Abstract | Objective To evaluate the impact of an Interdisciplinary Food, Nutrition and Health Education Program on nutrition knowledge, intention to change eating behavior, and body dissatisfaction of adolescent volleyball players. Methods The sample consisted of 10 female volleyball players from the juvenile category of the city of Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, who participated in a program with eight monthly meetings (one discussion group followed by six educational activities and one final discussion group for evaluation). Results Nutrition knowledge, body perception, intention to change eating behavior, eating attitudes and practices were investigated using questionnaires and discussion groups before and after the athletes' participation in ludic activities designed to address nutrition strategies for athletic performance and healthy eating, and how to deal with pressure for results and self-image. Nutrition knowledge improved from 57.0%+/- 9.9 to 63.0%+/- 11.8 (p=0.03) of correct answers. The mean body distortion score did not change (70.0 +/- 14.9 versus 76.5 +/- 22.4, p=0.235). Six athletes advanced in their intention to change eating behavior. Positive food practices were reported during the program and the identified discourses indicated the intention of changing the daily eating habits in the future. Conclusion The program had a positive impact on nutrition knowledge and intention of changing eating behavior however, for other issues, especially involving emotional aspects, further interventions should be planned. |
