Article Synopsis
- Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for cardiovascular health, brain function, and reducing inflammation, but the status of these fats in NCAA Division I athletes is not well understood.
- A study involving 1,528 athletes revealed that only 6% met the recommended intake of omega-3 fatty acids, and 15% reported using supplements; the average Omega-3 Index was 4.33%, below the 8% benchmark for low cardiovascular risk.
- Findings indicate a widespread deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids among these athletes, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and further research on their specific dietary requirements.
