Abstract

Introduction: diet and sleep shape the health and performance of young athletes. Objective: to describe Mediterranean diet adherence, sleep quality, mindfulness and nutrition knowledge in adolescent basketball players, and to examine their relationships. Methods: cross-sectional study of 33 basketball players (17 boys and 16 girls; aged 11 to 18 years) who completed the MEDAS-14, PSQI, MAAS and CCNAD. Spearman correlation was used. Results: only 6.1% showed high adherence to the Mediterranean diet and 30.3% had poor sleep quality, which was more frequent in girls (50.0% vs 11.8%; p = 0.026). Mindfulness was related to better diet (ρ = 0.57) and nutrition knowledge to better sleep (ρ = −0.65), but not to diet. Conclusions: future studies should test whether combining nutrition education with mindfulness and sleep hygiene strategies improve these habits.
