Objectivo: Dado o maior gasto energético nos atletas, estes apresentam necessidades
energéticas e nutricionais superiores à população em geral. No entanto, os atletas para- e
tetraplégicos têm necessidades energéticas inferiores aos seus pares atletas. Aferir o
conhecimento dos atletas sobre alimentação, hidratação e suplementação nas diferentes
modalidades de Desporto Adaptado, bem como estudar o seu perfil antropométrico.
Métodos: 41 praticantes de desporto adaptado foram avaliados, a partir da aplicação de
um questionário sobre alimentação, hidratação, suplementação e perfil antropométrico.
Resultados: Dos 41 atletas, 37 eram do sexo masculino (90.2%) e 4 do sexo feminino
(9.8%), sendo que os atletas apresentam as seguintes deficiências: deficiência intelectual
(65.9%); Paralisia Cerebral (9.8%), Distrofia Muscular de Becker (7,3%), Distrofia
Muscular Duchenne (2.4%), Síndrome de Down (2.4%), Deficiência intelectual e
Síndrome de Down (7.3%), Espinha Bífida (2.4%) e Deficiência Visual (2.4%). Foram
estudadas cinco modalidades diferentes: futebol adaptado (43.9%), basquetebol
adaptado (7.3%), boccia adaptado (12.2%), natação adaptada (31.7%) e ténis de mesa
adaptado (4.9%). As atletas do sexo feminino são as únicas que se encontram com peso
normoponderal, enquanto o sexo masculino de ambas as idades apresenta excesso de
peso. O perímetro da cinta encontra-se em ambos os géneros dentro dos valores
recomendados. O lado dominante possui menos quantidade de massa gorda que o lado
não dominante. Na generalidade os atletas dormem as horas suficientes. O número de
refeições é no geral cumprido pela maioria dos atletas. A toma de suplementos foi
pouco utilizada pelos atletas.
Conclusão: Os hábitos alimentares de atletas praticantes de desporto adaptado têm sido
pouco explorados, especialmente no que se refere à alimentação e à composição
corporal, o que pode condicionar a saúde e o desempenho desportivo destes atletas.
Objective: Given the higher energy expenditure in athletes, these present higher energy and nutritional needs than the general population. However, para and quadriplegic athletes have lower energy needs than their peer athletes. To gauge athletes' knowledge about feeding, hydration and supplementation in the different modalities of Adapted Sport, as well as to study their anthropometric profile. Methods: 41 adapted sport practitioners were evaluated using a questionnaire on feeding, hydration, supplementation and anthropometric profile. Results: Of the 41 athletes, 37 were male (90.2%) and 4 female (9.8%). Athletes had the following deficiencies: intellectual deficiency (65.9%); Cerebral Palsy (9.8%), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (7.3%), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (2.4%), Down's Syndrome (2.4%), intellectual deficiency and Down's Syndrome (7.3%), Spina Bifida (2,4) and Visual Impairment (2.4%). Five different modalities were studied: adapted soccer (43.9%), adapted basketball (7.3%), adapted boccia (12.2%), adapted swimming (31.7%) and adapted table tennis (4.9%). Female athletes are the only ones with normoponderal weight, while males of both ages are overweight. The band perimeter is in both genders within the recommended values. The dominant side has less fat mass than the non-dominant side. In general the athletes sleep enough hours. The number of meals is generally met by most athletes. Supplement intake was little used by athletes. Conclusion: The dietary habits of athletes who practice adapted sports have been poorly explored, especially in relation to diet and body composition, which can affect the health and athletic performance of these athletes.
