Introduction: The objective of this study will be to evaluate the eating habits and anthropometric characteristics of level 11 artistic roller skaters aged 14 or older registered with the Catalan Skating Federation (Spain), through the development of a structured nutritional education protocol.
Methods: This 24-month project will follow a quasi-experimental pre-post evaluation design consisting of three phases. The first phase will be an observational study in which anthropometric data will be collected, and three questionnaires will be administered: KIDMED, EAT-26, and WPS (M/F). The second phase will involve an intervention consisting of six nutritional education sessions addressing various topics related to nutrition and the practice of artistic roller skating. Finally, the third phase will be the re-evaluation phase, during which the anthropometric data collection will be repeated, along with the same three questionnaires from the first phase.
Results: Following this protocol, the ideal body composition for artistic roller skaters will be determined, as well as a description of their eating habits. Additionally, the presence or risk of developing eating disorders will be identified, as well as whether these habits are part of the norm within this sport discipline.
Conclusion: The results of this project will address the lack of evidence on nutrition and eating habits in artistic roller skating, focusing on high-performance athletes.
