Abstract Details

2011, MS, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Health Sciences.
The purpose of this study was to examine the role and perceptions of registered dietitians who work in sports nutrition. A survey was electronically distributed to the American Dietetic Association Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition dietetic practice group of 5,894 members. Additionally, a survey was distributed to all the student athletes and coaches of two division I institutions, Kent State University and Indiana University, to gauge the perceptions of registered dietitians in these sample populations. However, there was very low response rate with these surveys, and the data was excluded from the study. There were 650 dietitians who participated in this study. Statistical analysis consisted of means, standard deviations, and frequencies. The findings conclude that the registered dietitians who work in sports nutrition perceive their roles to be largely similar, but the frequency of performing tasks as a part of their role in sports nutrition was not as widely reported among the sample population.
