In a sport like soccer, there is often significant disparity in training schedules among different teams within the same club, without considering whether this may affect players’ performance. The aim of this study was to describe differences in nutrient intake and body composition in elite youth soccer players from the Spanish league with different training schedules (morning and evening). A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine differences in anthropometric variables and dietary assessment in a sample of Spanish young soccer players. A total of 41 players participated in this study. After comparing the groups according to their training schedule, no differences were observed in body composition between both groups; the evening-night training group showed higher consumption of lipids and saturated fats. In summary, more experimental studies are needed to determine the effects on various health and performance parameters of different training schedules in young population.}, organization = {High Council for Sports (CSD), Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport, through the NESA NETWORK Spanish Network of Sports Care at Altitude Ref. 19/UPB/23}, organization = {University of Granada (Own Research Plan-P.10)}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Football}, keywords = {Soccer}, keywords = {Body composition}, title = {Differences in Diet Assessment and Body Composition among Young Spanish Elite Footballers: Morning Training vs. Evening Training}, doi = {10.3390/app14198787}, author = {Almendros-Ruiz, Antonio and Latorre, José Antonio and Conde Pipó, Javier and Fernández Martínez, José and Acuña Castroviejo, Darío and Requena, Bernardo and Mariscal Arcas, Miguel}, }
