Resumo: ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and establish the profile of the consumption of dietary supplements among Brazilian athletes. MethodsA total of 182 athletes of both genders from 20 different sports participated in this study. The athletes answered a questionnaire containing sociodemographic and sports-related questions and were interviewed about the consumption of dietary supplements. ResultsForty seven percent of athletes reported having consumed at least one type of dietary supplement and 38% said they use more than three different types of supplements concurrently. Whey protein was the most commonlyconsumed supplement, and the most frequently mentioned reason for its consumption was performance improvement. The main source of information was coaches, and individual sport athletes were the greatest consumers and the most likely to seek dietary supplement. ConclusionApproximately half of the participants used dietary supplements, which on most occasions were recommended by coaches. The consumption profile also revealed multiple supplementation practice and showed that nutrition education is essential for this specific population.

MétodosParticiparam do estudo 182 atletas de ambos os sexos de 20 diferentes modalidades esportivas. Os atletas responderam a um questionário contendo informações sociodemográficas e esportivas e foram entrevistados quanto ao consumo de suplementos. ResultadosQuarenta e sete porcento dos atletas relataram ter consumido pelo menos um tipo de suplemento e 38% utilizavam mais de três tipos de suplementos concomitantemente. O suplemento mais consumido foi o whey protein e a razão mais citada para o consumo foi a melhora no desempenho físico. A maior fonte de informação foi o treinador, sendo os atletas de modalidades individuais os maiores consumidores e também os mais propensos a buscarem essa fonte. ConclusãoQuase metade da amostra fazia uso de suplementos, os quais eram indicados, predominantemente, pelos treinadores. O perfil de consumo também revelou a prática da poli suplementação e mostra que a educação nutricional é essencial para essa população específica.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-03-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7842Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2017): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 30 n. 2 (2017): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/7842/5368Copyright (c) 2023 Hellen Clair Garcez NABUCO, Vanessa Behrends RODRIGUES, Wander Miguel de BARROS, Fabricio César de Paula RAVAGNANI, Mariano Martínez ESPINOSA, Christianne de Faria Coelho RAVAGNANIhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessClair Garcez NABUCO, Hellen Behrends RODRIGUES, Vanessa de BARROS, Wander Miguel RAVAGNANI, Fabricio César de PaulaMartínez ESPINOSA, Mariano de Faria Coelho RAVAGNANI, Christianne 2023-03-16T13:38:55Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7842Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-03-16T13:38:55Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
