– One can think that he (Cristiano Ronaldo) is one of the best in the world, so then I should also do it, says Casper Bachke to news. Bachke, who is a soccer player and student at NTG youth school in Bærum, is one of many young people who look up to both the work ethic and mentality of the Portuguese. But the 16-year-old has also noticed how Ronaldo exposes his body in social media. news has previously written about the so-called “Ronaldo effect”. A new term experts use to describe a frightening trend that is spreading in society. For both Ronaldo and several other major sports profiles show off their bodies and fat-free diets on their channels. It can have a negative contagion effect on young people, the experts believe. – Not optimal Bachke and several of his friends at secondary school have noticed that. – It is not optimal for a vehicle to front such things for too many people. It can lead to someone developing slightly unhealthy habits with regard to food, says Oscar Brannsten Strevens. – He would like to show off his “pack”, but for young people like us, who are in a growth phase, it is not smart to think about having that “pack”. The important thing is to get enough food, adds Brother Kildahl.

They have all seen boys of the same age struggling with food. – There are more people who have a bit of a challenge with it, as I experience anyway, says Streven’s open heart. – They are stressed Kjersti Rolfsen, clinical nutritionist at NTG Bærum, notices that the challenges around food often develop when the pupils are injured. – They are used to mass, then they are put in a situation where they come out of training habits and can feel the other shooters in terms of performance. They become more vulnerable and can take this beyond food, she explains to news. Many of the young people also come because they are tired and wonder if they have had enough. Others find food difficult, they know they have to eat enough, but are afraid to put on weight because of performance and appearance. They end up eating too little. This creates a conflict between health and performance, she explains. – Too little food over time can change your mindset, and you can lock yourself into a food and exercise pattern that is not good. It can be difficult to change, says Rolfsen, who emphasizes that this does not represent the majority of the students she helps at NTG youth. – The pupils learn that they cannot succeed without eating enough, but that is not always so easy to achieve in a hectic weekday, she points out. At NTG junior high school, in collaboration with parents and teachers, they have started to have conversations with the pupils from the 9th grade, so-called “health times”. There the pupils can talk about non-sporting topics in groups. Rolfsen believes it is important to talk openly with the pupils about food and the body, growth and development and feelings, in a safe and free space. It will be preventive and good for mental health, she points out. – They are stressed because they have to perform in two arenas. They have both sports and school, and they get tired. – There are guys who also think a lot about their bodies and food, concludes Rolfsen. Struggling to get enough Bror Kildahl trains up to 12 sessions a week, and is among those who admit that it can be difficult to get enough nutrition in a hectic school and training weekday. – DIFFICULT: Brother Kildahl says that it is sometimes difficult to get enough nutrition. Photo: Petter Larsson / news – Sometimes I like to struggle with the crowd. I feel like eating. I feel that I am hungry, but my stomach has to stop, says Kildahl, who points out that he often feels more relaxed than usual during these periods. Furthermore, the 16-year-old points out that this only applies for short periods. But Kildahl is aware that the energy level decreases by not getting enough food in relation to the amount of training. The same applies to Bachke. – It can be a challenge once in a while, you want to have enough nutrition in the right way. You also have to think about training at the same time. If you train too close, you may feel a little full and heavy. But if you do it too early, there is a big chance that you won’t have enough energy for training, says Bachke.
