Anthropometric and dietetic evaluation in jiu-jitsu practitioners in an academy of São Bernardo do Campo-SP
Abstract
Jiu-jitsu is a martial art, divided by weight categories, which aims at balancing disputes with athletes of different weights, strength and speed, based on blows made by the fighters' joints. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometry and to analyze the food intake frequency of jiu-jitsu practitioners from a São Bernardo do Campo academy. A food frequency questionnaire was applied, considering the importance of checking if their diet is adequate or inadequate, and jointly assess the fat percentage of the assessed by anthropometry. The sample consisted of 25 male athletes, aged between 23 and 47 years of age, practitioners of the sport at Fight Gym Group. Weight, height, abdominal bending, thigh bending and pectoral fold were measured to determine the percentage of fat. The mean percentage of body fat was 17.40% (sd ± 5.65%), indicating mostly good physical conditioning. Regarding the result of food frequency, 84% (n = 21) of the athletes reported consuming carbohydrate and protein sources daily, 56% (n = 4) fats, 76% (n = 19) fruits and vegetables, and 80% (N = 20) a variety of supplements, all without indication or nutritional monitoring. It was observed that even if they were classified with good physical conditioning by the percentage of fat, the athletes perform an inadequate food intake, requiring an individualized nutritional monitoring to avoid possible damages to the health and performance caused by poor nutrition.
