Abstract

The dance requires the dancers a balanced diet that meets both your everyday needs as those required by the activities and allowing good physical recovery and improved performance. The study aims to assess the adequacy of energy intake andmacronutrients distribution of the diet of dancers from Cia de Dança Sesiminas in relation to their daily needs. The sample consisted of 10 dancers in which they conducted anthropometric measurements such as weight, height and skinfold for BMI and percentage of body fat and food intake was assessed by recording 72 hours. The majority of the sample was classified as eutrophic according to WHO. The body fat percentage of the group varied between very good and reasonable, with the highest percentage among women. The energy consumption was lower than most individual needs and carbohydrate consumption also lower than the recommendations, the same happening to the protein intake. The group has just lipid intake within recommended levels, but a more detailed evaluation of the quality of them is required. This result confirms, as in other studies, the need for nutritional intervention for this population, and further studies about real energy needs of dancers.
