Study by researchers from the Faculty of Public Health published in Foods -MDPI
The Scientific Journal (Foods) of the Swiss Publishing House (MDPI) published a study prepared by researchers from the Faculty of Public Health on nutritional supplements taken by athletes in Lebanon, entitled: Dietary Supplements Use among Athletes in Lebanon: Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices, and Correlates.
The study aimed to identify the behavioral gaps of athletes by measuring their knowledge and perceptions and evaluating their practices according to several characteristics (age, gender, educational level, type of sport, level of competition, hours of exercise, years of practice).
The work team presented the results of the study and the danger of mis-consumption of nutritional supplements to concerned parties, and stressed the importance of the Parliament’s work to regulate the import and sale of such supplements as a solution to limit the arbitrariness of their use through advanced laws.
