透過各式的營養問卷調查可作為改善選手營養教育之重要依據,因國內選手使用營養補充品已逐漸普遍,但目前尚未針對國內女壘選手的使用情形作調查。目的:探討女壘選手使用營養補充品之情形。方法:使用問卷調查法取得193 份有效問卷,問卷內容包含:基本資料、補充品使用狀況、考量因素與訊息來源。資料以描述性統計分析,並以卡方檢定比較不同年齡差異之情形。結果:選手對補充品使用率達94.30%,平均每人使用4.96 ± 3.34 種。在各項補充品中,以運動飲料使用率最高,其次為餅乾及巧克力。使用時機方面,運動飲料主要在訓練中,餅乾、巧克力、高蛋白則主要在訓練後。在頻率方面,多數以1 天1 次或偶爾使用為主。在不同年齡方面,高中生使用高蛋白的比例顯著高於大專生,而大專生使用巧克力及咖啡之比例則顯著高於高中生。選擇營養補充品之目的以補充營養及增強肌肉為主。訊息來源主要源自教練及隊友。結論:女壘球選手已普遍使用營養補充品,但是在選擇營養補充品的配合時機與符合需求方面仍有待加強。
