The non-professional sport environment is a grey zone not as widely assessed as that of elite athletes. The purpose of this research was to investigate the dietary supplementation habits and the nutrition knowledge on sport (NKS) in a sample of gym users. The level of adequacy of NKS was set at ≥60% of correct answers. Almost half (46.4%) of respondents stated they used food supplements, in particular multivitamins (31.0%), amino acid pills (29.5%), minerals (29.1%), and protein powders (28.7%). Supplements were used to increase muscle mass (36.9%) and to repair muscle (35.1%). Gym trainers were the preferred source of information on the use of supplements, especially in males (84%). The NKS correct response rate was 57.1% and the proportion of respondents with a sufficient level of NKS was 47.3%. The prevalence of correct answers was highest in males (61.5%) and for respondents with the highest educational attainment levels (44.5% and 53%). This study demonstrated that non-professional sportsmen do not have sufficient knowledge of nutrition and that the gym environment does not facilitate the circulation of the correct information on the role of supplementation. Considering the importance of nutrition for sportsmen, it is necessary to put in place actions aimed at increasing the knowledge of nutrition of gym users and their trainers.
非专业运动员的运动环境是一个灰色地带,其受关注程度不如精英运动员那么高。本研究旨在调查健身房使用者样本中的饮食补充习惯和运动营养知识(NKS)。NKS 的充足水平设定为答对≥60%的题目。近一半(46.4%)的受访者表示他们使用了食品补充剂,特别是多种维生素(31.0%)、氨基酸丸(29.5%)、矿物质(29.1%)和蛋白粉(28.7%)。补充剂用于增加肌肉质量(36.9%)和修复肌肉(35.1%)。健身房教练是补充剂使用信息的首选来源,尤其是在男性中(84%)。NKS 的正确回答率为 57.1%,具有足够 NKS 水平的受访者比例为 47.3%。正确答案的比例在男性中最高(61.5%),在受教育程度最高的受访者中最高(44.5%和 53%)。这项研究表明,非专业运动员的营养知识不足,健身房环境也不利于补充剂作用的正确信息的传播。考虑到营养对运动员的重要性,有必要采取措施提高健身房使用者和他们的教练的营养知识。
