Analysis of perception, body nutritional knowledge and satisfaction among women who practice physical activity
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception, body satisfaction and nutritional knowledge of women who practice bodybuilding in a gym from Guarapuava-Pr. Anthropometric assessment was performed by measurement weight, height and waist circumference (CC), subsequently calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI) and percentage of adequacy of current weight. A socioeconomic questionnaire was applied, Scale of Nine silhouettes and Nutritional Knowledge Questionnaire too. Statistical analysis divided the participants into two groups, normal weight and overweight. Descriptive statistics, Student's t test and Chi-square test, and Pearson correlation was used. Normal weight women had a lower mean age, higher education and work more outside the home than overweight. The mean BMI was 22.14 ± 1.76 kg / m² and CC 72.14 ± 5.45 cm in eutrophic, and mean BMI of 29.58 ± 3.69 kg / m², and CC 91.19 ± 9,28cm in overweight. There was a correlation between age and BMI and age and CC. Eutrophic (65,63%) chose silhouettes that best meets the average BMI group. Overweight women showed greater satisfaction with body image (95,24%). There was a positive correlation between BMI and body dissatisfaction and body dissatisfaction and CC. There was no statistical difference in relation to groups of nutritional knowledge
