Abstract
Introduction: Gym goers have specific characteristics which differ them from other groups. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the anthropometric profile, to analyze the food consumption, and the body self-perception associated with the use of supplements. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study that has analyzed 127 individuals. The anthropometric data have been observed through the body mass index and the body fat percentage. The body self-perception has been analyzed through close questions and silhouettes scales. The regular practice of physical exercises and the use of supplements have been verified. The dietary intake has verified the adequacy of macronutrients and micronutrients –vitamins A, C and E, calcium, iron, selenium and zinc, calculated through the Dietwin program. For statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences program (SPSS), version 18.0, have been used, considering significant values of p<0.05. Results: The results have observed eutrophic anthropometric profile in 66.4% of the sample. In percentage of body fat was observed prevalence of acceptable average parameters. In the analysis of satisfaction with physical appearance, 60.6 % reported being satisfied with their body image. When verifying the scale of silhouettes, 23% of individuals see themselves eutrophic over the current look with desire for smaller silhouette, in which was observed prevalence of supplementation. Thecaloric intake was found to be low-carbohydrate, high-protein and low-fat. The intake of micronutrients was observed below the recommended vitamins (A, C and E), and calcium. Conclusion: The anthropometric profile showed a higher prevalence of normal weight. The interviewed have a low-carbohydrate, high-protein and low-fat diet, with significant inadequacy for macronutrients and micronutrients. Supplement use was found in greater proportion in individuals dissatisfied with their body image, with desire forsmaller silhouette.
