Abstract(s)
Este estudo analisa o comportamento de atletas quanto ao consumo de suplementos alimentares, as razões para o consumo e a informação detida pelos atletas sobre essas substâncias.
Foram tratadas as respostas a um questionário submetido a cinquenta e quatro atletas, praticantes de futebol e de basquetebol, profissionais e amadores.
Os resultados revelaram que 77,8% dos inquiridos consomem regularmente suplementos alimentares, sendo mais frequente esta suplementação nos atletas de futebol. A proteína foi o suplemento mais utilizado (38,7% das respostas). E a melhoria do desempenho desportivo foi relatado em 29,1% das respostas, a qual foi a mais frequente. A fonte de aquisição de informação privilegiada foram os nutricionistas (34,2%) e os médicos (19,0%), mas a informação proveniente de amigos, familiares e outras foram referenciadas por quase um quarto dos atletas.
Conclui-se que o consumo destas substâncias é uma prática comum, de uma forma acentuadamente informada, embora existam indicadores que apontam na necessidade de qualificar cientificamente a informação detida pelos atletas.
This study analyzes the behavior of athletes regarding the consumption of food supplements, as well as the reasons for its consumption and the information held by the athletes on these substances. The answers were treated to a survey submitted to fifty four athletes, soccer and basketball players, professional and amateurs. The results revealed that 77.8% of the surveyed regularly consume dietary supplements, showing its use to be more frequent in soccer players. The protein was the most commonly used supplement (38.7% of the responses). In addition, an improvement of sport performances was reported in 29.1% of the surveyed, which was the most frequent. The privileged sources of information were nutritionists (34.2%) and doctors (19.0%); it should be noted that the information provided by friends, family and others was also mentioned by nearly a quarter of the athletes. It is concluded that the use of these substances is a common practice, a sharply informed manner, although there are indicators that point the need to scientifically qualify the information held by the athletes.
