A U.S. Army Special Forces (SF) unit was studied to determine characteristics of supplement users, assess nutrition knowledge, and identify nutrition information sources. SF-qualified (n = 119) and non-SF, support soldiers (n = 38) participated. Most soldiers (87%) reported current supplement use with more SF (90%) than non-SF, support soldiers (76%) using supplements (p < or = 0.05). Supplements SF reported using most were multivitamins, sports bars/drinks, and vitamin C. The mean nutrition knowledge score for all soldiers was 48.5 +/- 15.2% correct responses. Most soldiers incorrectly believe protein is used for energy for short-term athletic events (64%) and that vitamins provide energy (58%). The most common information sources reportedly used were popular magazines/books (75%), friends/teammates (55%), physicians/nurses, radio/television (34%), and the Internet (31%).
对美国陆军特种部队(SF)的一支部队进行了研究,以确定补充剂使用者的特征,评估营养知识,并确定营养信息来源。参与研究的有具备特种部队资格的士兵(n = 119)和非特种部队的保障士兵(n = 38)。大多数士兵(87%)报告目前在使用补充剂,其中使用补充剂的特种部队士兵(90%)多于非特种部队的保障士兵(76%)(p≤0.05)。特种部队士兵报告使用最多的补充剂是多种维生素、运动棒/饮料和维生素C。所有士兵的平均营养知识得分是48.5±15.2%(正确回答率)。大多数士兵错误地认为蛋白质用于短期体育赛事的能量供应(64%),以及维生素能提供能量(58%)。据报告,最常用的信息来源是流行杂志/书籍(75%)、朋友/队友(55%)、医生/护士、广播/电视(34%)和互联网(31%)。
