Distribution of macro and micronutrients in the diet of under24 american football players in preseason
Macro e Micronutrientes na dieta de Jogadores Sub 24 de Futebol Americano
Abstract
Due to the physiological demands necessary to play American Football, athletes in this modality need different energy inputs in terms of macro and micronutrients. In this line, the present study aimed to investigate the nutritional profile of American Football Under 24 players, in the pre-season. Sixteen athletes with a mean age of 21.2 ±1.84 years participated in the sample. Dietary assessment was performed using a three-day food record, filled in by the athletes themselves, and diet calculation was performed using the Nutrimed software. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed a normal distribution of the sample and the Chi-square test for unequal proportional distributions was performed to verify the differences in frequencies and percentages of athletes for macro and micronutrient intake. Protein intake showed values 95% above (p=0.0001), carbohydrates 90% below (p=0.0001) and lipids 70% above the recommended values. Vitamin B1 intake showed values 95% above (p=0.0001), potassium 65% below (p=0.0001), calcium 90% below (p=0.0001) and zinc 95% above (p=0.0001) of the recommended values. The dietary results showed in the pre-season a hyper protein, hypoglycemic and hyperlipidic intake and inadequate for micronutrients compared to the total energy needs recommended for athletes.
