Abstract: This review aims to examine the effectiveness of nutritional education among adolescent athletes.The PubMed, CiNii, and J-STAGE databases were searched for the last 10 years (2010.01-2020.01).In addition, articles on sports nutrition were included in the search.Search terms on PubMed were "adolescent," "athlete," "nutritional education," "program," and "intervention," and search terms for CiNii and J-STAGE were "junior high school," "high school," "athlete," and "nutritional education."The search yielded 335 papers.After screening, 21 articles were selected (included 10 Japanese studies and 11 foreign studies).Few studies of adolescent athletes have been conducted in Japan or other countries.All of the studies reported an improvement in nutritional knowledge, attitudes, behavior, dietary intake, and physique, but many were single-arm intervention studies.Therefore, the effectiveness of nutritional education was limited.Higher quality research needs to be conducted.
