“…All of these results are consistent with the body compositions reflected in other studies [60,62,63] and correlate with the evaluated somatotypes [63]. In this regard, similar results to those obtained in the present study regarding BMI, fat percentage, and fat-free mass have been shown previously [9,36,37]. The low fat mass percentage commonly observed in gymnasts has not been associated with health issues [63].…”

Adolescent high-performance gymnasts are considered to be at risk for low energy intake. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of implementing a nutritional education program during the sports season on the nutritional status and nutrition knowledge of the female artistic gymnasts from the Technification Center of the Balearic Islands (n = 24; age, 14.1 ± 2.3 years). A quasi-experimental intervention design was applied, which consisted of implementing a nutritional education program of seven sessions given during eight months. Measurements of nutritional intake, nutrition knowledge, and anthropometric parameters, as well as hematological and biochemical blood parameters, were performed. Gymnasts reported low energy and carbohydrate intakes, with significant increases during the study (energy, 28.3 ± 1.4 vs. 32.8 ± 1.4 kcal kg−1, p = 0.015, carbohydrate 3.20 ± 0.20 vs. 3.92 ± 0.22 g kg−1, p = 0.004). The average values for parameters such as hemoglobin, ferritin, lipoprotein, and vitamin C and E levels in the plasma were within normal ranges. Low intakes of most of the food groups were observed during the study, with similar initial and final values. Nutrition knowledge did not change as a result of the study (28.0 ± 1.7 vs. 31.1 ± 1.3, p = 0.185). In conclusion, gymnasts reported low energy intakes. However, blood markers and most of the anthropometrical parameters measured were within normal ranges. The nutrition education program implemented did not produce significant improvements in the dietary habits or nutritional knowledge of gymnasts.

“…Recent studies have investigated the prevalence of low EA in various sports [8,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Prevalence ranges from 22% to 58% (Table 1).…”

Low Energy Availability in Athletes 2020: An Updated Narrative Review of Prevalence, Risk, Within-Day Energy Balance, Knowledge, and Impact on Sports Performance

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Low energy availability (EA) underpins the female and male athlete triad and relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). The condition arises when insufficient calories are consumed to support exercise energy expenditure, resulting in compromised physiological processes, such as menstrual irregularities in active females. The health concerns associated with longstanding low EA include menstrual/libido, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular dysfunction and compromised bone health, all of which can contribute to impaired sporting performance. This narrative review provides an update of our previous review on the prevalence and risk of low EA, within-day energy deficiency, and the potential impact of low EA on performance. The methods to assess EA remain a challenge and contribute to the methodological difficulties in identifying “true” low EA. Screening female athletic groups using a validated screening tool such as the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) has shown promise in identifying endurance athletes at risk of low EA. Knowledge of RED-S and its potential implications for performance is low among coaches and athletes alike. Development of sport and gender-specific screening tools to identify adolescent and senior athletes in different sports at risk of RED-S is warranted. Education initiatives are required to raise awareness among coaches and athletes of the importance of appropriate dietary strategies to ensure that sufficient calories are consumed to support training.

“…En cuanto a las variables analizadas en los artículos incorporados a esta revisión, el 100% de los estudios analizan la composición corporal, mediante medidas antropométricas (peso, talla e IMC), y algunos incluyen perímetro de cintura (13,23) y pliegues cutáneos (6) . Además de que en todos los estudios la variable principal a evaluar fue los hábitos nutricionales, en 5 artículos (25%) se incluyeron otras variables: comportamientos y estereotipos San Mauro et al (6) , actividad física Dallas et al (10) , entrenamiento, sueño, historia médica y ginecológica Silva et al (24) , estima corporal Vernetta et al (13) y somatotipo Poblado-Alcalá et al (19) .…”

El objetivo fue realizar una revisión sistemática de los hábitos nutricionales en practicantes de deportes gimnásticos. Se revisaron las bases de datos WOS, Scopus, Pubdmed, Sport Discuss y Google Scholar, entre los años 2000-2020, siguiendo los principios de la declaración PRISMA. La selección fue realizada por dos investigadores en dos etapas (cribado y aplicación de criterios de elegibilidad). Se registraron edad, sexo, tamaño muestral, calidad metodológica, país, variables, instrumento y resultados en 15 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. La mayoría de los estudios resaltan que los hábitos nutricionales entre gimnastas son peores en el género femenino que masculino, sin cumplir en general con las recomendaciones para esta población. Los instrumentos más utilizados fueron el recordatorio dietético de 7 días 33,33% y el cuestionario de calidad de vida mediterránea y registro de 3 días, ambos 20%. Se concluye que los gimnastas en general, no tienen buenos hábitos alimentarios, consumiendo dietas desequilibradas. Es necesario desarrollar programas para promover hábitos nutricionales saludables en esta población.
