Abstract
Athletes with a spinal cord injury scored 43 ± 17% in sports nutrition knowledge, the lowest among assessed categories.
- Eighty athletes and 26 coaches participated in the study, focusing on sports nutrition knowledge.
- Athletes scored highest in knowledge about alcohol (65 ± 19%) and lowest in sports nutrition.
- Coaches also scored highest in alcohol knowledge (73 ± 17%) but lowest in supplementation knowledge (45 ± 19%).
- Both athletes and coaches primarily relied on the internet, dietitians, and coaches for sports nutrition information.
- Future studies may investigate the impact of nutrition education on knowledge and dietary habits in these groups.
