| dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted to assess the nutritional knowledge,attitude and dietary practices of athletes of Dharwad city. The carbohydrate profile of pasta products and suitability of Dicoccum wheat as carbohydrate loading for long distance runners was tested. The nutritional status of athletes was assessed by anthropometry and food adequacy, while knowledge,attitudes and practices by questionnaire method. The proximate principles and carbohydrate profile of Durum and Dicoccum wheat pasta products was analysed by standard procedures. Durum and Dicoccum pasta products were given as test foods for carbohydrate loading and endurance capacity of athletes was tested by running and cycling in comparison with the normal diet. The results revealed that the anthropometric measurements like height,weight,mid-arm circumference and chest circumference of males were higher than females while fat fold thickness of females were higher when compared with ICMR standards on all India basis and lesser when compared with African athletes. The food adequacy was higher in males compared to females. Nearly 60 per cent of the athletes had moderate knowledge about nutrition. Favourable attitudes was found in 56 per cent of athletes and about 53 per cent of athletes had satisfactory food practices. Dicoccum wheat vermicelli had a higher protein content and complex carbohydrates compared to durum wheat vermicelli. The percentage of starch and sugars was higher in durum wheat, where as higher proportion of total dietary fibre was found in dicoccum wheat pasta product. The endurance capacity of durum and dicoccum wheat vermicelli fed trial was significantly higher compared to normal diet. Further, dicoccum wheat vermicelli fed trial had shown an improvement over durum trial. Athletic performance can be improved by imparting better nutrition knowledge. Dicoccum wheat which is superior in protein and complex carbohydrate can be recomended as an energy food for athletes. | en_US |
