Abstract
Performance enhancing supplements are widely used today in the competitive sports community. With the desire to be the best competitor, younger athletes are using supplements. Although there is no strong evidence that supplements will benefit adolescent athletes, this population is using supplements. The purposes of this study were to identify male and female adolescents' frequency of supplement use, nutrition knowledge, and collect data that will aid in the development of nutrition education materials for adolescent athletes.
