Clinical Trial Summary

In a population of boys and girls high school basketball players, the primary objectives are to assess 1) bone mineral density and vitamin D status, and 2) energy intake and dietary quality.

The secondary objectives are to assess 1) nutrients related to bone health (calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, protein) and 2) protein intake over the day.

Data collection takes place pre-, mid-, and post-season.

Description:

This study will assess the dietary intake male and female 14-19 year old student athletes, specifically energy intake and dietary quality (i.e. how closely do their diets meet recommendations).

Investigators hypothesize that vitamin D status will be suboptimal in most participants though bone density will be normal.

Investigators hypothesize that participants will maintain energy balance over the course of the season (no significant changes to body mass or body composition) but dietary quality will not meet recommendations.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Assess frequency of consuming carbohydrate during training	Carbohydrate intake via 24 hour recall	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Looking at pattern of carbohydrate intake.
Other	Assess current intake of supplements	Measure intake of supplements (pills, powders, gummies, etc.) via 24 hour recall and reported concomitant meds/supplements	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023) in consumption of supplements. Better or worse outcome not applicable.
Other	Weight	Body weight scale accuracy to one tenth of a kilogram using a scale from data Weighing Systems, Wood Dale, IL	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). No desired direction of change, expecting it to remain contstant.
Other	Height	Participants standing and seated height will be measured by electronic stadiometry to the nearest cm using QuickMedical stadiometer, Warwick, RI	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Better or worse direction not applicable.
Primary	Bone mineral density	whole body	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal whole body bone density would be better.
Primary	Bone mineral density	spine	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal spine bone density would be better.
Primary	Bone mineral density	total hip	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal total hip bone density would be better.
Primary	Bone mineral density	femoral neck	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal femoral neck bone density would be better.
Primary	Bone mineral density	vitamin D status	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Adequacy will be defined as a value > 32 ng/mL. Higher Vitamin D values would be better.
Primary	Energy intake	24 hour recall	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Energy intake that meets recommendations would be better.
Primary	Dietary quality	24 hour recall	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Diet quality that meets recommendations would be better.
Secondary	Assess nutrients related to bone health (calcium)	Calcium intake via 24 hour recall and calcium supplement, if any	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Calcium intake that meets recommendations would be better.
Secondary	Assess nutrients related to bone health (magnesium)	Magnesium intake via 24 hour recall and magnesium supplement, if any	Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Magnesium intake that meets recommendations would be better.
