Food sources of calcium in a sample of African-American and Euro-American collegiate athletes

Article Abstract:

This article examines calcium intake and food sources among European-American and African-American college athletes. Findings indicate that mixed dishes and dairy products were the most common food sources of dietary calcium, that there were no racial differences in calcium consumption levels, and that male athletes consume significantly more calcium than female athletes.

A pilot intervention to increase calcium intake in female collegiate athletes

Article Abstract:

Examination is done on whether calcium supplementation in eumenorrheic female athletes promotes bone mineral density (BMD). Studies reveal that calcium supplements of 1000 mg/d adequately boost the total intake to the recommended levels during athletic training.

Reliability and validity of a brief questionnaire to assess calcium intake in female collegiate athletes

Article Abstract:

The risk for training injuries and future osteoporosis is increasing in female collegiate athletes due to inadequate calcium intake. Calcium intake specifically, rather than total dietary intake, is assessed by the Rapid Assessment Method was developed on several groups of Americans, including college students, making it pertinent to collegiate athletes.
