Abstract/Summary:
A nutrition program was created to provide information on how to increase lean body mass in off-season football players. The intent of the program is to provide a resource for football coaches, strength coaches, athletic trainers, and football players. The program has a special emphasis on football players, but could be used by any athlete who is trying to increase lean body mass. The program contains five topics: protein, fat, carbohydrates, post workout nutrition, and creatine. Five Division III football players, two Division III strength coaches, two certified athletic trainers, and one registered dietician evaluated the program. The results were supportive and the evaluators would recommend the program to football players attempting to increase lean body mass in the off-season.
