.01–0.25), and energy intake (β = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.12 = 0.14).Conclusions: The results suggested that nutritional knowledge and nutrient intake both were poor among TKD athletes. Height, weight, BMI, nutritional knowledge, energy, and fat intake were positive correlation with athletic performance. Further well-constructed longitudinal research is warranted to identify the robust relationship between nutritional knowledge, practice, different supplement use, and nutrient intake among athletes.

Background: Individuals who have valuable knowledge on how the importance of adequate and balanced diet and this knowledge will on their behaviors which eventually considered to be more successful in sports life. The present study aims to evaluate the nutrition and nutrients imbalance related to the health knowledge among trainers’ athletes. Methods: The study sample consists of 203 voluntary trainers from the sport clubs and gyms. Modified questionnaire was used in the study and Chi-square and Pearson correlation test was used. Results: Athletes related fields were determined to have the lack of knowledge on nutrition and also nutrients deficit related to ill-health questions. It was more likely the trainers know some aspects of foods and nutrients such as role and sources of some foods, but the overall score showed 40-50% for nutritional knowledge questions. Furthermore, questions related to ill-health showed poor score (< 40%). There was no gender difference in related nutrition knowledge questions and also questions for nutrient and ill-health. However, significant differences were found between education levels in which positive correlation R= 0.2 (P<0.05) between question for nutrition knowledge, nutrient related to health outcomes and high levels of education. Conclusion: The athlete’s trainers have regular nutrition knowledge and poor health related nutrients disorders knowledge. While gender differences did not influence neither nutrition knowledge nor health related nutrients deficient questions, the education levels found to have significant impact on both nutrition knowledge and health related nutrients deficient. Furthermore, dietitians with an expertise in athletes’ nutrition are qualified professionals who should be the primary source for obtaining diet information and subsequently monitoring. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0895/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.

The present study sought to develop a scale to measure the values adoption of primary school children and explore whether emotional intelligence of primary school children is associated with values which are taught through curricular activities. First, the Value Adoption Scale (VAS) was developed in Study 1 by conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and correlation was examined in Study 2. Data were collected using the Ten Years Emotional Intelligence Scale (TYEIS) and the Value Scale consisting of eight items. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Results of data analysis indicated that there was a moderate correlation between emotional intelligence and values, but regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence had weak predictive power for values adoption. It was concluded that teaching values through curricular activities is not useful to foster emotional intelligence among primary school children. Results of the research are discussed and addressed along with the relevant literature.

This research is based on the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) which represent the drought and vegetation condition on land. Take the linear regression method and Pearson correlation analysis to study the spatial and temporal evolution of SPEI and NDVI and the drought effect on vegetation. The results show that (1) during 1961–2015, SPEI values at different time scales showed a downward trend; SPEI-12 has a mutation in 1997 and the SPEI value significantly decreased after this year. (2) During 2000–2015, the annual growing season SPEI has an obvious upward trend in time and the apparent wetting spatially. (3) In the recent 16 years, the growing season NDVI showed an upward trend and more than 80% of the total area’s vegetation increased in Xilingol. (4) Vegetation coverage in Xilingol grew better in humid years and opposite in arid years. SPEI and NDVI had a significant positive correlation; 98% of the region showed positive correlation, indicating that meteorological drought affects vegetation growth more in arid and semiarid region. (5) The effect of drought on vegetation has lag effect, and the responses of different grassland types to different scales of drought were different.

BACKGROUND: High visceral fat storage unbalance secretion inflammatory peptides, however diet plays an important role-protecting metabolism against chronic diseases inherent to this condition. OBJECTIVE: To assess obese diet quality and find association with inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS: aMED, a Food Quality Index, classified the inflammatory power of 26 obese men’s diet (aged: 48.1±5.1; BMI: 31.1±2.45). Pearson correlation coefficient associated diet quality in tertiles (1st as low, 2nd as average and 3 rd as high quality diet) with inflammatory variables (cytokines and waist circumference). RESULTS: The intake of anti-inflammatory food groups was significantly higher among tertiles (3rd >  2nd >  1st; P <  0.001). Adiponectin was lower in the 2nd tertile than in the 1st (P <  0.05). Whole cereal presented a positive correlation with TNF-alpha (p = 0.049), and a negative correlation with IL–15 (p = 0.002). Fish presented a positive correlation with IL–10 (p = 0.024), Resistin (p = 0.039) and PGE–2 (p = 0.001). These findings pointed to pro and anti-inflammatory responses. CONCLUSIONS: The method may need adjustments when used to assess obese food intake, since they don't usually meet the daily-recommended intake. Other lifestyles variables should be considered, which may affect the inflammatory status.
