About this study

The study's aim is to determine if nutrigenomics-based dietary advice is a greater motivator for dietary change amongst an athlete population. Specifically, the investigators will be examining whether nutrigenomics-based personalized dietary advice results in greater changes in dietary intake and body composition amongst athletes compared to personalised population-based sports nutrition advice. It is hypothesized that the Nutrigenomics in Sports Nutrition group would engage in greater dietary changes and better adhere to the dietary advice compared to the standard advice group.

Being tested
Genetic based dietary advice, Personalised population based dietary advice

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Genetic based dietary adviceOther

    Genetic test results for 70 genes relating to nutrition and physical activity will be used in conjunction with participants current dietary intake to create nutrition advice tailored to each individual.

  • Personalised population based dietary adviceOther

    Current dietary intake will be compared with current best practice population-based sports nutrition dietary advice to create tailored nutrition advice for each of the participants

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in dietary intake from baseline

    We will assess dietary intake for energy intake, carbohydrates, protein, fat, sodium, caffeine, glycemic index, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Folate and Calcium using a 3 day food record conducted at baseline using Easy Diet Diary phone application. A second 3 day food record will be conducted post intervention period to examine any changes in dietary habits.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in body composition from baseline

    At baseline, participants will indicate body composition goals and baseline body composition measurements will be taken using International Society for Advancement of Kinanthropometry accredited guidelines. Repeated body composition measurements will be taken post intervention to examine in any changes in body composition.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Genetic based dietary advice and Personalised population based dietary advice in people with Sport Nutrition and Nutrigenomics, run by University of Auckland, New Zealand at 1 site in New Zealand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in New Zealand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in dietary intake from baseline (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2021.
