Nutrition Survey Blog

What we tried to find in the survey was what type of nutrition habits that athletes in this school had during the season and/or on game day. 

 Yes the demographic questions helped understand the difference in not only the number of sports the different genders played, but the different nutrition habits each had as well.  

If I could change one thing, I would have added more detailed questions in the survey.  I wish that I could take the people who answered that are competitive athletes, and survey a more detailed list of nutrition questions.

There really was no difference in boys vs girls.  The only difference was that people who participated in 2+ sports tended to care more about their nutrition on game days.

The question that told  us the most was "What do you eat/drink during your game?"  This question told us the most because we got a huge variety of answers.  It seemed that the people who played more sports tended to have drinks such as Gatorade while they played.

We can summarize that people who took the survey they played multiple sports tend to watch what they eat on game days.  They also tend to listen to a trainer or a coach for help with sports nutrition.  People who didn't play sports had the tendency to not care as much about what they eat on game days.  

What I like d about this project was that it was really wide open.  We could ask whatever questions we want under not many guideline.  It was cool to see the results.
