AB [EN] The aim of the present study was to analyse dietary habits and fluid intake of professional basketball players with consideration of dietary guidelines and sport nutrition recommendations. A dietary habit questionnaire including a 24 h recall was recorded by 55 elite basketball players of the first Spanish Basketball League. Energy consumption among these athletes was high 17.7 ± 0.9 MJ · day-1 in comparison to other elite team sport athletes. Furthermore intakes of protein, fat, saturated fatty acids mineral and most vitamins exceed the current Daily Recommended Intakes (DRI's) for these macronutrients whereas, intakes of carbohydrate and vitamin E failed to meet the guidelines. Daily fluid intake was 3126 ± 1226ml. Water was the preferred beverage (1688±1032 ml), followed by milk (445 ± 521 ml), commercial sport drinks (377 ± 520 ml), carbonated beverages (307 ± 492 ml), juices (150 ± 208 ml), beer (67 ± 189 ml), non-alcoholic (beer 49 ± 158 ml) and wine (43 ± 218 ml). Sixty-six percent of the participants reported to consume particular foods before competition and 10% stated to do this after competition. On average athletes consumed 646 ± 352 ml · h-1 and 882 ± 486 ml of liquids during training and competition session, respectively. Furthermore, 44 % of the participants recorded not to drink before getting thirsty and 3 athletes stated never to drink during training and 2 did so during competition. Results of the present study underline the need for professional advice from sport nutritionists for elite basketball players. © 2004 by Human Kinetics Publishers and the European College of Sport Science.
