Objective: This study was carried out to determine the nutritional knowledge levels of teachers working in Edirne Center. Methods: A total of 389 teachers, 272 female (69.9%) and 117 male (30.1%) volunteers working at schools affiliated to the Republic of Turkish Ministry of National Education in Edirne Center and agreeing to participate in the study. The research data were collected by face-to-face interview method using a questionnaire form. The data of the research were evaluated using the SPSS 19.0 package program. Findings: The average age of teachers participating in the study was 42.67 +/- 8.76 years. Teachers' nutritional knowledge score average was 4.61 +/- 1.36. There was no significant relationship between teachers' age, gender, marital status, education, branch of study and body mass index (BMI) and their nutritional knowledge scores (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between teachers' access to nutritional information source, food label reading knowledge, emphasizing healthy nutrition in their lessons giving nutritional advice to their students and nutritional behavior affects students' behavior (p> 0.05). There was a negative relationship between age and nutritional knowledge score, and it was significant at 0.09 level ( r = -0.093. p = 0.067). The relationship between the nutritional knowledge score and body mass index (BMI) was not found to be significant (p> 0.05). Result: In the study, the nutritional knowledge levels of teachers did not reach the expected goals for each teacher. The implementation of nutrition education programs and the frequent evaluation of the results of teachers, who shape the future and are role models for students, will lead future generations to gain healthy eating habits.

(Mattioli 1885, 2020) Pehlivan, Leyla Tevfikoglu; Ozcan, Burcu Ates; Erem, Sinem; Ercan, Aydan; Akkaya, Izel; Basarir, Aylin
Study Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of sports students' about dietary supplements. Method: This study was carried out voluntarily by applying face-to-face questionnaires with 145 students aged 18-25, 37.9% female, and 62.1% male, studying at Trakya University School of Physical Education and Sports. 'The questionnaire includes demographic information of the participants, information and use of dietary supplements, and anthropometric measurements. Results: 45.5% of the students used dietary support, and the rate of dietary support usage of males (30.3%) was higher than dietary support usage of females (15.2%) (p>0.05). It was found that 11.7% of the students received information from doctors / dieticians, 13.8% from trainers, and 18.6% from other sources (internet, television, friends) (p <0.05). It was determined that the students mostly heard about branched chain amino acids, amino acids, and coenzyme Q(10) dietary supplements and they tried and quit products such as protein powder, multivitamin, and n-3 fatty acids. Participants stated that they mostly used caffeine, protein powder, and n-3 fatty acid supplements. 'The majority of the students stated that dietary supplements provide energy, do not benefit in irregular use, affect performance when used with physical activity, excessive protein supplements or any supplements to increase muscle mass will be beneficial, even if they are fed adequate and balanced nutrition, they should take supplements or in excess doses. They also stated that they do not have sufficient information about the label information of dietary supplements and their harmful effects in long-term use. Conclusion: Sports students got information about dietary supplements from the internet and their friends. There is a need for more widespread information about the correct use of individuals who do sports by obtaining information from correct sources, specific to the individual and under appropriate conditions.
