Nutrition Assessment and Intervention Improves Body Composition and Diet in NCAA Female Volleyball Players
Intercollegiate volleyball is a powerful sport that consists of two to three hour matches; therefore, optimal physical condition is critical for top performance. This study assessed nutrition and anthropometric parameters at the start and conclusion of both the spring 2009 (no intervention) and spring 2010 (intervention) off seasons as well as additional measurements four months after the intervention. The subject' body composition, total energy, carbohydrate and protein needs were calculated and intakes were assessed. The intervention consisted of monthly individual nutrition counseling sessions based on analysis of intake from three day food records. Food records were analyzed using Nutrient Data System for Research software verified by interview. Dependent T tests were conducted on anthropometric and dietary measurements. The results revealed that during the 2009 off season, there were no significant changes in any parameters and 89% of subjects were not within recommended anthropometric and dietary guidelines. During 2010, body composition significantly decreased to optimal levels for the sport. In addition, energy and macronutrient intake significantly improved toward recommended guidelines. Four months later, the subjects' intakes and body composition were assessed again and results were compared to the spring 2010 results with no significant changes. These results indicate that providing nutrition assessment and intervention plays a critical role in physical conditioning of athletes.

Sports Nutrition Knowledge of Volleyball Players
ABSTRACT The study of nutrition and its effects on athletic performance has increased in recent years and its importance to exercise and sport performance is well documented. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the sports nutrition knowledge of volleyball players. There were 77 participants (13 male, 64 female) who were currently playing collegiate indoor or sitting Paralympic volleyball. Sports nutrition knowledge was assessed using the Sports Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (SNKQ) by Zinn, Schofield, and Wall (2005) The mean SNQ raw score was 40.22 8.39 out of a possible score of 88.00. The mean percentile score was 46 9% No athlete scored above the 70% established passing score. A univariate ANOVA was calculated evaluating nutritional knowledge based on school/level of competition, prior nutrition course taken, grade point average (GPA) and gender. Significance was established at p 0.05. Findings indicated no significant differences in SNKQ scores for any of the independent variables. Results clearly indicate collegiate athletes need further support, training, and education related to sport nutrition knowledge.

Characteristics of Energy Metabolism and Nutrition Supply for Beach Volleyball
In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of energy metabolism, determination of physics status, and nutrition supply from the perspectives of biochemistry and nutrition science for beach volleyball sports based on literature review. These analyses will provide guidance for training, teaching and physical exercise for beach volleyball sports.

Impact of an Interdisciplinary Food, Nutrition and Health Education Program for adolescent Brazilian volleyball players
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de um Programa Interdisciplinar de Educacao Alimentar, Nutricional e em Saude sobre o conhecimento nutricional, a intencao de mudanca de comportamento alimentar e a insatisfacao corporal de jogadoras de voleibol adolescentes. Metodos: A amostra foi composta por 10 atletas de voleibol, jogadoras da categoria juvenil da cidade de Santos, SP, que participaram do programa composto por oito encontros mensais (um grupo de discussao seguido por seis atividades educacionais e um grupo de discussao final para avaliacao) Resultados: Conhecimento nutricional, percepcao corporal, intencao de mudanca de comportamento alimentar, atitudes e praticas alimentares foram investigadas por questionarios e grupo de discussao antes e depois da participacao das atletas nas atividades ludicas, as quais abordaram estrategias nutricionais para desempenho esportivo, alimentacao saudavel, lidar com pressao por resultados e percepcao corporal. O conhecimento nutricional aumentou de 57,0% 9,9 para 63,0% 11,8 (p=0,03) de acerto. Nao houve diferenca no escore de distorcao corporal (70,0+ 14,9 versus 76,5+ 22,4, p=0,235) Seis atletas avancaram na intencao de mudanca de comportamento alimentar. Modificacoes positivas nas praticas alimentares foram relatadas durante as atividades e os discursos identificados apontam intencoes de futuras mudancas nos habitos alimentares diarios. Conclusao: O programa teve impacto positivo em aumentar o conhecimento nutricional e mudanca de comportamento alimentar; porem, para outros aspectos, principalmente envolvendo questoes emocionais, outras intervencoes devem ser planejadas.

Assessment of nutrition, supplementation and body composition parameters on the example of professional volleyball players.
BACKGROUND Volleyball is a team game belonging to a group of sports disciplines that involve indirect fighting. Adequate energy coverage in athletes is a crucial issue. It depends primarily on the type, intensity and duration of physical activity related to the sports discipline practiced and to the training cycle duration. The average energy requirement in sportsmen is 50% higher than that of adults. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to characterize the mode of nutrition, including dietary supplements and to assess somatic indices in female volleyball players of the AZS Bialystok team. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 17 women. Research tools included a questionnaire consisting of 24 hour recall, a questionnaire survey concerning supplement intake and body composition analysis performed using a bioimpedance analyzer InBody 220. RESULTS Data analysis indicates that the anthropometric characteristics and body composition of the AZS Bialystok players meet the recommendations associated with the somatic features in volleyball. Daily diet of the volleyball players were of low energy with regard to the recommendations for physically active people, with very low supply of carbohydrates and dietary fiber, excessive proportion of saturated fatty acids and dietary cholesterol, and too low content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Supply of vitamins and minerals was found to be alarmingly low, especially of iron and calcium; diet supplementation was insufficient. No significant abnormalities were noted in body composition of the study athletes. However, they are recommended to increase muscle mass and slightly reduce body fat. CONCLUSIONS Results of diet evaluation show the need for education in the field of nutrition and the necessity of further research into dietary habits among sportsmen.

Nutrition Education by a Registered Dietitian Improves Dietary Intake and Nutrition Knowledge of a NCAA Female Volleyball Team
Eleven female participants from a NCAA Division I volleyball team were evaluated for adequate energy and macronutrient intake during two off seasons. Total energy and macronutrient intake were assessed by food records and results were compared against estimated needs using the Nelson equation. Dietary intervention was employed regarding the individual dietary needs of each athlete as well as a pre and post sports nutrition knowledge survey. Post dietary intervention, total energy, and macronutrient intake improved, as well as a significant improvement in sports nutrition knowledge (p 0.001) Nutrition education is useful in improving dietary intake and nutrition knowledge of female athletes.
