“…Mesmo não havendo diferença significativa, fato que poderia ser diferente com o aumento da amostra e mudança do teste estatístico, os valores percentuais demonstram a tendência de meninas disporem de maior atenção à realização de dietas em relação aos meninos. Estudos relatam maior preocupação de atletas do sexo feminino com o aumento da massa gorda e até mesmo maiores riscos de transtornos alimentares, o que pode favorecer a realização de dietas restritivas 19,20 . Nesta perspectiva, parecem necessários estudos que investiguem estratégias que eduquem atletas adolescentes de pentatlo moderno para uma alimentação mais saudável, como já foi realizado com sucesso em jovens de outras modalidades 16,21 .…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A caracterização do perfil antropométrico ao fim da fase de treinamento competitivo e após o destreinamento decorrente da fase de transição pode auxiliar a elaboração de estratégias que beneficiem pentatletas adolescentes no retorno ao treinamento. Objetivo: Analisar o impacto do destreinamento, originado pela fase de transição, na antropometria de adolescentes pentatletas. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 16 meninos (15,12 ± 1,77 anos) e 10 meninas (14,57 ± 2,40 anos) praticantes de pentatlo moderno. A adesão à dieta específica no período de destreinamento foi avaliada por profissionais especializados. No fim das fases competitivas e de transição, foram avaliadas a maturação sexual e as variáveis antropométricas. Resultados: Valores percentuais demonstram que meninas tendem a aderir mais à dieta do que meninos. Diferenças significativas (p < 0,05) entre os períodos foram observadas somente no sexo masculino, nas variáveis massa corporal (0,003), estatura (0,000), somatório de dobras cutâneas (0,033) e na mesomorfia (0,001). Conclusão: A massa corporal, o somatório de dobras cutâneas e a mesomorfia parecem ter sofrido impacto negativo do destreinamento. O aumento da estatura parece estar associado ao pico de velocidade da estatura. Em meninas, a tendência de aderirem mais à dieta pode ter contribuído para a não identificação de alterações antropométricas. Palavras

“…The reported prevalence of DE and EDs in athletic populations from a number of sports, including aquatic sports, ranges from 18 to 45% in female athletes (da Costa et al, 2013;Nichols et al, 2007;Sundgot-Borgen, 1994), and from 0 to 28% in male athletes (Torstveit & Sundgot-Borgen, 2005b). Studies aiming to investigate the prevalence of DE or EDs among female athletes in which all or a large proportion of the subjects included are from aquatic disciplines are shown in Table 5; there are no such studies involving male athletes from aquatic sports.…”

Disordered eating behavior (DE) and eating disorders (EDs) are of great concern because of their associations with physical and mental health risks and, in the case of athletes, impaired performance. The syndrome originally known as the Female Athlete Triad, which focused on the interaction of energy availability, reproductive function, and bone health in female athletes, has recently been expanded to recognize that Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) has a broader range of negative effects on body systems with functional impairments in both male and female athletes. Athletes in leanness-demanding sports have an increased risk for RED-S and for developing EDs/DE. Special risk factors in aquatic sports related to weight and body composition management include the wearing of skimpy and tight-fitting bathing suits, and in the case of diving and synchronized swimming, the involvement of subjective judgments of performance. The reported prevalence of DE and EDs in athletic populations, including athletes from aquatic sports, ranges from 18 to 45% in female athletes and from 0 to 28% in male athletes. To prevent EDs, aquatic athletes should practice healthy eating behavior at all periods of development pathway, and coaches and members of the athletes' health care team should be able to recognize early symptoms indicating risk for energy deficiency, DE, and EDs. Coaches and leaders must accept that DE/EDs can be a problem in aquatic disciplines and that openness regarding this challenge is important.

“…In addition to the work of Coelho et al [17] and Hoch et al [19] as described above, Reed et al [22] and Da Costa et al [23] measured energy availability among female athletes. In a sample of 77 adolescent swimmers (age 11-19 years), Da Costa and colleagues found 16 (20.8 %) to have daily energy availability below 45 kcal/kg of lean body mass, and 6.5 % had daily energy availability below 30 kcal/kg of lean body mass [23]. In a rare longitudinal study, Reed et al [22] Because most studies available on the prevalence of the Triad (and components of the Triad) were published prior to the 2007 ACSM definition update, many more studies report the prevalence of disordered eating than energy availability.…”

“…The prevalence of subclinical disordered eating among all exercising women included in the studies reviewed ranged from 2.9 to 60 % [4,16]. The prevalence of clinical disordered eating, such having an EAT-26 score of ≥20, ranged from 7.1 to 89.2 % [16,17,23]. Estimates of the prevalence of clinical eating disorders ranged from 0.9 to 40.8 % for bulimia nervosa and from 0 to 48.0 % for anorexia nervosa [16,24].…”
