A total of 96 adolescent athletes in the under-16, under-18, and under-20 categories selected by the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia, of whom 47 were male (age = 18.31 \u00b1 2.31 years old) and 49 female (age = 17.27 \u00b1 1.44 years old), participated in this study. They completed the KIDMED questionnaire to discover their AMD, as well as an anthropometric and physical condition assessment. Results: The findings show that 61.45% had an excellent degree of AMD, 31.25% a moderate one, and 7.30% a poor one. The parameters that most conditioned AMD were the consumption of fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, breakfast cereals, and dairy products (p = 0.011\u20130.000). AMD did not show significant differences in anthropometric characteristics and physical fitness (p = 0.057\u20130.996). Conclusions: The majority of high-level adolescent athletes have a moderate or excellent AMD. The degree of AMD seems to have no influence on physical fitness and anthropometric parameters in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16050624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]],"date-time":"2024-02-23T10:47:30Z","timestamp":1708685250000},"page":"624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Its Influence on Anthropometric and Fitness Variables in High-Level Adolescent Athletes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Antonio E.","family":"V\u00e9lez-Alc\u00e1zar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Deporte, UCAM Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30310 Cartagena, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2315-3777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Alfonso","family":"Garc\u00eda-Roca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Deporte, UCAM Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30310 Cartagena, Spain"},{"name":"Olympics Studies Center, UCAM Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30310 Cartagena, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2708-4817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Vaquero-Crist\u00f3bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Activity and Sport, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Murcia, 30720 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smhs.2019.08.006","article-title":"Physical Activity, Exercise, and Chronic Diseases: A Brief Review","volume":"1","author":"Anderson","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sports Med.
