Abstract
Background and aim: The athletic performance not only under the influence of a training program but several factors are involved that nutrition is one of the most effective. The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and nutritional habits of boys and girls handball players in Fars province.
Methods: The population of this study were included all athletes participating in the League Handball Fars province of which 200 were selected randomly as the sample. In order to analyze the data, SPSS software version 22, independent t-test, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used and the significance level was α=0.05.
Results: The results showed that there is no significant difference in nutritional knowledge (p=0.64) between boys and girls. But there is a significant difference between the dietary habits between boys and girls, so that boys are more likely to be affected by food habits than girls (p=0.03). There is also a significant positive correlation between nutritional habits and nutritional knowledge (p=0.001) in boys and girls athletes.
Conclusion: It seems nutritional knowledge is the same for girls and boys in handball players of Fars province. However, boys are more likely to be affected by food habits than girls. Also, with increasing nutritional knowledge, the nutritional habits of girls and boys of handball will improve.
