Futsal is a discipline with high training and nutritional requirements. Despite growing research interest in athletes' diet and nutritional status, no studies have examined Polish male futsal players. Therefore, the aim of this descriptive study was an assessment of the dietary intake and nutritional status in a selected group of futsal players. The study comprised 11 members of a top Polish futsal team (aged 26 ± 3.62 years). Dietary intake was assessed using a standardized 3-day food record. Body composition, total energy expenditure, physical fitness level, and concentrations of the biochemical indices of each participant were estimated. The energy availability in the diet was lower than recommended. Moreover, low consumption of carbohydrates was stated, as well as an inadequate intake of Vitamins E and D. Higher protein and cholesterol intake than recommended were also observed. To conclude, our results point to the need for educating athletes and coaches, particularly teaching about proper food choices, promoting quality foods, and, in some cases, using individual dietary plans to meet energy and nutrient needs. Nutrition education would help to improve their dietary and health habits and optimize their performance in sports training.
五人制足球是一项对训练和营养要求都很高的运动。尽管越来越多的研究关注运动员的饮食和营养状况，但还没有研究调查过波兰男性五人制足球运动员。因此，本研究的目的是评估一个选定的五人制足球运动员群体的饮食摄入和营养状况。研究包括 11 名波兰顶级五人制足球运动员（年龄 26±3.62 岁）。采用标准化的 3 天食物记录评估饮食摄入。评估了每位参与者的身体成分、总能量消耗、体能水平和生化指标浓度。饮食中的能量供应低于推荐水平。此外，碳水化合物的摄入量较低，维生素 E 和 D 的摄入量也不足。还观察到蛋白质和胆固醇的摄入量高于推荐量。总之，我们的研究结果表明，需要对运动员和教练进行教育，特别是要教导他们正确选择食物，促进优质食物的摄入，并在某些情况下使用个人饮食计划来满足能量和营养需求。营养教育将有助于改善他们的饮食和健康习惯，并优化他们在运动训练中的表现。
