“…However, many studies show that athletes from different countries, ages, and sports do not consume diets in line with these nutritional recommendations 5,34 . Several factors can explain this dichotomy: results of new studies that lead to changes in the recommendations do not always reach athletes quickly; often athletes follow information disseminated through social networks and media or by unqualified colleagues and professionals 35 , which creates a nutritional cacophony.…”

“…For example, bodybuilders and fitness center athletes adopt "diets to grow", typically hyperproteic 39 . Among combat athletes, strategies for rapid weight loss are commonly adopted, such as self-induced dehydration to reach the weight class in which they compete 40 , while athletes in sports with an aesthetic component adopt extremely restrictive diets 1,5,41 .

From a historical perspective of athletes' eating practices, the advancement of science and the provision of food in the modern Olympic Games, the author seeks to show that many challenges in practicing Sports Nutrition have their roots in how these processes were built. This essay aims to provide arguments for a reflection on the work of dietitians in the sports' scenario considering the growth of interest in this area, as well as the hosting of major sports events in Brazil. The professional training and the skills required to work in this area, as well as the eating practices of athletes, often far from the nutritional recommendations but heavily laden with symbolism and representations, making it important for their identity within their peer group, are among the current challenges that can be emphasized. As the main prospects for the comprehensive care of athletes, the author highlights the importance of adopting an interdisciplinary approach, and of dietitians fully understanding the meaning of nutrition for athletes in order to address the gap between their food practices and the recommendations.

“…O ambiente das academias favorece a disseminação de padrões estéticos estereotipados, como o corpo magro, com baixa quantidade de gordura ou com elevado volume e hipertrofia muscular 2 , motivo pelo qual grande parte dos frequentadores buscam uma nutrição ideal e adequada ao tipo de treino 3,4 . Ainda que a preocupação com a saúde e estética tenha aumentado notavelmente, existe muita falta de informação e orientação em relação à nutrição ideal e, assim, o praticante de exercícios físicos pode vir a desenvolver e/ou manter hábitos alimentares inadequados, ou consumir erroneamente suplementos alimentares, prejudicando o alcance de seus objetivos com a prática de exercícios físicos 3 .…”

RESUMOIntrodução: O ambiente das academias favorece a disseminação de padrões estéticos estereotipados, levando muitos frequentadores a desenvolver hábitos alimentares inadequados e, muitas vezes, recorrer à utilização de suplementos alimentares. Ainda existe muita falta de informação e orientação em relação à nutrição ideal, o que pode prejudicar o desempenho desportivo. Objetivo: Avaliar o uso de suplementos alimentares, consumo alimentar e conhecimento nutricional dos praticantes de exercícios físicos da cidade de Pelotas, RS, Brasil. Métodos: O grupo de estudo constitui-se de 60 indivíduos que responderam a um questionário e a um recordatório de 24 horas. A média de idade dos indivíduos foi 23,28 ± 3,37 anos e a grande maioria era composta por estudantes e profissionais com nível superior completo (83,3%). Resultados: Verificou-se que 31,7% utilizavam algum tipo de suplemento alimentar, sendo em sua maioria homens (78,9%). Aminoácidos ou concentrados protéicos foram os mais consumidos. A fonte de indicação mais citada foram os instrutores e professores de Educação Física, seguida de autoindicação. A análise das dietas mostrou-se hipoglicídica, hiperprotéica e hiperlipídica. Houve relação estatística significativa entre o uso de suplementos alimentares e o consumo de proteínas acima do percentual recomendado (p=0,003). A população demonstrou moderado conhecimento quanto a conceitos básicos na área de nutrição e dificuldade em relacionar o alimento com sua fonte. Conclusão: Ressalta-se a necessidade de orientação nutricional, auxiliando os frequentadores de academia a atingir seus objetivos bem como o esclarecimento de dúvidas, visando melhorar o desempenho desportivo com os benefícios de uma alimentação adequada.

The frequency of weigh-ins, weight intentionality and management, and eating among female collegiate athletes

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Female athletes often experience sport-environment pressures about weight, eating, and body composition from within the sport environment. One pressure that may be particularly debilitating is being weighed as a requirement of sport participation. Using 414 female collegiate athletes from weight-sensitive sports, we examined the frequency of weigh-ins, weight intentionality, weight-management practices, and eating and nutritional behaviors. Of the 41% of athletes who were weighed, most were done by athletic trainers in private (82%) and prepared by using at least one weight management strategy (75%). In the entire sample, 22.8% ate <1500cal per day and 55% wanted to lose weight (approximately 5lb). The majority (78%) received their nutritional advice from qualified sources (e.g., dietitian). Although being weighed was not required for the majority of the athletes, and when mandated was done in a relatively healthy manner, sizable numbers of the athletes wanted to lose weight, ate less than needed for their sport, and received guidance on how to eat healthfully from unqualified sources. Additional research is needed with other sports to establish baseline data for these behaviors.
