• 1 other identifier: PEP-2202
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 120
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

In a population of boys and girls high school basketball players, the primary objectives are to assess 1) bone mineral density and vitamin D status, and 2) energy intake and dietary quality. The secondary objectives are to assess 1) nutrients related to bone health (calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, protein) and 2) protein intake over the day. Data collection takes place pre-, mid-, and post-season.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Bone mineral density

  whole body

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal whole body bone density would be better.

• Bone mineral density

  spine

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal spine bone density would be better.

• Bone mineral density

  total hip

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal total hip bone density would be better.

• Bone mineral density

  femoral neck

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal femoral neck bone density would be better.

• Bone mineral density

  vitamin D status

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Adequacy will be defined as a value > 32 ng/mL. Higher Vitamin D values would be better.

• Energy intake

  24 hour recall

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Energy intake that meets recommendations would be better.

• Dietary quality

  24 hour recall

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Diet quality that meets recommendations would be better.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Assess nutrients related to bone health (calcium)

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Calcium intake that meets recommendations would be better.

• Assess nutrients related to bone health (magnesium)

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Magnesium intake that meets recommendations would be better.

• Assess nutrients related to bone health (vitamin K)

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Vitamin K intake that meets recommendations would be better.

• Assess nutrients related to bone health (protein)

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Protein intake that meets recommendations would be better.

• Protein intake over the day

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Looking at pattern of protein intake.

Other Outcomes (4)

• Assess frequency of consuming carbohydrate during training

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Looking at pattern of carbohydrate intake.

• Assess current intake of supplements

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023) in consumption of supplements. Better or worse outcome not applicable.

• Weight

  Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). No desired direction of change, expecting it to remain contstant.
