State of hydration and body composition of flag american football players
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the state of hydration and body composition of American football players. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with American flag football players, of both sexes from a Guarulhos club. The body composition was evaluated through the measurement of weight, height, skinfolds and body circumferences. The assessment of water loss was made by calculating the sweating rate and percentage of body weight loss. Results: 23 players were evaluated, with a mean age of 23 years. It was observed that seven athletes had a much increased risk for cardiovascular diseases, being also classified as overweight by BMI. However, most players had a low percentage of body fat. In relation to water loss, an athlete was classified as slightly dehydrated; there was a mean of 0.49% weight loss percentage and 1.33 ml / min sweat rate. Most players had symptoms of dehydration such as intense thirst, headache, cramps, and a feeling of loss of strength. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a need for individualized nutritional monitoring of the team to ensure a good state of hydration and improvement of nutritional status, thus benefiting the training, competition and health of individuals.
