Description
Abstract A survey was used to examine incidence of selected health conditions (upper respiratory infections (URI), cold, flu, and mononucleosis (mono), and gastrointestinal (GI) distress) and interest in supplements and dietary methods to boost immunity and relieve GI distress among 145 college athletes (89 males, 56 females). Pearson c(2) was used to evaluate differences in frequency distribution of responses by sex. URI were experienced by 36(70 of athletes, 26(70 had GI distress, and significantly more females (70(70) than males (47171) had cold, flu, or mono that had restricted sport performance. Significantly more females were interested in supplementing with Echinacea (1817) females, 3(7c males) and vitamin E (30%, 6%) and increasing dietary intake of Vitamin C (61%, 30%) and vitamin E (39%, 18%) to boost immunity. Whereas interest in supplements for reducing GI distress were similar between sexes, significantly more females than males reported an interest in reducing dietary intake of fat (27%, 7%), citrus (14%, 4%) and tomato products 11%, 2%) for GI distress relief. Because the practices of supplementing and using dietary manipulation can alter an athlete's health status, it is important that health educators discuss with athletes supplements and dietary methods that may compromise their health status.
