About this study

In a population of boys and girls high school basketball players, the primary objectives are to assess 1) bone mineral density and vitamin D status, and 2) energy intake and dietary quality.

The secondary objectives are to assess 1) nutrients related to bone health (calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, protein) and 2) protein intake over the day.

Data collection takes place pre-, mid-, and post-season.

Read the detailed description

This study will assess the dietary intake male and female 14-19 year old student athletes, specifically energy intake and dietary quality (i.e. how closely do their diets meet recommendations).

Investigators hypothesize that vitamin D status will be suboptimal in most participants though bone density will be normal.

Investigators hypothesize that participants will maintain energy balance over the course of the season (no significant changes to body mass or body composition) but dietary quality will not meet recommendations.

What participants receive

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

  • Vitamin DDiagnostic test

    Also called Vitamin D (25(OH)D)

    Finger stick capillary blood sampling using test from ZRT Laboratories, Beaverton, OR

  • DXA scanDiagnostic test

    Also called Dual Xray Absorptiometry

    10 minute scan using scanner by GE Lunar, Madison, WI

  • Nutrition analysisOther

    Analysis of 24-h recalls will be conducted by a registered dietician using Nutritionist Pro software by Axxya Systems, Redmond, WA

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone mineral density

    whole body

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal whole body bone density would be better.

  2. Bone mineral density

    spine

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal spine bone density would be better.

  3. Bone mineral density

    total hip

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal total hip bone density would be better.

  4. Bone mineral density

    femoral neck

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal femoral neck bone density would be better.

  5. Bone mineral density

    vitamin D status

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Adequacy will be defined as a value > 32 ng/mL. Higher Vitamin D values would be better.

  6. Energy intake

    24 hour recall

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Energy intake that meets recommendations would be better.

  7. Dietary quality

    24 hour recall

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Diet quality that meets recommendations would be better.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Assess nutrients related to bone health (calcium)

    Calcium intake via 24 hour recall and calcium supplement, if any

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Calcium intake that meets recommendations would be better.

  2. Assess nutrients related to bone health (magnesium)

    Magnesium intake via 24 hour recall and magnesium supplement, if any

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Magnesium intake that meets recommendations would be better.

  3. Assess nutrients related to bone health (vitamin K)

    Vitamin K intake via 24 hour recall and vitamin K supplement, if any

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Vitamin K intake that meets recommendations would be better.

  4. Assess nutrients related to bone health (protein)

    Protein intake via 24 hour recall

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Protein intake that meets recommendations would be better.

  5. Protein intake over the day

    Times of day protein is consumed

    Measured: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Looking at pattern of protein intake.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Health, run by PepsiCo Global R&D at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2024. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Bone mineral density (time frame: Changes from basketball pre-season (October 2022) to mid-season (January 2023) to post-season (April 2023). Normal whole body bone density would be better.). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jan 2024.
