This study evaluated dietary intake patterns of NCAA Division III soccer players compared to recommended levels. NCAA Division III soccer players ( = 75). Actual dietary intake was determined by the analysis of a 3-day food record. Results indicate that total energy, carbohydrate, and dietary fiber intake was significantly below the recommended levels. In addition, added sugar and total fat consumption were significantly above recommended levels. Potassium, magnesium, and vitamin D levels were consumed in levels significantly below the recommended levels. Sodium, iron, and vitamin C were consumed in significantly higher levels than the recommended target. Female athletes had significantly higher intakes of added sugar, saturated fat and vitamin C compared to male athletes. Female athletes had significantly lower intakes of calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, magnesium and vitamin D compared to male athletes. Based on the results of the present study, increased efforts should be put into development of nutrition education programs for NCAA Division III athletes.
本研究评估了与推荐水平相比,NCAA 第三分部足球运动员的饮食摄入模式。 NCAA 第三分部足球运动员(n=75)。 实际饮食摄入量通过对 3 天食物记录的分析来确定。 结果表明,总能量、碳水化合物和膳食纤维的摄入量明显低于推荐水平。此外,添加糖和总脂肪的摄入量明显高于推荐水平。钾、镁和维生素 D 的摄入量明显低于推荐水平。钠、铁和维生素 C 的摄入量明显高于推荐目标。与男运动员相比,女运动员的添加糖、饱和脂肪和维生素 C 的摄入量明显更高。与男运动员相比,女运动员的钙、钾、钠、铁、镁和维生素 D 的摄入量明显更低。 根据本研究的结果,应该更加努力为 NCAA 第三分部运动员制定营养教育计划。
