EFFECTS OF SPORTS NUTRITION ON FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS’ PHYSICAL FITNESS

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Optimizing the physical education training of female college students and maximizing physical fitness are considerable factors in contemporary physical education. It is believed that implementing sports nutrition can elevate the physical fitness of these female students. Objective: Explore the effects of sports nutrition on the physical fitness of female college students during their training period. Methods: 20 volunteers were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, with 10 female college students in each group. The control group had no changes in original living or training habits, while the experimental group was retrained according to the sports nutrition intervention strategy for one month. Results: In the experimental group, whose height was 161.02±5.64 cm, body weight decreased from 55.91±4.61 kg to 54.39±4.45 kg, and vital capacity increased from 44.98±8.61 ml/kg to 52.56±8.91 ml/kg. The body mass index of grip strength increased from 45.18±7.60 to 51.27±9.99 after the experiment. The 50M running time was improved from 8.27±0.49 s before the experiment to 7.98±0.53 s after the experiment, and the horizontal jump time was improved from 164.87±20.40 cm to 168.27±21.24 cm. The 800m running time was improved from 263.55±20.35 s before the experiment to 259.25±29.29 s after the experiment. Conclusion: The intervention strategy in sports nutrition can effectively maximize the gain in the results of female college students. It is indicated to be promoted to spread the optimization of physical training in colleges and universities. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
