During four academic years, 200 Egyptian male students from the Faculty of Physical Education had their nutritional status, dietary intake, and nutritional knowledge assessed. Energy, macronutrient, and micronutrient intake increased significantly in higher classes, according to the study, which used anthropometric measures, 24-hour meal recalls, and a nutrition awareness questionnaire. Additionally, awareness of nutrition increased, particularly in areas like supplements, healthy eating, and anemia. Early-year kids showed limited awareness and insufficient nutrient intake despite these advancements. Its limits in evaluating nutritional health in this athletic population were highlighted by the fact that BMI values did not significantly correlate with nutrient intake or awareness scores, nor did they indicate any significant changes between classes. The study suggests using more accurate body composition techniques for better health assessment and emphasizes the necessity of improved dietary education included in physical education programs. | ||||
