Introdução: Na atualidade existe uma preocupação crescente em aliar ao planeamento da época desportiva, para além do plano de treinos um plano alimentar que se adeque às necessidades e objetivos desportivos dos atletas.
A nutrição tem-se revelado fundamental para um bom desempenho nas competições, sendo cada vez mais prioridade para atletas e treinadores e todos os demais envolvidos estarem sensibilizados para esta temática.
Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o papel da nutrição em atletas que competem em competições de alto rendimento, nomeadamente, nos Jogos Olímpicos.
Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica na base de dados PubMed e ScienceDirect, entre dezembro de 2022 e setembro de 2023, utilizando como palavras-chave os termos: “food” OR “nutrition” AND “olympic”. A pesquisa originou 963 artigos, tendo sido selecionados 21 artigos.
Resultados: A nutrição quando bem aplicada e seguida com rigor por parte do atleta, consegue fornecer a energia e as quantidades de macronutrientes necessários para uma boa manutenção da saúde e performance desportiva.
As necessidades energéticas devem ser avaliadas atleta a atleta, visto que cada modalidade apresenta ritmos e intensidades diferentes.
As atletas femininas apresentam características próprias que as diferem do atleta masculino, como por exemplo, as flutuações hormonais relacionadas ao ciclo menstrual que alteram as necessidades energéticas, salientando-se o papel dos hidratos de carbono no equilíbrio hormonal, fornecendo energia para o metabolismo aeróbio a anaeróbio e, por outro lado, a taxa de troca respiratória mais baixa, que faz com que necessitem de maior teor de gordura na dieta.
Conclusão: Um atleta Olímpico que siga um plano nutricional de acordo com as suas necessidades consegue melhorar o seu rendimento e desempenho desportivo.
Introduction: Currently, there is a growing concern in combining the planning of the sports season, in addition to the training plan, with a food plan that suits athletes' nutritional needs and sporting goals. Nutrition has proven to be fundamental for good performance in competitions, making it increasingly a priority for athletes, coaches and everyone else involved in. Objective: To make a brief literature review on the role of nutrition in athletes in high-performance competitions, namely the Olympic Games. Methods: A bibliographical search was carried out in the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases, between December 2022 and September 2023, using the terms: “food” OR “nutrition” AND “Olympic” as keywords. The research resulted in 963 articles, with 21 articles selected. Results: Nutrition, when well applied and followed rigorously by the athlete can provide the adequate energy and nutrients for a good general health maintenance and athletic performance. Energy needs must be assessed athlete by athlete as each individual has different nutritional needs, biological rhythms and sport demands. Female athletes have their own characteristics that differ from male athletes, such as hormonal fluctuations related to the menstrual cycle that alter their energy needs, highlighting the role of carbohydrates in hormonal balance, providing energy for aerobic metabolism. anaerobic and, on the other hand, a lower respiratory exchange rate, requiring a higher fat content through diet. Conclusion: An Olympic athlete, who follows an individualized nutritional plan according to her/his needs can improve athletic performance and reach high achivements.
