JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn the field of sports and health promotion, nutrition management cannot be conducted using the same approach as those already established for nutrition care and management in other fields. This is attributable to differences between the 2 types of management with respect to the purpose of management, the period of management, subjects, the need for an action plan, and the evaluation items. Therefore, a new approach was devised for sports nutrition management. The process involved in this management was as follows: First, the purpose and period of management were determined; subsequently, the subjects were chosen via screening, and personal support (personal management) was ensured for each subject. After personal support was achieved, the nutrition management was evaluated, including the results pertaining to personal support for all subjects. Personal support was ensured in the following order: assessment, setting of personal aims, drafting a support plan, enforcement of the support plan, monitoring, and personal evaluation. The analysis showed that high-quality effective nutritional management could be achieved in the case of sports nutrition management because the Japanese women's national softball team won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing. Therefore, sports nutrition management was introduced as a nutrition management system in the field of sports and health promotion in Japan.View full abstractDownload PDF (922K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: This study investigated the total vegetable intake and homegrown vegetable intake, from the viewpoint of food accessibility, in the rural area residents of Hokkaido.
Methods: Totally, 44 subjects above 30 years of age and residing in Bifuka, Hokkaido were asked to complete a dietary survey questionnaire conducted during all 4 seasons. Information on the means of obtaining the vegetables (homegrown, received gift, or purchased) and the contents of the diet was collected and recorded. Based on the average annual total vegetable intake, the subjects were divided into high and low vegetable-intake groups. The intake of different food groups was examined in both groups. Subsequently, in both the high and low vegetable-intake groups, the means of obtaining vegetables were evaluated in farmers and non-farmers. In order to examine the factors that contribute to the total vegetable intake, we conducted a multiple regression analysis in the non-farmer and farmer groups.
Results: The non-farmers of the high vegetable intake group had a higher intake of homegrown vegetables compared to that in non-farmers of the low vegetable intake group. All farmers consumed mostly homegrown vegetables, although the high vegetable-intake group consumed more homegrown vegetables than the low vegetable-intake group. Furthermore, we found that homegrown and received gift vegetable intake contributed significantly to the total vegetable intake.
Conclusion: The relation of taking in the homegrown vegetable and there being many total vegetable intakes was suggested.View full abstractDownload PDF (952K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: We conducted a questionnaire survey (5 items) among male workers regarding their attitude towards weight loss attempts after the first interview of the Specific Health Guidance; the relationship between their attitude and weight loss after 6 months was examined.
Methods: We enrolled male workers who attended the first interview of the Specific Health Guidance in a medical checkup organization in Osaka from April 2010 to March 2011. The association between weight loss over 6 months and the level of support as well as smoking and drinking habits and the stages of change that had been assessed in the Specific Medical Checkups, was examined. In addition, we examined the relationship between weight loss over 6 months and the attitude of the workers towards weight loss attempts as well as social support that had been assessed by the questionnaire.
Results: In total, 160 male workers were included in the analysis, and their responses were as follows: motivation, I think that I will do seriously (60.0%); importance, I strongly agree and I understand that it is necessary (50.6%); and value, It is important for my life or work (68.1%). There was no relationship between weight loss over 6 months and the stages of change for weight loss assessed in the Specific Medical Checkups; however, the change in weight was greater in those who understood the value of weight loss after the Specific Health Guidance.
Conclusions: The stages of change assessed at the Specific Medical Checkups was not related to the weight loss achieved; however, a high value for weight loss attempts after the first interview of the Specific Health Guidance was associated with weight loss. Thus, it is important for counselors and health educators to understand the attitudes during the first interviews and to provide support accordingly.View full abstractDownload PDF (923K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: To examine factors associated with reporting error for total energy intake (TEI), which was estimated from food records and by doubly labeled water (DLW) method in female athletes.
Methods: Our study comprised 38 female athletes (middle and long-distance runners, swimmers, rhythmic gymnasts and lacrosse players). Calculated total energy expenditure (cTEE) was calculated from total energy expenditure (TEE), which was assessed by the DLW method and changes in body weight during the study period. TEI was assessed using food weight records from the TEE assessment period.
Results: cTEE and TEI were, respectively, 2,673±922 kcal/day and 2,151±434 kcal/day for runners, 2,923±749 kcal/day and 2,455±297 kcal/day for swimmers, 3,276±497 kcal/day and 1,852±314 kcal/day for gymnasts, and 2,628±701 kcal/day and 2,329±407 kcal/day for lacrosse players. Reporting errors were −13.6±24.1%, −13.3±14.3%, −42.0±15.3%, and −2.8±38.3% for runners, swimmers, gymnasts, and lacrosse players, respectively. Reporting error was significantly greater in gymnasts than in lacrosse players. However, no sportive attributes in body composition or dietary intake among four groups were observed. Subjects with high precision TEI assessment had lower TEE, a lower proportion of energy intake from fat, higher intake of confectioneries, higher number of meals, and a greater proportion of energy intake from carbohydrates than subjects with under-reporting in TEI assessment. Low TEE was significantly and independently associated with high precision in TEI assessment.
Conclusions: In female athletes, TEI reporting error was related to TEE, type of sporting activity, confectionery and macronutrient intake, and number of meals. Further research is needed to assess psychological and social factors that may contribute to TEI reporting error.View full abstractDownload PDF (988K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: The objective of the present study was to qualitatively determine the developmental process of self-realization among students who underwent practical training at municipal health centers or municipal health and welfare departments.
Methods: After categorizing the summaries that express the future and the learning, the summaries in the training reports written by students receiving practical training at facilities such as municipal health centers as part of the training course for registered dietitians were analyzed the relevance about the theoretical frameworks of self-concept.
Results: Ten categories were sampled from the summaries written by 26 students who underwent practical training at facilities such as municipal health centers. Six categories corresponded to frameworks of self-concept. Formation of the self-concept of students was initiated through tours of regional healthcare businesses as well as experiences and preliminary training at these businesses, through which students were able to confirm their role models, make realistic self-assessments, and realize that others recognize their abilities. However, there were four categories that required classification outside of the frameworks.
Conclusion: An analysis of the summaries written by students following practical training enabled classification according to the frameworks of self-concept. The results showed that the self-realization of students was promoted by practical training conducted in cooperation with regional healthcare businesses. However, there were categories that required classification outside of the frameworks, indicating issues when citing findings in the field of education.View full abstractDownload PDF (857K)
