SPORTS NUTRITION FEATURES FOR STUDENT BASKETBALL PLAYERS

The purpose of the research is to analyze the experience of using sports nutrition, food substitutes and biologically active additives (BAS) by basketball students of a sports university. 

Methods and organization of the research. In total, 749 students of the Volga State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism took part in the study, 58% of them were girls and 42% were boys. The survey was conducted by filling out Google forms. During the questionnaire survey, students were asked to answer 42 questions with the "required question" option enabled, which allowed for all questions to be answered by each respondent.

Results and their discussion. The results are presented in comparison of male and female basketball players, as well as in comparison with athletes of 48 other sports. The analysis of the experience of using sports nutrition, food substitutes and biologically active additives (BAS) by basketball students of a sports university allowed to draw a number of conclusions about the advisability of their use in the diet of athletes based on such indicators as: duration and regularity of use, following the recommended rules for the use of sports nutrition, subjective assessment of its effect on one's own body, the motive of use and the factors contributing to this, in particular, the price and the manufacturer. One of the aspects of the problem is the weight of the importance of third-party advisors in the decision-making process regarding the use of sports nutrition, the validity of its use, approval of the coach and confirmation of the need by the doctor based on specific health studies. 

Conclusion. According to a number of positions (duration and regularity of sports nutrition use, motives for use), basketball students do not differ from students engaged in other sports. At the same time, there are indicators (the importance of coach's advice, subjective assessment of side effects, a number of factors affecting the tendency to use sports nutrition) that are characteristic exclusively for basketball players. An analysis of the state of this disposition among basketball students of a sports university made it possible to highlight the essence and necessity to initiate additional research in the field of sports nutrition, as well as the demand for an academic discipline covering sports nutrition issues in the training program for students of sports universities.
