What the publication reports
The authors report consistently suboptimal nutrition knowledge across sex, age and participation levels, and identify accessibility, time and cost as barriers to conventional education. They propose framework-based multimodal delivery as a testable direction rather than a proven solution.
Limits and interpretation
This is a narrative review, not a quantitative effectiveness synthesis. Long-term evidence for multimodal and short-form digital education in team-sport athletes remains a stated gap.
