Abstract

Purpose of the study: To examine the impact of an 8-week dietary intervention, based on USDA 2010 guidelines, on nutritional behaviors, metabolome, and microbiome of young adults at risk of disease. Methodology: This study utilized an 8-week, free-living, randomized trial using Nutritionist Pro™ (Axxya Systems), ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers, and 16S rRNA sequencing for microbial profiling. Participants were counseled with weekly tailored interventions by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Biochemical, anthropometric, dietary intake, and microbiome data were collected and analyzed using SAS and JMP software. Main Findings: The intervention increased fruit, vegetable, and fiber intake while reducing saturated fat and empty calorie consumption. Significant improvements were observed in systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, and total cholesterol. Microbial analysis revealed decreased Firmicutes and increased Bacteroidetes post-intervention, along with improved inflammatory markers and serum ceramide levels. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study uniquely integrates dietary intervention with a multi-omic approach including metabolomics and microbiome analysis in a young adult population. It provides foundational evidence for personalized nutrition and translational research, highlighting how targeted dietary changes can influence microbial composition and metabolic health.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: this research intends to explore how reflective practice is being perceived and applied within an elite English football academy setting. Specifically, it aims to investigate how key staff, working as part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), interpret and implement The FA’s Plan-Do-Review model. Furthermore, how do academies mobilise reflective practice according to the values and unique cultural environment of the Club under the auspices of the Premier League’s Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP). Methodology: The study used a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews involving twelve MDT members. Moon’s Model of Reflection and The FA’s Plan-Do-Review framework guided thematic analysis using manual coding. Main Findings: Findings indicate that 1) There is a disconnect between the understanding and learning of reflective practice through coach education courses and its application within the real world. 2) Reflective practice should be nurtured and developed through strong networks and interprofessional collaboration, utilising communities of practice and mentoring relationships both in and outside the work environment. 3) The different disciplines working within an MDT will engage in reflection to varying depths and levels. Rather than viewing reflection on a hierarchical scale, the level and method of reflection should be determined by the individual, their experiences, and the context. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical insight into real-world reflective practice among sports professionals, offering a novel multidisciplinary perspective and practical recommendations for coach education and academy policy.
