Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the dietary habits of players in the premier league of Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 68 players (40 male and 28 female) were engaged as a participant from four football clubs in the Ethiopian football premier league. Sixty-eight players filled out the questionnaire correctly and returned it on time. Descriptive statistics were tabulated for players' demographic data, and their total and sub-category mean scores. From the total dietary habits score results obtained, no significant (p > 0.05) difference was found between the age, educational qualification, and source of nutritional information regarding dietary habits. But there was a significant (p < 0.05) difference between gender participant players, such as both male and female players, regarding dietary habits. Only gender is a correlated relationship in dietary habits, while age, educational qualification, and source of information have no correlated relationship in dietary habits.
