Efficacy of Individual Nutrition Counseling on Resting Energy Expenditure, Oxygen Consumption, Fat-Free Mass and Percentage Fat of Body Weight.

The efficacy of individual nutrition counseling (INC) on nutrition behavior using objective measurements in competitive athletes has not been investigated. We therefore evaluated the influence of INC on the objective outcomes: oxygen consumption (VO2) at rest, resting energy expenditure (REE) measured by indirect calorimetry, fat-free mass (FFM), and percentage fat of body weight (PF) measured by tetra-polar bioelectrical impedance in varsity cross-country athletes at three-time points of pre-during-& post-season.enindirect calorimetryindividual nutrition counselingnutrition behaviorFat-free masstetra-polar bioelectrical impedanceVarsity Cross-County athletesArticle
