Abstract(s)
Os suplementos alimentares são géneros alimentícios destinados a
complementar um regime alimentar normal e que constituem fontes concentradas de
nutrientes. Objetivos: Avaliar o conhecimento e o consumo de suplementos
alimentares em pessoas que frequentam ginásios. Material e métodos: Foi realizado
um estudo transversal, observacional, quantitativo e analítico, numa amostra de 278
frequentadores de ginásios, para aferir o consumo e o conhecimento sobre
suplementação. Para se avaliar o conhecimento sobre suplementos alimentares foi
utilizado o questionário de Karbownik et al (2019). Resultados: A maioria da amostra
(72,7%), afirmou não consumir suplementos alimentares, mas quem os consumia teve
como principal preferência o consumo de proteínas (69,9%) e creatina (49,3%). O
consumo de suplementos foi mais elevado no sexo masculino, em jovens e que
treinavam por mais horas. Quanto ao conhecimento, obteve-se uma média de 12
pontos, numa escala de 0-17, revelando-se bom. Conclusão: Embora se tenha
verificado um baixo consumo de suplementos pelos elementos da amostra, assim como
um bom conhecimento sobre suplementos alimentares, considera-se pertinente
aumentar a literacia sobre o seu consumo.
Food supplements are foodstuffs intended to complement a normal diet and are concentrated sources of nutrients. Objectives: To assess the knowledge and consumption of food supplements among gym-goers. Material and methods: Was done a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative and analytical study, in a sample of 278 gym-goers, to assess the consumption and knowledge about supplementation. For evaluation of Knowledge about dietary supplements was used the questionnaire by Karbownik et al (2019). Results: The majority of the sample (72.7%) stated that they did not consume dietary supplements, but those who did consume them had as main preference the consumption of protein (69.9%) and creatine (49.3%). The consumption of supplementation was higher in males, in young people and those who trained for more hours. Regarding knowledge, it was obtained an average of 12 points, on a scale from 0-17, proving to be good. Conclusion: The consumption of supplementation was higher in males, in young people and those who trained for more hours. Although there was a low consumption of supplements by the sample elements, and a good knowledge about dietary supplements, it is important to increase literacy about their consumption.
