Assess physical activity (PA) and nutrition recommendation knowledge in college students. : 71 students ( = 41 females;18 to 22 years) measured in May of 2014. METHODS: Knowledge of existence and accuracy of PA and nutrition recommendations were assessed via a verbal survey. : Most (67.6%) were aware PA recommendations exist, but only 26.8% could accurately report them. Almost all (91.5%) were aware nutrition guidelines exist, but no higher than 23.9% answered any specific recommendation correctly. There were no significant associations between sex or body mass index (BMI) and either awareness or accuracy of PA or nutrition recommendations. Non-Kinesiology majors were 3.3 times more likely to answer that they were not aware of the existence of PA recommendations, compared to Kinesiology majors. : Accurate knowledge of the PA and nutrition recommendations are very low and given that the majority of participants were categorized as overweight or obese, teaching these guidelines needs to be the priority.
评估大学生的身体活动（PA）和营养建议知识。：2014 年 5 月测量了 71 名学生（= 41 名女性；18 至 22 岁）。方法：通过口头调查评估对 PA 和营养建议的存在和准确性的了解。：大多数（67.6%）知道 PA 建议的存在，但只有 26.8%能够准确报告。几乎所有人（91.5%）都知道营养指南的存在，但没有超过 23.9%的人能正确回答任何具体的建议。性别或体重指数（BMI）与 PA 或营养建议的知晓率或准确率之间没有显著关联。与运动科学专业的学生相比，非运动科学专业的学生回答他们不知道 PA 建议的存在的可能性要高出 3.3 倍。：准确了解 PA 和营养建议的知识非常低，鉴于大多数参与者被归类为超重或肥胖，因此需要优先教授这些指南。
