Resumo: ObjectiveThe objective of the present study was to identify the methods used to rapidly lose weight before a competition and determine the prevalence of such methods among elite judo athletes and the magnitude of weight loss. MethodsThis sample consisted of 28 male elite judo athletes from the city of São Paulo. Their body weight and the weight category in which they competed were recorded. Of these, 19 were interviewed by a nutritionist to investigate weight and diet histories. The study took place between August 2002 and June 2004. ResultsThe results showed that 85.7% of the sample was, on average, 4.2% (standard deviation=2.6) above the limit of their weight categories. Among those who were interviewed, 89.5% reported that they usually kept the body weight above the limit, and 100% reported that their weight was, at least once, above this limit. Generally, they weighed 3.7% (standard deviation=1.8) more than the weight limit of their category, sometimes as much as 7.8% (standard deviation=3%) above the limit. The most frequently used methods to lose weight rapidly were dehydration, decrease in energy intake and decreased consumption of sweets and fats. ConclusionMost of the judo athletes assessed present body weight above the limit of their categories and they lose weight quickly before competitions, using many methods, some of which are detrimental to their health and performance. Measures to discourage such practices should be studied and implemented in order to prevent more severe complications.

MétodosFizeram parte do estudo 28 judocas de elite do sexo masculino, da cidade de São Paulo. Os atletas tiveram aferido o seu peso corporal, e relataram em que categorias de peso competiam. Desses, 19 foram entrevistados por nutricionista, para a investigação de questões relativas ao histórico de peso e de dietas. O estudo foi conduzido entre agosto de 2002 e junho de 2004. ResultadosOs resultados mostraram que 85,7% da amostra estava, em média, 4,2% (desvio-padrão=2,6) acima do limite de peso da categoria. Entre os que foram entrevistados, 89,5% relataram que, habitualmente, mantinham o peso acima do máximo da categoria, e 100% já pesaram mais do que tal limite. De modo geral, eles pesavam 3,7% (desvio-padrão=1,8) a mais do que o peso da categoria, e chegaram a atingir 7,8% (desvio-padrão=3%) acima do limite. Os métodos de redução rápida de peso mais utilizados foram: desidratação, diminuição da ingestão energética e diminuição da ingestão de doces e gorduras. ConclusãoGrande parte dos judocas avaliados apresenta peso corporal acima do limite de suas categorias e o reduz significativamente antes das competições, por meio de diversos métodos, muitos dos quais são prejudiciais à saúde e ao desempenho. Medidas para desencorajar tais práticas devem ser estudadas e implementadas como forma de prevenir conseqüênias mais graves.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-09-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9687Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 20 No. 3 (2007): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 20 Núm. 3 (2007): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 20 n. 3 (2007): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9687/7033Copyright (c) 2023 Guilherme Giannini ARTIOLI, Fernanda Baeza SCAGLIUSI, Viviane Ozores POLACOW, Bruno GUALANO, Antonio Herbert LANCHA JUNIORhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Giannini ARTIOLI, GuilhermeBaeza SCAGLIUSI, Fernanda Ozores POLACOW, Viviane GUALANO, Bruno LANCHA JUNIOR, Antonio Herbert2023-10-05T18:44:21Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9687Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-10-05T18:44:21Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
