Abstract :
The foremost aim of physical education has been to inculcate a healthy mind in a healthy body. The aim of this study was to find out the nutritional awareness among inter college women players in Tamilnadu. To achieve the purpose of the study, the investigator developed an awareness questionnaire consisting of 25 statements and administered among 50 women inter college players of different disciplines. The administered questionnaire has the four dimensions for assessing the nutritional awareness. Each statement was responded by the respondents for a 5 point scale, strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree and Strongly disagree. The score for each of the dimensions were discussed as positive (those who strongly agreed and agreed) and negative (those who strongly disagreed and disagreed). The results presented on four different dimensions on nutritional awareness of women inter college players proved that the players have adequate awareness on nutrition and helpful for general health, however they do not believe that nutrition would tone up muscles and specific food would help to improve specific fitness. Further the men players were not aware that proper nutrition could improve performance of them as revealed by their responses. It was concluded that the importance of nutritional awareness among women players must be emphasized and popularized so that they could follow suitable nutritional habits for their all round development.
