Referred use of alimentary supplement for mountain runners
Abstract
Mountain runners have an increased need for caloric intake during the running, a fact that leads the athletes to choose to use supplementation when they need to catch their energy. This study aimed to find out the supplement most used by mountain runners. The sample consisted of 97 Brazilian mountain runners male and female. Males presented a mean age of 41.3 ± 10.2 years old and women 39.3 ± 8.6 years old. The data were collected through a questionnaire composed of 34 closed questions, and the answers presented in the format of mean, standard deviation, and amplitude. Absolute and relative frequencies were used and chi-square test to verify different proportions in the answers was also required, assuming 5% as a level of significance. The results showed that supplements most commonly used by male mountain runners were protein at 38.1% followed by carbohydrate and isotonic 36.1%. Women reported a preference for proteins 20.6% followed by isotonic 36.1% and Branched Chain Amino (BCAAs) 15.5%. Regarding the reasons for use of supplements 16.5% of men had as objective to supply food deficiency, 34.2% improved performance, and 17,5% increase strength and muscle mass. Concerning the people who encouraged the consumption of supplementation, 33% of men and 22,7% of woman had inventiveness of a nutritionist. In conclusion, it is possible to suggest that mountain runners make use of supplements and that they are prescribed by nutritionists.
