The Use Of Ergogenic Aids Among High School Athletes In Eastern Kentucky, John Robert Brandenburg

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

A fifteen-question survey was developed to study the use of over-the counter nutrition supplements by high school athletes in eastern Kentucky. Athletic trainers from four local high schools were given one hundred permission forms and surveys. After two weeks only a small number (n=25) completed the requirements to participate in the study. The twenty-five participants consisted of male (n=15) and female (n=10). The athletes with the highest frequency of supplement use were football players (67.7%). The supplements with the highest use were protein powders (n=13) and creatine monohydrate (n=9).

Nutrition Education To Prevent Obesity In School-Aged Children, Marilyn Susanne Lee

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

About 15.3% of children ages 6-11 are obese; an 8% increase since 1980.
