Case study: the use of smartphone application technology to improve dietary practices, nutrition knowledge and body composition of a female international rugby union player
Nutrition application (app) technology may offer a cost-effective and novel method of maintaining better communication between athletes and practitioners at times of the season when such interactions may be limited (i.e. periods separating livein training camps). In contrast to clinical populations, limited research has profiled the use of nutrition app technology within athletic cohorts. With indices of nutrition knowledge, body composition and dietary intake of primary interest, this case study reports the effects of implementing nutrition app usage with a female international rugby union player (19 years old, 6 international U20s caps).
