Limitations
sports nutrition is relatively small when it comes to this study. Lacks information on team sizes, and reliant on self report of the athletes.
-
The resultsof the present study support the small body of literature iden-tifying ‘Lack of Knowledge and Skills to Cook Healthy Foods’as a barrier
Is the issue that some athletes dont know how to cook meals at home of have decided to leave that alone because of how easy it is to access unhealthier options of food?
-
‘Cost of Healthy Foods’ was significantly associatedwith ‘Year in School’ and ‘Where the Individual Lived’
Are these the only factors that go into "cost of healthy foods?" Does where they live play a major role with athletes struggling to eat healthy? What about athletes with NIL deals or sponsorships?

Easy Access to Unhealthy Foods’ with94 participants (56%), ‘Lack of Time’ with 93 participants(55%), and ‘Cost of Healthy Foods’ with 78 participants(46%).
these are the top 3 barriers athletes chose for the survey

This is summarized well in a scoping review by Munt et al.30where the authors identified 12 primary barriers from the litera-ture including, but not limited to, unhealthy diet of friends andfamily, relative low cost of unhealthy foods, and lack of motiv-ation to eat healthily. This contrasts with the collegiate athleticsubpopulation, whose performance is largely affected by anadequate diet, where the literature is scant.
Potentially another site I can investigate to see the contrasts but first glance that site would focus outside of athletes and focus more on the general public.

RD’s, at universities with a full-timeRD, more likely approaches 250:1
Seems to be a major issues in schools. Limited access to RDs at school and having to consult around 200 plus athletes a day seems strenuous

Help athletes or general public with consuming the required amount of nutrition to stay healthy

effects can be observed including decreases inaerobic and anaerobic performance, glycogen stores, coord-ination and concentration, muscle strength, and endurance,as well as increases in the risk for depression, injury, andimpaired judgment
Serious effects of not eating enough food, could tie this in to athletes not eating enough as a result of dieting or simply being a reason why athletes eat junk food instead of nutritious foods

chronically hypocaloric
constantly consuming fewer calories than the body is burning

The performance and recovery benefits of an optimal dietfor athletes cannot be overstated. Appropriate energy intakesupports general body functioning, assists in body compos-ition alterations, and bolsters athletic performance
Importance of what we put in our body and how it can effect our performance
