Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcome is an analysis of the usability (feasibility) of
NutriProfiel focused on athletes. Does the tool meet the wishes and
expectations of the athletes?
Secondary outcome
As a secondary outcome, we analyse the blood values for deficiencies and
toxicity. Are there many deficiencies or toxic vitamin values in a group of
athletes in the Netherlands and should this analysis therefore be included as
standard care in a sports health examination?
Background summary
Background: Nutrition plays an important role in sports. Proper nutrition can
ensure good health, better recovery after a workout or competition, and
improved performance. A balanced diet is always the basis of an athlete's diet.
This food ensures, among other things, that the athlete gets enough vitamins
and minerals. A shortage of vitamins and minerals can lead to reduced health,
less adequate recovery (after injuries) and underperformance. Therefore it is
important to monitor an athlete's dietary intake. NutriProfiel has been
developed to provide customized nutritional advice. NutriProfiel is a tool that
combines insights about the diet and analysed vitamin values in the blood into
a dietary advice for the individual. NutriProfiel is already in use in practice
and healthcare for non-athletes. This tool has recently been adjusted to
athletes.
Study objective
Objective: To evaluate the usability (feasibility) of the recently developed
tool 'NutriProfiel focused on athletes' so that opportunities can be explored
for further improvement and implementation in practice.
Study design
Study design: Athletes who go to the sports doctor for a sports examination
(incl. Blood test) are asked whether they want to participate in an extra study
to evaluate the NutriProfiel tool. For the athlete, participating means that in
addition to the standard 10ml of blood an additional 10.5 ml of blood is
collected (for this study). In addition, the athlete will complete an online
questionnaire (Eetscore) about his / her nutritional intake. In addition to the
regular sports examination report from the doctor, the athlete then receives
advice about his / her vitamin status and his / her nutritional intake. The
athlete will then receive a questionnaire to evaluate the NutriProfiel tool. 3
months later, the athlete will complete the Eetscore questionnaire again to
analyze changes in eating pattern.
Study burden and risks
Risk and / or burden for the participants: The athlete will have to donate 10.5
ml of extra blood, fill in the Eetscore questionnaire (15 minutes work) and the
athlete will subsequently complete an evaluation questionnaire (15 minutes
work) and once more the Eetscore questionnaire. The risks and burden are very
low. The extra blood draw will take place via the same venipuncture, only 3
extra tubes are clicked on for the extra 10.5 ml of blood. So there is no extra
puncture. The Eetscore questionnaire and the evaluation questionnaire are
simple and quick questionnaires. The advantages for an athlete are that he /
she gets insights into his / her diet and micronutrient intake and status
