In the last decade, the number of full-time registered dietitians (RDs) serving intercollegiate athletes in the United States has more than quadrupled. However, many student athletes may be at increased risk of nutrition-related problems that impact physical and academic performance, which include inadequate macronutrients, inadequate micronutrients, and excessive macronutrients. This narrative review reports the current literature to date on nutrition-related knowledge in collegiate athletes and the impact of sports RDs on student athletes' nutrition knowledge and behaviors. To date, only observational and quasi-experimental studies have been published with regard to changes in nutrition knowledge and behaviors in NCAA athletes. While these studies report benefits of the RD as a member of the interdisciplinary student athlete support team, more well-designed randomized control trials are warranted to determine benefits related to health outcomes and sport-specific performance outcomes.
在过去的十年中,为美国大学生运动员提供服务的全职注册营养师 (RD) 的数量增加了两倍多。然而,许多运动员可能面临营养相关问题的风险增加,这些问题会影响他们的身体和学业表现,包括宏量营养素摄入不足、微量营养素摄入不足和宏量营养素摄入过多。本综述报告了目前关于大学生运动员营养相关知识的文献,以及运动营养师对大学生运动员营养知识和行为的影响。迄今为止,只有关于 NCAA 运动员营养知识和行为变化的观察性和准实验研究已经发表。虽然这些研究报告了 RD 作为跨学科学生运动员支持团队成员的益处,但需要更多精心设计的随机对照试验来确定与健康结果和特定运动表现结果相关的益处。
