Association of physical activity status with dietary energy density and nutritional adequacy

Abstract: This study evaluated the association of physical activity status with dietary energy density and nutritional adequacy. 205 individuals between the ages of 19-35 years (102 active, 103 inactive) (50% women) participated in the study. The individuals were grouped according to their physical activity status by gender. When the nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of the individuals' diets was evaluated, there was a significant difference between active and inactive men only in vitamin A and E adequacy (p < 0.05).

“…Among the present bank employees, there was no significant difference in the blood concentrations of most micronutrients between PA groups, except for vitamin D (among females) or selenium and vitamin B12 (among males), which showed higher concentrations among those with high levels of PA. Consistent with the present findings, results from a study revealed that PA level can impact nutritional adequacy, with varying effects observed between males and females [33]. The elevated vitamin D levels observed in physically active females may be partially attributed to their involvement in outdoor PA during different seasons, a prevalent practice among Austrian women [75] that exposes them to natural vitamin D absorption through sunlight exposure.…”

“…Physically active individuals have greater needs in both the quantity and quality of micronutrients due to increased losses through sweat and urine and have a greater need to defend against free radicals [31]. In this regard, a significant association has been reported between PA levels, nutritional adequacy, and dietary energy density [33]. Additionally, data show that engaging in regular PA can influence the utilization, absorption, and distribution of micronutrients within the body [34][35][36].…”
