Anthropometric profile, food consumption and use of ergogenics and dehydration of Rugby players
Abstract
Introduction: The Rugby team aims to make the highest score during two matches of 40 minutes. Being a high intensity sport of physical exertion generates nutritional wasting, which can lead to health problems, dehydration and decreased performance. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric profile, food intake and the use of ergogenic resources by the athletes, as well as water loss of Rugby players. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out with Rugby players from Caxias do Sul. The anthropometric profile (weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference and skinfolds), food intake, ergogenic resources and water loss after a training game were evaluated. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results: The sample consisted of 30 adult players with a mean age of 27 years. The anthropometric evaluation showed that the athletes are overweight, but the percentage of body fat is only high in males, while the women have the average waist circumference considered as a risk for metabolic complications. The food intake of the players, in terms of energy value and distribution of macronutrients and micronutrients, fell short of the recommended, except for protein, fat and sodium. All athletes use ergogenic resources. The water loss in this population was insignificant. Conclusions: Although the team has medical support, it is extremely important to carry out periodic evaluations and nutritional monitoring with a qualified professional, specialized in sports nutrition, to reach the recommended food standards and, consequently, the physical performance and sports.
