The education combined interactive presentations and video instruments on the four pillars of balanced nutrition and rehydration management. Knowledge was evaluated using validated questionnaires and analyzed with a paired t-test. Result showed significant increase in knowledge scores across all three groups post-intervention (p < 0.001). Audiovisual-based nutrition education effectively improves the knowledge of the youth soccer support system and promotes nutrition-conscious behaviors to optimize athletic performance.
