ABSTRACT
Aim: The purpose of this
study is to ascertain the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of students
studying in the Coaching Education Department of the Faculty of Sport Sciences
regarding the utilization of nutritional ergogenic supplements.
Methods: 61.5% of the
participants were male (n=264), 38.5% (n=166) were female. Data were collected
by conducting an online questionnaire. 19.5 % of students reported using
ergogenic nutritional supplement products. The students received an average
score of 3.1±0.7 on the benefit sub-dimension of the attitude scale toward
nutritional ergogenic supplement products, 2.7±0.6 on the side effects and
ethical sub-dimension, and 2.9±0.7 on the natural nutrition sub-dimension.
Results:
A significant difference has been detected in the mean scores of students on
the benefit sub-dimension depending on their gender, sports branch, and use of
nutritional supplement products, on the side effects and ethical sub-dimension
depending on their gender, class, and use of nutritional supplement products,
and on the natural nutrition sub-dimension depending on their gender and use of
nutritional supplement products (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Students
gave the expected answer to most of the questions regarding the use of
nutritional ergogenic supplements. Observing the beneficial effect of taking
the sports nutrition course on the responses, reveals the importance of
education once again.
Keywords: Coach, Nutrition, Nutritional
Ergogenic Support, Ergogenic Aid.
