ABSTRACT

Sports in general, as well as other professions that are in close relation with sport are usually presumed to be in connection with life quality, in particular regarding health. Most people would conclude that those involved professionally in sport lead a healthy way of life, take care about their dietary habits and avoid most of the habits that would endanger health. Sports coaches would be a typical example of a professional who should be well aware of the basis of healthy living, although this has never been scientifically proven and there is a lack of published work dealing with this issue.
