A survey of university student athletes was conducted to determine supplement use, perceived efficacy of supplements, availability and use of nutrition services, and perceived nutrition knowledge of athletic trainers. Results from 236 athletes showed that 88% used one or more nutritional supplements, yet perceived efficacy was moderate (2.9 or less; 5-point scale). Classes (69.4%), brochures (75%), and individual counseling (47%) were available and were used by 29.9%, 33.2%, and 17.9% of athletes, respectively. Primary sources of nutrition information were athletic trainers (39.8%), strength and conditioning coaches (23.7%), and dietitians (14.4%). Athletes perceived athletic trainers to have strong nutrition knowledge (mean=3.8+/-0.9; 5-point scale). Many (23.5%) did not know whether a dietitian was available. Dietitians must accelerate their marketing efforts to student athletes, work closely with athletic trainers to provide sound nutrition information, and provide services that meet the needs of a diverse population of student athletes.
对大学生运动员进行了一项调查，以确定补充剂的使用情况、对补充剂功效的认知、营养服务的可获得性和使用情况，以及对运动训练师营养知识的认知。236名运动员的调查结果显示，88%的人使用了一种或多种营养补充剂，但对其功效的认知一般（5分制中为2.9分及以下）。课程（69.4%）、宣传册（75%）和个人咨询（47%）都有提供，分别有29.9%、33.2%和17.9%的运动员使用。营养信息的主要来源是运动训练师（39.8%）、体能教练（23.7%）和营养师（14.4%）。运动员认为运动训练师有丰富的营养知识（平均分=3.8±0.9；5分制）。许多人（23.5%）不知道是否有营养师提供服务。营养师必须加快针对学生运动员的营销力度，与运动训练师密切合作，提供可靠的营养信息，并提供满足不同学生运动员群体需求的服务。
