This book was released on 2005 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time of rapid increase in growth. It is important that physically active adolescents consume enough energy and nutrients to meet their needs in terms of growth, tissue maintenance, and performance in their activities. However, due to the busy life style of most families, children, including athletic children, may be receiving far from an optimal nutritional diet. This aim of this study was to evaluate whether a nutrition education program was effective in aiding female adolescent athletes to make proper food and drink choices. The subjects in this study were twelve girls from the Octorara Area High School Girls' basketball team. Their age range was 13-18 years old and the majority of the subjects were Caucasian. The girls completed a 24-hour food recall questionnaire and a general nutrition knowledge test. The initial 24-hour food recall showed that the team's average diet did not meet the recommended amount of carbohydrates. The pretest also showed that the athletes were not sure of what carbohydrates were. The nutrition education program was designed from the results of the initial food recall and the pretest. After the nutrition intervention, the subjects completed another 24-hour recall and a post-test. The results showed that the team as an average slightly increased their consumption of the carbohydrates within their meal composition. The percentage of girls consuming the recommended amount of carbohydrates for the adolescent athlete increased from 8% to 42% after the intervention. The post-test showed that there was an increase in nutrition knowledge. One threat to the validity of this study was the small sample size. Therefore it was difficult to determine whether improved nutrition knowledge impacted the athletes' food choices. Further studies need to be performed to find the best way to reach the female athletes. Parental involvement should be vital in any further nutrition education programs provided to adolescents.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a sports nutrition intervention on nutrition knowledge and dietary choices among adolescent female soccer players and their parents. Participants from this study were year-round, travelling soccer team members recruited from the Augusta Arsenal Soccer Club in addition to one parent of the minor (n=38). Adolescent athlete participants in the study completed a demographic survey including information on their age, school grade, position typically played, years in sport, whether or not they participated in any other sports, and if they had ever taken a nutrition class. In addition, a parent demographic survey was administered to obtain parents age, highest level of education, nutrition background, whether or not they previously played sports and who typically prepared meals at home. All participants completed a twenty-three item sports nutrition questionnaire (Zinn et al., 2005). The adolescent athlete participants also completed a three-day food record on two separate occasions. In a randomized design, participants were placed in the intervention group (n=18) or control group (n=20). Participants in the intervention group (n=18) attended nutrition education sessions for four weeks, lasting 20-30 minutes in duration. The following sports nutrition topics were discussed: carbohydrates, protein needs, vitamins/minerals, hydration, and recovery. After the intervention period, all participants were asked to submit a second set of three-day food records 2 and complete the twenty-three item sports nutrition questionnaire once more. Results of the adolescent athlete's sports nutrition knowledge questionnaire indicated that there was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in general nutrition knowledge (P=0.008) with the intervention group scoring significantly higher compared to the control group (11.11 ± 23.64; 4.70 ± 27.89). For general nutrition knowledge, a significant interaction was seen between the intervention and the control groups pre to post intervention period (P

It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence--developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adolescent population is vulnerable due to increased nutrient demands related to physical growth and development and other factors affecting eating habits. Within this population there are many that choose to participate in a sport involving practices and competitive events, which further increases nutrient demands. Proper nutrition is important to all adolescents, but the role of nutrition is elevated in importance for those adolescent athletes needing to fuel their bodies adequately for performance. There is limited information in the literature regarding nutrition education and adolescent athletes. This non-experimental pilot study was designed to increase awareness among adolescent swimmers regarding the relationship between proper nutrition and sports performance and influence food choices in an effort to enhance performance. A pre test and posttest questionnaire format was to be utilized to measure an increase in nutrition knowledge and change in behavior among adolescent swimmers after a one-hour nutrition intervention. Subjects were to be obtained from a convenience sample of swimmers from the Phoenixville Area Swim team, between the ages of eleven and eighteen who regularly participated in practices and competitive events. There were no results to report due to a lack of participation in the intended research study. Limitations to the study include a delay in distribution of the informed consent statements to potential participants, a limited population, a lack of marketing and a lack of a needs assessment with the population. Future research is needed regarding the effectiveness of nutrition education programs with an adolescent population, particularly those involving adolescent athletes. Implications for future research indicate it would benefit researchers to utilize the health belief model in developing a needs assessment when working with an adolescent population and involving parents and coaches in the intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents have unique nutritional needs when compared to young children and adults. As youth go through physical, cognitive, and behavioral development, nutrition needs are dynamic and changing. If these needs go undetected and remain unaddressed, the results can derail physical and social maturation and include life-long effects on health. This comprehensive text offers a multidisciplinary perspective on aspects of adolescent nutrition. Using clinical cases, it covers relevant topics related to adolescent health including normal development, chronic health conditions, and complex biopsychosocial dynamics, among others. The first section of the text contains an overview of adolescent nutrition that is further broken down into more specific topics such as developmental nutrition needs, needs of active youth and athletes and media influences on body image. The next section focuses on health disparities such as culturally appropriate care, health equity, international considerations and food insecurity. The following section specifically addresses eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulimia to binge eating. Finally, the last section covers additional health considerations such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, teen pregnancy, substance use and gender non-conforming youth. Written by experts in the field, this book is a helpful resource for primary care medical providers, registered dietitians/nutritionists (RDN), adolescent medicine specialists, as well as advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, psychologists, licensed social workers, and certified athletic trainers. /div

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.
