Introdução: A adoção de uma alimentação saudável por parte das pessoas com deficiências melhora a sua qualidade de vida e saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os comportamentos alimentares dos atletas praticantes de desporto adaptado.
Métodos: O consumo alimentar foi estimado através da aplicação de dois questionários: um dos quais pretendeu recolher informação referente a dados sobre a prática desportiva, dados clínicos, dados de comportamento alimentar e dados antropométricos. Em seguida aplicou-se um questionário de frequência alimentar, validado para a população portuguesa. A conversão dos alimentos em nutrientes efetuou-se com recurso ao programa Access. O tratamento estatístico foi realizado no programa informático IBM SPSS Statistics.
Resultados: O consumo energético médio da amostra foi de 3286,2 ± 1296,8 kcal. O contributo de ingestão média percentual de hidratos de carbono, proteínas, lípidos foi de 45,8%, 18,8% e 37,2%, respetivamente. A vitamina D, vitamina K, vitamina A e iodo foram os micronutrientes que se encontravam abaixo das recomendações. O consumo de açúcar foi elevado, o de sal foi superior ao recomendado e o de fibras estava dentro das recomendações.
Conclusões: Os atletas apresentaram uma ingestão nutricional inadequada, devido essencialmente à baixa ingestão de hidratos de carbono e elevada ingestão de proteínas e de lípidos, uma carência de micronutrientes (vitamina D, vitamina K, vitamina A e iodo) e um consumo excessivo de sal e de açúcar. Incluir no desporto adaptado o apoio nutricional é um passo importante para a saúde e o rendimento desportivo destes atletas.
Introduction: The adoption of a healthy eating by people with disabilities improves their quality of life and health. The study aims to evaluate the eating behaviors of athletes practicing adapted sports. Methods: The eating behaviors were estimated by the application of two questionnaires: one applied information about sport practice, clinics data, eating behaviors data e anthropometric data. The second questionnaire was a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, validated to the Portuguese population. Foods were converted to nutrients by Acess and statistical analysis was made by the IBM SPSS Statistics. Results The average energy intake was 3286.2 ± 1296.8 kcal. The average contribution of carbohydrates, protein and total fat to the total daily energetic intake was 45.8%, 18.8% and 37.2%. Vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin A and iodine were the micronutrients with below the recommendations. The sugar intake was high, the intake of salt was higher than recommended and the fiber consumption was according to the recommendations. Conclusions: Athletes generally had inadequate nutritional intakes due mainly to low carbohydrate intake and high protein and lipid intakes; a lack of micronutrients (vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin A and iodine) and excessive salt and sugar. Including nutritional support in the adapted sport is an important step to the athletes health and athletic performance.
