  • american college of sports medicine joint position statement nutrition and athletic performance
    Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2016
    Co-Authors: D. T. Thomas, Kelly Anne Erdma, Louise M Urke
    Abstract:

    It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of Sports Medicine that the performance of, and recovery from, sporting activities are enhanced by well-chosen nutrition strategies. These organizations provide guidelines for the appropriate type, amount, and timing of intake of food, fluids, and supplements to promote optimal health and performance across different scenarios of training and competitive sport. This position paper was prepared for members of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada (DC), and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), other professional associations, government agencies, industry, and the public. It outlines the Academy's, DC's and ACSM's stance on nutrition factors that have been determined to influence athletic performance and emerging trends in the field of sports nutrition. Athletes should be referred to a registered dietitian/nutritionist for a personalized nutrition plan. In the United States and in Canada, the Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) is a registered dietitian/nutritionist and a credentialed sports nutrition expert.

  • The role of the nutritional support dietitian in Europe
    Clinical Nutrition, 1999
    Co-Authors: J.p. Howard, Cora F. Jonkers-schuitema, U. Kyle
    Abstract:

    Abstract The European Community now supports the potential for professionals to practice in any of the member states subject to recognized local standards of education and practice being achieved. However, there is no agreed role for the nutritional support dietitian. This leads to an inconsistent and, sometimes, fragmented approach to the nutritional management of patients throughout Europe. There is a need to develop a common dietetic approach to nutritional support in order to raise awareness and rationalize standards. This will help to optimize care to individual patients by fostering good practice, developing effective communication and encouraging research. Background: The role of the clinical dietitian varies widely throughout Europe — it tends to be more highly developed in some countries than in others, which is a cause for concern among Dietitians in ESPEN. This appears to be caused by several factors including education, clinical awareness of the benefits of dietetic support and access to adequate financial resources. The intention of this paper is to focus on the key aspects of the role of the dietitian working in nutritional support. The educational requirements of such a dietitian are outlined and these could be used as a preliminary guide for institutions responsible for delivering undergraduate dietetic programmes. The overall intention is to identify minimum educational standards for practice in this field throughout Europe. However, these should be viewed as a baseline from which to proceed. They should also be perceived as a quality standard for facilitating professional development, sharing clinical practice and enhancing patient outcomes. This paper does not address issues of resource allocation. Recommendations: a) There should be agreement about the key functions of the dietitian working innutritional support; b) There should be a common standard at first degree level for all Dietitians; c) There should be an identified programme of post-graduate study (both clinical and academic) leading to specialization in nutritional support; d) There should be an innovative approach to providing clinical support for emerging specialists; e) ESPEN should investigate the potential for developing an accredited and integrated European dietetic standard in nutritional support.

  • intercollegiate student athlete use of nutritional supplements and the role of athletic trainers and Dietitians in nutrition counseling
    Journal of The American Dietetic Association, 2004
    Co-Authors: Robert D Burns, Rosita M Schiller, Mark A Merrick, K.n. Wolf
    Abstract:

    Abstract A survey of university student athletes was conducted to determine supplement use, perceived efficacy of supplements, availability and use of nutrition services, and perceived nutrition knowledge of athletic trainers. Results from 236 athletes showed that 88% used one or more nutritional supplements, yet perceived efficacy was moderate (2.9 or less; 5-point scale). Classes (69.4%), brochures (75%), and individual counseling (47%) were available and were used by 29.9%, 33.2%, and 17.9% of athletes, respectively. Primary sources of nutrition information were athletic trainers (39.8%), strength and conditioning coaches (23.7%), and Dietitians (14.4%). Athletes perceived athletic trainers to have strong nutrition knowledge (mean=3.8±0.9; 5-point scale). Many (23.5%) did not know whether a dietitian was available. Dietitians must accelerate their marketing efforts to student athletes, work closely with athletic trainers to provide sound nutrition information, and provide services that meet the needs of a diverse population of student athletes.

  • Dietitians Roles in the Interdisciplinary Health Care Team
    Journal of The American Dietetic Association, 1998
    Co-Authors: R Dahlke, K.n. Wolf, S.l. Wilson, Melanie S. Brodnik
    Abstract:

    Abstract The role of the dietitian is evolving as contemporary health care systems change. In particular, the increasing usage of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams for health care delivery is providing opportunities for Dietitians to expand current roles. Dietitians must strategize and position themselves to continue to be an influential presence on these teams. To assess present roles, potential barriers to these roles, and potential strategies for success in these roles, eight focus groups were conducted at the 1997 Annual Meeting of the American Dietetic Association. A total of 41 Dietitians varying in age, experience, and location of employment participated in the study. The views expressed during the discussions were diverse, however general themes developed. The participants did not describe many team roles for a general staff dietitian. Most roles and responsibilities were specific to specialized teams such as nutrition support or rehabilitation. Overall, the participants agreed their roles are changing or will change, but were uncertain of the outcomes. Dietitians felt their current roles are multi-faceted and commonly function as educators, leaders, and subject-matter experts. The participants concluded to remain an integral part of the team, Dietitians need to become more proactive, increase the marketing of their skills, acquire new skills, expand responsibilities, and take more risks. Ultimately, Dietitians may use this information to better position themselves in health care teams.
