Dear Coach,

We are conducting a research study at the Sport Ireland Institute in collaboration with the University of Ulster to assess the nutritional knowledge of coaches (> 18 years of age) in Ireland. The information gathered will help to develop some coaching specific nutrition education in the coming months.

In addition to assessing your knowledge of sports nutrition the questionnaire also contains questions in relation to the type of sport you coach and will also ask about your views in relation to receiving sports nutrition training. The questionnaire will take approximately 15-20 mins to complete and you will not be asked to provide any personal information. All data collected will be fully anonymous.

If you are willing to participate in this study please complete the questionnaire that is available at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8J7W737 .

Completion and return of the questionnaire (online submission) will be indicative of your consent to participate in this study.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the researchers below:
