This study was carried out to compare the nutrition status of highly r\trained female athletes in Korea. The group of subjects was divided into three subgroup according to the sports practiced: rhythmic gymnasts (n=10), volley-ball player (n=13), golf player (n=9) and control group (n=10). The following variable were measured dietary intake, anthropometric indices(height, weight, and body composition). Dietary intake based on using 3-day food records (2weekdays, 1 weekend). The mean age, weight, training and career were 16.60 yr, 57.5kg, 6.54hr/day, 6.26yr, Results of this study were as follows: 1) The female athletics reported energy intake and Korea Recommended Dietary Allowance (%RDA) were 23.45kcal/kg(tota1028.66±371.43kcal/day,48.25%),44.83kcal/kg(total 2995.03±342.44kcal/day,142.63%),38.14kcal/kg(total1032.01±363.29kcal/day, 108.787%), 34.71kcal/kg(total 655.52±188.20kcal/day,94.24%), respectively. 2) The ratio of contribution by protein, fat, carbohydrate to the total energy intake were 13.4:12.9:73.7. 15.8:14.4:69.7 21.4:16.0:62.6 16.7:16.4:66.9 3) The ratio of nutrient distribution by breakfast : lunch : dinner : snake 1 : snake 2 (%) were 19.0:21.5:43.2:2.9:12.2, 19.6:24.06:28.34:5.7:22.3, 24.0:27.6:32.4:5.8:11.0 that was the reported intake of snake was high level. 4) The reported mineral intakes, especially calcium and iron were less that 100% of the RDA in all female athletes group.
