Summary

This completed trial tested whether three weekly group nutrition sessions taught by a dietitian could improve sports nutrition knowledge, eating habits, and body composition in 97 adolescent female handball players. The study randomly assigned four clubs to either the education program or usual diet. The goal was to see if a brief, practical class could help young athletes make healthier food choices for better performance.
