简要总结
This study investigates the impact of a structured, short-term parental nutrition education program on the body composition, athletic performance, and dietary habits of young basketball players aged 8-13 years. Adolescence represents a critical window for physical growth and athletic development, yet many young athletes fail to meet nutritional recommendations. Given that parents are the primary food providers and decision-makers for children in this age group, their nutritional literacy is hypothesized to directly influence the athlete's diet and physical development.
The intervention consists of a 4-week nutrition education program provided to parents. The study utilizes a single-group pre-post design to evaluate changes in the athletes' Lean Body Mass (LBM), body fat percentage, athletic performance (encompassing vertical jump, sprint speed, and flexibility), and daily macronutrient intake (protein and carbohydrate) from baseline to post-intervention.
详细描述
Study Design: This study employs a single-group, pre-post quasi-experimental design to evaluate the efficacy of a parental nutrition education program. The study population consists of young basketball players aged 8-13 years recruited from the Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University youth basketball team.
Intervention: The primary intervention is a structured "Parental Nutrition Education Program." The education is delivered to the parents/legal guardians of the athletes, as they are the primary food providers. The intervention consists of:
A comprehensive 90-minute online seminar (via Zoom) conducted by a registered dietitian. Topics include macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), micronutrients (calcium, iron, vitamins), hydration strategies, meal timing (pre- and post-training nutrition), and healthy food choices .
Distribution of printed educational brochures and guides to reinforce the seminar content.
Q&A sessions to address specific nutritional concerns. The intervention period lasts for 4 weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Parental Nutrition Education Group
Participants in this arm are young basketball players whose parents received a structured 4-week nutrition education program. The intervention included weekly 45-minute face-to-face seminars and printed educational materials covering macronutrients, hydration, and meal timing.
干预措施: Parental Nutrition Education Program (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Lean Body Mass
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 4).
Body composition was assessed using a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) device (Tanita MC-780) under standardized fasting conditions. The outcome measures the change in lean body mass (kg) from baseline to the end of the intervention
次要结局
- Change in Athletic Performance Parameters(Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 4).)
- Change in Athletic Performance Parameters-2(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 4))
- Change in Athletic Performance Parameters-3(Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 4))
- Change in Daily Dietary Intake-1(Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 4).)
- Change in Daily Dietary Intake-2(Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 4).)
- Change in Daily Dietary Intake-3(Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 4).)
