Objective: To assess the dietary profile of practice exercises frequenting gyms. Methods: The sample included 337 individuals male and female. We used recall was 24 hours. To assess the level of physical activity were used Sapaf software. Nutritional status was measured by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Results and discussion: There was a predominance of male subjects, white, unmarried, with incomplete higher education, family income of more than 3 to 10 minimum wages, and who attend the academy in a period longer than 12 months. The average showed age of 27.98 ± 10.99, BMI 23.99 ± 3.73. In relation to food consumption, the averages were: VCT 2618.13 ± 1244.20 kcal, PTN 18.42% ± 6.14, 56.55 ± 9.74% CHO, 24.87 ± 8.02% LPD. The average total caloric expenditure (Ideal Weight) was 2789.51 ± 621.92. Nutritional status, 69% are eutrophic, 22% were overweight, 6% are obese and 3% underweight. According to CC, 83.7% are without risk of obesity associated with metabolic changes. The comparison of means by gender showed that men consumed higher amounts of protein (p = 0.012) when compared to women. Completion: the study suggests the involvement of dieticians for nutrition guidelines that are made to bring about balanced diet and safe in order to maximize the effects of physical activity. Key words: Exercise, Academies, Nutrition.

The study aims to verify whether the consumption of aqueous extract of Ilex paraguariensis influences on performance in aerobic exercise. Through an experimental protocol, the subjects were divided into two groups, one experimental group (EG) consumed the aqueous extract of Ilex paraguariensis and the other control group (CG) consumed pure water. The two groups performed three tests of continuous run of 3200 meters, the first and second without the consumption of the extract and the third with the administration of the extract for the experimental group and the control group for water and their results were compared. There was a mean reduction of 9.6 seconds for the first test and 9.3 seconds relative to the second, with degrees of considerable significance (p ˂ 0.01) in both cases, the group that used the extract aqueous (GE). In the control group (CG), there was an average increase of 2.8 seconds for the first test (p = 0.3) and a mean reduction of 0.1 seconds with the second test (p = 0, 9). We verified a reduction in execution time in test run 3200 meters in the group that consumed the aqueous extract of Ilex paraguariensis (GE). Despite being statistically significant (p 0.01), the decreases observed were mild, with an average of 9 seconds compared to the test without ingestion of the extract. Key words: Ilex paraguariensis, Aerobic Exercise, Ergogenics.

The goal of this study was to check if the physical exercise practice has influence on nutritional matters. It’s a descriptive, transversal study, with 60 individuals, being the sample divided into two female groups: active group (GA) and sedentary group (GS), with 30 individuals each, 18 to 30-years old. The questionnaire of Food and Nutrition Vigilance System’s food frequency was used, as well as the questionnaire regarding the level of physical activity by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), reduced format. Descriptive statistics was used (frequency, average and standard deviation). Results revealed that 78% of GS referred to consume daily the least healthy food, such as fritter, built-ins, cookies, sweets and gasified drinks, while 52% out of GA do not consume this kind of food. As for healthy food consumption such as vegetables, dry fruit and raw salads, it was observed that only 30% of GS consume these foods only twice a week, while 70% of GA consumes them daily. By these results it can be concluded that regular practice of physical activity leads to a bigger concern with food quality to be consumed, however it may not lead to worries on amount of food consumption.

The regular practice of physical exercises, linked to healthy eating, is increasingly associated with better quality of life, taking people to gyms for bodybuilding by promoting reduction of body fat and muscle hypertrophy. The research aimed to analyze the relationship of nutritional guidance to strength exercise on muscular hypertrophy of 30 bodybuilders of a gym in the city of Belford Roxo-RJ. An anthropometric assessment was conducted for three consecutive months and the evaluation of eating habits was through a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) applied at the beginning and end of the study. The sample was equally divided into the Group A (Control) and Group B (Experimental) which received the guidelines. The IMC revealed that 46.67% of Group A and 66.67% of Group B were eutrophic. In the latest assessment, the TSF of both groups presented 93.33% of eutrophy. In Group B, the percentage of AC with risk for malnutrition was changed to eutrophy and the percentage of individuals with muscular developed remained 26.67% and in the group A there was a decrease. The Group B began to consume more fiber and unsaturated lipids daily. The consumption of carbohydrates and proteins of the groups proved to be relevant. In Group B, the reduced consumption of saturated fats and the exercise may have influenced the reduction of TSF and BMI in this group. It was concluded that healthy eating acquired through an adequate nutritional orientation was essential to the positive changes in anthropometry of the individuals.

The methods of struggle have body mass as a criterion of division athletes. Due to this categorization, many athletes choose to reduce body mass in an attempt to tackle smaller and weaker athletes. Fighters practice these techniques reducing weight believing that their chances of success in competitions increase. However, this rapid reduction in weight can impair performance and put at risk the health of the athlete. The aim of this study was to review the practices of weight reduction on fighters and their implications on the health and performance of the athlete. According to the criteria, we found 10 articles. Prevalence was found in studies of the sport judo, year of publication was 2002 to 2012 and had a minimum sample of 12 individuals and a maximum of up to 822 individuals. It is observed that many methods are used for weight loss and they are practiced without proper guidance, bringing risks to health and the performance of the fighters. We conclude the need for monitoring these athletes by professionals and the professional nutritionist will be seen as an integral part of the team and critical to the development of the athlete.
