Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objectives: Combat female soccer athletes underfueling during their competitive season.

Study Overview: This project proposes an open label, pilot research endeavor between the Department of Nutrition at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) and the NCAA Division III CWRU Women's Soccer Team. The proposed study design will implement a commercially available, dietitian-designed phone app, Eat2Win. Eat2Win provides targeted nutritional education, specifically for soccer athletes, to improve fueling for sport and health. Additionally, Eat2Win's photo-based phone app technology will be used to provide individualized feedback to improve athlete fueling. Anthropometric, aerobic fitness (VO2), resting metabolic rate, physical activity, body composition and health-related questionnaire data will be collected from a subset of athletes at three timepoints: pre-season, in-season, and post-season. Biological measures from fingerstick blood and breath will be collected in a subset of participants at the three timepoints.

General Aims/Hypothesis: Our intervention will strive to improve athlete health and performance through nutrition education and personalized feedback using the Eat2Win app.
