Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of nutrition education programme using the Convenient, Attractive, Normative (CAN) framework to facilitate changes in mindset, attitudes and behaviours towards food among high-school male baseball players. Design: Quasi-experimental design. Setting: Two public high schools in Osaka, Japan. Methods: Students in two high schools (mean age ±  SD, 16.6 ± .5 years) participated in the study. One school served as an intervention group ( n = 28) and received the CAN nutrition education programme. The other school served as a control group ( n = 22), and students within it did not receive the intervention. Students in the intervention group received three nutrition lecture sessions and face-to-face individual nutritional guidance over a 4 month intervention period. Before and after the intervention, all students were asked to record their food and beverage intake by taking food pictures, recording portion weights and sending these to the project dietitian. They were also asked to develop a dietary behaviour plan for meeting their goals. At the end of the intervention, they were asked about their experiences. Results: Students in the intervention improved their food intake, dietary balance and athletic performance. Bat swing speed was significantly faster following the intervention. Body weight increased without changing lean body mass in both groups. Conclusion: Results suggest that a CAN nutrition education programme may be effective in increasing motivation and promote dietary behaviour change among male adolescent athletes. Future interventions should examine these motivational processes and investigate the factors contributing to well-balanced meals.

The WAVE~Ripples for Change: Obesity Prevention in Active Youth (WAVE) project’s primary objective is to prevent unhealthy weight gain among high school athletes through healthy eating and reduced sedentary time. Educators are familiar with the myriad of challenges in presenting nutrition, diet, and physical activity information to high school students. WAVE uses adolescent athletes’ interest in sport to draw them into the topic of sport nutrition and healthy eating; helping them apply the knowledge and skills they learned in class, on the field, and in their lives. WAVE developed and field-tested an after-school program for high school athletes that includes 7 sport nutrition lessons (30 to 45 minutes each) and 3 team-building, family and consumer sciences life-skill workshops. WAVE also developed a cloud-based data management system to support the tracking of learner profiles, survey administration, big data visualization, and automated health report generation.

Food Behaviors

Introduction: Adolescent obesity is one of the leading public health concerns in the United States. Children who are overweight as adolescents are much more likely to become obese adults. Providing nutrition education is a powerful resource for dietary behavioral change among adolescents and children. Teen Battle Chef (TBC), a component of the HealthCorps Living Labs program, uses culinary and nutrition education to promote behavioral change by empowering youth on multiple levels. This study examines impact of the TBC component of HealthCorps on NYC high school students’ food behaviors, leadership skills, attendance and academic performance. Hypothesis: That participation in Teen Battle Chef will increase attendance, academic and food behavior indicators Methods: We examined several food behaviors, leadership traits, attendance and academic performance of TBC students in the 14 NYC HealthCorps high schools. The TBC curriculum was implemented all 14 schools and a total of 176 students participated in the intervention and 40 students in the comparison group. Pre and Post surveys were conducted. Students from both interventional and comparison groups completed the same survey. Additionally, school performance data in a subset of students from the previous school year in the same schools were examined to determine whether participation affected school performance. Academic data (2012-13) from a total of 88 TBC from 2012-13 were compared to the entire school population. These included attendance, SAT scores, and graduation. Results: The TBC intervention group had significantly greater improvements in key food behavior indicators. Students reported an increased “energy level” [t=+2.90; p<0.01]; more likely to consume fruit [t=-2.17; p<0.05], carrots [t=-2.56; p<0.05], and less likely to drink soda [t=2.30; p<0.05]. The TBC group significantly increased their overall dietary quality (0.114; p=0.03) compared with the control group (0.006; p=0.90). An indication of leadership development, participants had significantly greater improvement in discussing the value of local foods with others (t=-3.31; p<0.01). Compared with previous year’s cohort, the mean SAT scores for TBC participants were significantly higher than overall school scores. Additionally, TBC participants attendance rate was 95%, compared to the school attendance rate of 86%. Conclusion: This study provides strong evidence that TBC helps develop leadership, teamwork, culinary skills, nutrition knowledge, food systems and self-efficacy for high school students. In addition, our study explicitly shows that TBC students improve their academic performance and attendance and are motivated to succeed in school as a result of their participation in the TBC/HealthCorps programs.
