Abstract

Professional golfers travel extensively during the tournament season, making it difficult to maintain their health and physical strength. Such problems as menstrual disorders and low bone mineral density have been reported with female athletes, and the difficulty of maintaining a good physical condition has been pointed out.<br>This study investigates the current condition of professional female golfers with regard to their physical health and eating habits as the first step in devising a regimen to improve their physical condition. A questionnaire survey of such aspects as physical characteristics, food intake frequency, health condition, and nutrition was conducted on 104 professional female golfers. A total of 60 responses (58%) were usable and demonstrate a deterioration of physical condition during the tournament season. The respondents also expressed a desire to acquire information about nutrition from a dietitian or doctor.
