Resumo: Current evidences show benefits of a vegetarian diet for human health. However, when a stricter vegetariandiet is adopted, health risks are confirmed. Vegetarian diets are characterized by a high intake of carbohydrates,fibers, magnesium, potassium, folate and antioxidants and may result in a low intake of amino acids, essentialfatty acids, calcium, zinc, iron and cobalamin. Experimental human researches indicate that both vegetariansand non-vegetarians present similar aerobic capacity. Regarding muscular strength and power, researches are scarce but the existent ones do not report significant differences. Cardiovascular risk situations have beenconfirmed, due to the possible hyperhomocysteinemia given the low ingestion of cobalamin. Vegetarian dietsdo not contain creatine, resulting in lower muscle reserves of this nutrient among this population. Hormonaland metabolic changes are a possibility in response to vegetarian diets, as well as low levels of testosteroneand androstenedione. The immune function does not seem to be affected. Thus, a vegetarian diet is compatiblewith daily exercising as long as it is well planned in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Contudo, a partir da adoção de práticas vegetarianas mais restritivas, confirmam-se os riscos à saúde. As dietas vegetarianas são caracterizadas pelo elevado consumo de carboidratos, fibras, magnésio, potássio, folato e antioxidantes, podendo apresentar deficiências em aminoácidos e ácidos graxos essenciais, cálcio, zinco, ferro e cobalamina. Pesquisas experimentais em humanos indicam que vegetarianos e não-vegetarianos apresentam capacidade aeróbica semelhante. Em relação ao desempenho em atividades de força e potência muscular, as pesquisas são escassas, mas as existentes não apontam diferenças significativas. Situações de risco cardiovascular têm sido confirmadas, devido ao provável quadro de hiperhomocisteinemia, em decorrência da baixa ingestão de cobalamina. As dietas vegetarianas são isentas de creatina, o que resulta em estoques musculares mais baixos nessa população. Possivelmente ocorrem alterações hormonais e metabólicas em resposta às dietas vegetarianas, como baixos níveis de testosterona e androstenediona. A função imune parece não ser prejudicada. Dessa forma, a prática de dietas vegetarianas apresenta-se compatível com a prática esportiva cotidiana, desde que bem planejada para evitar deficiências nutricionais.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9760Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 19 No. 4 (2006): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 19 Núm. 4 (2006): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 19 n. 4 (2006): 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/9760/7100Copyright (c) 2023 Lucas Guimarães FERREIRA, Roberto Carlos BURINI, Adriano Fortes MAIAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Guimarães FERREIRA, LucasBURINI, Roberto Carlos Fortes MAIA, Adriano2023-09-19T12:25:17Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9760Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-09-19T12:25:17Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
