The purpose of
the study is observing food habits and awareness of the students studying at
Coaching Training and Sports Teaching Department of School of Physical
Education and Sports and detecting whether there is a variance between
departments. The study has been observed on 94 students at Physical Education
Teaching Department and 106 Coaching Training Department, which makes 200
students in total. For data collection,
a 30-question food habit questionnaire comprising of 20 food habit questions
and 10 nutrition awareness questions prepared by Goral as well as a personal
information form filled by researchers have been used. Data derived from the
scale had been converted to form of tables by extracting distributions in terms
of percentage. SPSS
16.0 has been employed for statistical estimations. The frequency and
percentage values of the derived data have been calculated, and a chi-square
had been utilized to detect any variance between the groups within different
categories. In case of a value p>0.05, the variance between groups is
accepted to be significant. The information collected has pointed out no significant variance
between the awareness levels of the students at Coaching and Teaching
Department with respect to the answers given by them about weight follow-up and
body analysis, the number of meals in a day, use of alcohol, regular fluid
intake and beginning day with breakfast. In respect of information resources of
nutrition and nutrition awareness before and after training, significant
relations have been uncovered about awareness of the relation between awareness
of level of daily energy need, awareness and way of nutrition habits before and
after training and success in sports. Finally, no
significant variance has been detected between the nutrition awareness levels
of the students at Coaching Department and the ones at Sport Teaching
Department in some issues. It is important to improve both groups' awareness
levels of athlete nutrition. Our study offers that some more extensive studies
should be done on this matter.
