Does this sentence make sense to the English speakers
The original sentence I wanted my students to write is "there have always been recommendations made to athletes about foods that could enhance their athletic performance"
But some of them wrote like this : there have always been recommendations about foods that could enhance their athletic performance made to athletes.
Can 'made to athletes' which modifies 'recommendations' be that far apart from the modification target??
Waiting for your kind answers~~
