The objective of the study was the knowledge of rational nutrition among athletes aged 16-24 years, representing various sports. No significant differences were found between male and female athletes regarding percentages of correct answers to posed questions, as well as between male athletes representing various sports. In female athletes, however, the frequency of correct answers was higher in case of those engaged in endurance or combat sports than in other sports. A positive relationship was found between the increased level of nutrition knowledge and athletic experience. The levels of knowledge of general biological topics and sources of individual nutrients proved alarmingly low, magazines and books (56%) or family (48%) being indicated as the principal sources, while school was mentioned by 26% of subjects only.
