WIceFIT: Coaches’ nutrition and body composition knowledge and athletes' well-being
Welcome to participate in the study!

The aim of the first phase of the WIceFIT study is to find out what Finnish coaches know and think about nutrition and body composition, and how these topics are addressed in their interactions with athletes. In addition to coaches' nutrition and body composition knowledge, the aim is also to investigate athletes' perceived body pressures and their associations with athletes' eating behaviour and body image.
