Abstract

Nutritional assessment of the adolescent is very important, as it provides the status of health. Calculating Dietary Nutrition Index (DNI) is an ideal method to the study nutritional status of any population. In the present study dietary index of the players who are studying in tribal schools of Chhattisgarh and players who are residing in urban area and training under Sports Authority of India was assessed. Total of 200 subjects aged between 14 to 17 years participated in this study. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used to compare the nutritional status of different groups. The result of the study revealed that DNI of tribal boys and girls and SAI girls is inadequate. Further it was found that there was a significant difference between the groups. SAI boys and girls showed better values as compared to tribal boys and girls. It is suggested that intervention to meet the dietary requirement of the players should be planned for optimal performance.
