Background. Many studies documented an increase in the alcohol consumption among athletes, particularly among representatives of some disciplines, such as team sports. Objective. The aim of the study was to analyse the consumption of alcohol beverages among Polish elite team sport athletes, depending on their sex, age and selected personality traits (general self-efficacy and health locus of control). Material and Methods. The study included 517 Polish team sport athletes (251 women an 266 men). The subjects were examined with an original alcoholic beverage intake survey, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scales (MHLC). Relationship between the intake of alcoholic beverages and explanatory variables (sex, age, psychological traits) was determined on multivariate analysis of variance and analysis of regression. Results. Beer turned out to be an alcoholic beverage which the surveyed athletes consumed most often (a few times per month on average). Wine, spirits and alcoholic cocktails were consumed less often (once a month on average). Multivariate analysis showed that consumption of wine, including dry wine, increased significantly with age of the study subjects (p<0.001). Women significantly less frequently considered beer and vodka (p<0.001), whereas men significantly less often preferred wine (p<0.05). The level of general self-efficacy did not influence the intake of alcoholic beverages (p>0.05). Lower levels of Internality were associated with less frequent consumption of beer (p<0.001), and lower scores for Powerful Others with lower intakes of dry wine (p<0.001) and vodka (p<0.01). Lower scores for Chance showed a significant association with lesser preference for alcoholic cocktails (p<0.05). Conclusions. The frequency and structure of otherwise relatively limited intake of alcoholic beverages among elite team sport athletes were influenced by their sex, age and health locus of control.

Background. Personality traits associated with one’s health beliefs and expectations constitute a determinant of dietary behaviours. Objective. The aim of the study was to analyse the dietary behaviours of young American football players in the Polish clubs and association thereof with their general self-efficacy level. Materials and Methods. The study included the group of 100 young men (20-30 years of age) who practiced American football on a professional basis in three Polish clubs. The study was based on an original dietary behaviour questionnaire derived from the Swiss Food Pyramid for Athletes and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Statistical analysis, conducted with Statistica 10.0 PL software, included intergroup comparisons with the Chi-square test. Results. Having at least three meals per day (82%), consumption of such protein products as eggs and/or meat several times per week (68%) and including cereal products in every main meal (67%) turned out to be the most often followed qualitative recommendations of the Swiss Food Pyramid for Athletes in the group of American football players. Other, frequently followed dietary recommendations included remaining on a variable diet (75%), preference to mineral water and other non-sweetened beverages (69%), reduced intake of sweets and salted snacks (65%), energy drinks (64%) and fast food products (60%). The least frequently declared dietary behaviours included consuming recommended amounts of vegetables/fruits (48%) and wholegrain cereal products (45%), and reduced intake of animal fats (42%). Analysis of a relationship between specific dietary behaviours and general self-efficacy level showed that the athletes with higher levels of this trait consumed recommended daily amounts of vegetables (54% vs. 26%, p<0.01) and cereal products (87% vs. 50%, p<0.001), had recommended number of meals per day (96% vs. 70%, p<0.001) and ate regularly (76% vs. 24%, p<0.001) significantly more often than the persons characterized by lower self-efficacy levels. Conclusions. Players with higher general self-efficacy levels adhere to the recommendations of the Swiss Food Pyramid for Athletes to a larger extent than the sportsmen with lower levels of this trait.
