The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of dietary supplements usage (types, reasons for usage, sources of information, purchase venues) among elite female football players, using a self-administered questionnaire. The study participants (n = 103) were recruited through team physicians during an official international tournament. Overall, 82% reported using dietary supplements at least once during the last 12 months. The most common dietary supplements were vitamin D (52%), omega-3 fatty acids (49%), and protein (45%). Primary reasons for dietary supplement use were to stay healthy (66%), to accelerate recovery (58%), and to increase energy/reduce fatigue (54%). Supplement advice came mainly from medical doctors (46%), dietitians/nutritionists (43%), and coaches/fitness coaches (41%). Most dietary supplements were acquired from supplement stores (30%), a sponsor (26%), or drugstores/pharmacies (22%). Elite female football players are frequent dietary supplement users. Further research needs to explore the frequency, dose, and timing of these supplements.
本研究旨在通过自填式问卷，调查精英女子足球运动员的膳食补充剂使用情况（种类、使用原因、信息来源、购买场所）。研究参与者（n=103）通过队医在一次正式的国际比赛中招募。总体而言，82%的人报告在过去 12 个月中至少使用过一次膳食补充剂。最常见的膳食补充剂是维生素 D（52%）、欧米伽 3 脂肪酸（49%）和蛋白质（45%）。使用膳食补充剂的主要原因是保持健康（66%）、加速恢复（58%）和增加能量/减少疲劳（54%）。补充剂建议主要来自医生（46%）、营养师/营养学家（43%）和教练/健身教练（41%）。大多数膳食补充剂是从补充剂商店（30%）、赞助商（26%）或药店/药房（22%）购买的。精英女子足球运动员是经常使用膳食补充剂的人群。需要进一步的研究来探索这些补充剂的使用频率、剂量和时间。
