Are you a student athlete? Interested in sports nutrition? Participate in our research study!

Proper nutrition is essential to athletic performance, but with all the conflicting information and advice out there, it’s hard to know what’s right. It can be even more of a challenge without the foundational knowledge, tools, and support to help you succeed.

About the study:
Dietetics and Nutrition Assistant Professor Leslie Redmond and research team are interested in learning more about how they can support UAA athletes in achieving optimal performance through improved nutritional strategies. You will be asked to complete a survey assessing your food and nutrition related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) as well as current food habits and preferences. Learning this information will help us to develop nutrition-focused educational materials and programs for UAA athletes in the future.

What’s in it for you? Athletes who complete the survey will have the option to receive a $5 discount for use at the UAA Campus Store and/or be entered to win one of three test packages from the UAA Human Performance Lab. Test package will include one BOD POD test and one VO2max test. You can learn more about these tests at the Human Performance Lab website.

To participate, you must be a current athlete at UAA, have full-time student status, be at least 18 years of age, and be able to read and write English. That’s it!
