Detailed description

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of carbohydrate quality on enjoyment of physical activity and burnout in athletes. Method: A total of 139 active athletes aged 19 to 35 years participated in the study. Participants completed a Demographic Structure Questionnaire, the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), and the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES). To assess carbohydrate quality, food frequency data were collected, and scores were based on fiber intake, the whole-to-total grain ratio, glycemic index, and solid-to-total carbohydrate ratio, each evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5 points. The resulting scores were categorized into five quartiles, with Q5 indicating the highest and Q1 the lowest carbohydrate quality. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software.
