Dietary changes in NCAA Division II and III female lacrosse players after two different methods of nutrition education

"Abstract: The current study was designed to examine two different methods of nutrition education and their effect on dietary intake. The Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (Collison, Kuczmarski, & Vickery, 1996) was administered to 49 NCAA female Division II and III lacrosse players, the results were used to determine the relationship between actual nutrition knowledge and perceived nutrition knowledge. In addition, 11 athletes received either one-on-one nutrition education or group nutrition education. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine if difference in dietary intake existed from prenutrition education to postnutrition education for NCAA Division II and III female lacrosse players (N = 11) participating in preseason practice from colleges in Western Massachusetts. No significant differences (p > .05) existed in the change in dietary intake of athletes receiving one-.on-one nutrition education and athletes receiving group nutrition education. No significant relationship (p > .05) existed between actual nutrition knowledge and perceived nutrition knowledge. No significant differences (p > .05) existed between pre and posteducation dietary intakes for the athletes when examined as a group."
