Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the dietary habits and energy availability (EA) of NCAA Division III swimmers, focusing on 30 male and female athletes during pre-season training.
- Findings revealed that 43% of swimmers had low EA, which was associated with significantly lower intake of calories, carbohydrates, and proteins compared to those with higher EA.
- Additionally, most athletes did not meet USDA fruit and vegetable intake recommendations, and a screening tool used for female swimmers was ineffective in identifying half of those with low EA.
