Health related habits of tennis coaches
The aim of this research is to determine the health related habits of tennis coaches regarding nutrition, smoking and alcohol consumption. The sample comprises 49 tennis coaches from Croatia. For dietary habits, alcohol consumption and smoking habits determination, the new questionnaire was constructed based on previous national and international studies. The questionnaires were completed anonymously. The obtained data were analysed by standard statistical procedures, with statistical software package STATISTICA for Windows. According to the results it is obvious that dietary habits of the coaches are not on adequate level. Especially there is a problem in skipping the meals and eating fast food. Smoking is unfortunately widely accepted and though the campaign against smoking is going on in many countries the real results are still not apparent, and the number of deaths caused by trachea, bronchial and lung cancer is still very high (Prabhat and Chaloupka, 2000 ; Samet and Yoon, 2001). Concerning the smoking habits it was found that 27.3% of the tennis coaches are smokers. The good thing in this finding is that most of the smokers are smoking between 5 and 10 cigarettes per day. 61% of coaches are consuming alcohol, mostly beer and wine. Sport coaches are part of the population that has its own specificities and because their connection to athletes, especially young ones, they way of life deserves to be researched. As sports have a very important role in many nations worldwide, and even though for that the athletes take most of the credits the coaches are of great importance also, so their education in all fields would surely contribute to improvement of an athlete´s performance.
