1987
Ready, A.E.
Extract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nutrient intake of the Canadian Women's Olympic Field Hockey Team. Nineteen athletes (M age = 23.2 years) training for the Olympic squad were assessed in June 1983. A 3-day dietary record (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day) was used to evaluate intake. Each player was also interviewed by a nutritionist to ensure that the information recorded was accurate. A computer program (Action B.C.) was used to analyze the dietary record. Maximal oxygen uptake averaged 51.0 mL/kg/min and body fat averaged 18.5 per cent. Mean energy intake was 1966.6 kcal; 42.0 per cent as carbohydrate, 38.7 per cent as fat, and 15.3 per cent as protein. Several of the players were below the Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) for vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, and iron. It is recommended that the players receive dietary counselling in order to ensure that the requirements for an adequate diet and optimal performance are met.(author)
