Validation of the Modified Athlete Dietary Index (mADI) Against a 7-Day Food Record Assessing Food Consumption Among Irish Athletes.

ABSTRACT: Nutrition is crucial for enhancing performance and overall health among athletes. However, detailed dietary assessments are often time-consuming, challenging to conduct accurately, and burdensome. Therefore, there is a need for a more time and cost-effective method for assessing dietary intake among Irish athletes. This study aimed to validate a modified Athlete Dietary Index (mADI) as a screening tool for use among Irish athletes. Eligible participants included team and individual sport athletes over the age of 18 years, currently competing in competitions.
