Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief summary: The objective of this testing is to gain a better understanding of sports nutrition knowledge in high school athletes and their influencers (coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, athletic therapists, dieticians). Since the sports nutrition knowledge of the high school athletes will be limited, nutrition behaviors will be assessed to infer knowledge of sports nutrition.

The secondary objective is to determine the primary sources of nutrition knowledge in these populations.
