The body assessment is a strategy to analyze the nutritional status and to enable better training prescription. Futsal is an intensive sport which requires high energy expenditure, supplied by a balanced diet in calories and nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and body composition of soccer players in Moita Bonita, State of Sergipe, through anthropometric data collected. The studied group is composed of 11 athletes, evaluated in the period between competitions. The ages of all males range between 19 and 39 years. Nutritional status was determined according to body mass index, and to obtain body composition skinfolds, collected in triceps, biceps, sub-scapular and supra- iliac, and waist circumference were used. When the body mass index was measured, the results demonstrated that 72 % of the studied athletes were above the normal range. As regards the waist circumference results, the vast majority - 72 %, had normal parameters, regarding the percentage of fat, the average score of the athletes analyzed (20 %) was above the standards described in the literature for this group. In conclusion, nutritional status and body composition of studied athletes are above the established standards. Thus, this accentuates the importance of a diet plan suited to the sport that meets the specific needs of each player. Key words: Futsal, Anthropometry, Nutrition.

Low-calorie diets are effective for weight loss and fat, but can cause loss of lean mass and consequently reduction in metabolic rates. Physical training alone, without dietary control, may cause modest weight loss, while in association with diets, facilitates adherence to diet control and ensures greater success in maintaining lean body mass and decrease in fat mass. The aim of this study was to analyze the intervention of a nutrition program and fitness in individuals with overweight and obesity in a fitness São Paulo. This is an intervention study with the duration of 12 weeks. The sample consisted in 7 adults of both genders. We compared measures as weight at the beginning and end of the program, as was observed that all members had weight loss as well as reduction in waist, abdomen and hip. As a conclusion the strategies implemented in this study were effective because managed through a continuous nutritional education for those involved that it is necessary to combine the practice of physical activity and a balanced diet, thus allowing significant changes in the lifestyle that reflected in results and positive health benefits. Key words: Obesity, Nutrition, Physical activity, Anthropometry.

Introduction: The American Football is on the rise in Brazil, and therefore, there are not many studies regarding hydration of the athletes in the sport. Players generally perform aerobic activities but there are moments of anaerobic activities. The uniform of this modality can aggravate the thermal stress of the player and is characterized as an activity that requires a systematic control of hydration. Objective: evaluate the water loss and the degree of knowledge on hydration of american football players. Materials and Methods: investigated 23 male athletes, between 18 and 38 years, of an amateur club in Curitiba. A survey was applied from an adaptation of Brito et al., (2006), containing 13 objective questions and estimated the percentage of weight loss and urinary density in a training day. Were performed the U of Mann-Whitney (p<0,05) and multiple linear regression Forward (p<0,10) tests. Results: through linear regression test, was discovered a direct association between the degree of knowledge and weight loss. The average weight loss was less than 2%. Conclusion: we observed a low level of knowledge on the part of the athletes on hydration being directly associated with weight loss. Key words: dehydration, weight change, urine density

The fiber intake is an alternative to weight control. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of pectin, present in passion fruit peel, on weight change and glucose. Have been used 35 male Wistar rats divided into four groups. The Control group received water and food (n=09); The passionfruit group received food plus passion fruit peel (n=09); The hyper caloric group received cafeteria diet (n=08); The hyper caloric + passion fruit group received caloric diet increased with passion fruit peel (n=09), over 21 days. The weight of the animals was measured once a week and blood glucose was measured in the first week and at the end of the experiment. The difference in weight was analyzed with ANOVA, a criterion, followed by Bonferroni’s test; was adopted significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Was observed reduction in weight gain in the passion fruit group in comparison with the control group and increased weight gain in the hyper caloric and hyper caloric + passion fruit groups, between the beginning of the experiment and the 1st week of treatment. Between the 2nd and 3rd week of treatment, the hyper caloric group had an increase in body weight compared with the other groups. The weight gain in the passion fruit group and hyper caloric + passion fruit group did not differ from the control group. The glycemia (mg/dl) at the end of the experiment was higher in hyper caloric and hyper caloric + passion fruit group than in the control and passion fruit groups. We conclude that the passion fruit peel flour associated with hyper caloric diet reduced weight gain, but insufficient to reduce glycemia. Key words: Obesity, Pectin, Glycemia, Supplementation.

A firefighter attends from bureaucratic office works to extreme actions firefighting, where their physical and motor skills are required to end without the possibility of failure; firefighters must remain always well - prepared physically, a diagnosis of inadequate nutritional status affect their job performance. This study was characterized as a descriptive research with quantitative data analysis. For anthropometric assessment of nutritional status and dietary survey methods were used. 71 firefighters, male, mean age 30.49 ± 7.47 years, 49.3 % (N 35) represented by firefighters soldiers and 50.7 % (N 36) students in training were evaluated. Mean BMI was classified as well-nourished no significant difference between the groups. Mean % fat above desired for both groups, with more statistically significant for the group of active firefighters soldiers. However this is not localized fat in the abdominal region classified as low risk for heart disease. In dietary recall was adequate consumption of macronutrients, and inadequate consumption of cholesterol and sodium, showing statistical difference for lipids, cholesterol and sódio. The importance and determine the nutritional profile of fire fighters soldiers lies in the fact of the existence of a relationship between nutritional status and physical performance deles. This population is at risk for developing chronic diseases, since the combination of anthropometric and dietary survey is appropriate to outline the nutritional diagnosis, realizing the importance of working with interventions and nutrition education for the public.

The supplementation of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is being used as a way to induce blood alkalosis and increase the buffering chemical capacity. The literature shows a need for studies that use supplemental NaHCO3 at high intensities lasting more than 5 minutes. This study compares the effect of supplementation of NaHCO3 in speed corresponding to maximum working speed (vMAX) and the respiratory compensation point (vRCP) during an incremental treadmill test. We evaluate six recreationally active males (22.00 ± 2.00 years, 81.80 ± 9.90 kg, 1.81 ± 0.06 m and BMI 25 ± 2 kg/m2) and previously trained. The volunteers presented to the laboratory on two different days. They ingested 0.1 g/kg body weight of NaHCO3 (Group B) or placebo with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) (Group P) and performed an incremental test on a treadmill with 1km/h increments every 2 minutes until volitional exhaustion maximum. There was no significant difference in the velocities corresponding to vPCR and vMAX with supplementation of NaHCO3 and in any respiratory parameter. The ingestion of NaHCO3 at a concentration of 0.1 g/kg body weight does not improve performance in an incremental test on a treadmill. Key words: Exercise, Performance, Anaerobic threshold, Blood alkalosis.

The quest for the perfect body aesthetically and lack of a healthy body has led people to use improperly, substances that may potentiate the shortest time possible to your wishes. The aim of this work was to verify the consumption of dietary supplements and check the self-perception of body builders in many academies of Palmeira das Missões – state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The instrument used was a questionnaire containing 17 multiple-choice and descriptive questions regarding the personal profile of who attend the academies. The questionnaire also contained a tool for assessment of body image perception. We evaluated 56 bodybuilders of both sexes, 77% (n = 43) men and 23% (n = 13) women. About the self-perception, it was found that, among men 70% (n = 30) showed dissatisfaction with their image, while in females this figure was 77% (n = 10). Sources of prescription dietary supplements are not done by a trained professional. For men, the greatest source of prescription supplements was recommended by friends (41.86%), the gym teacher (51.16%) and self indication (23.25%). For women, the prescription was taken by gym teacher (76.92%), followed by the sellers (15.38%) and friends (15.38%).The results presented here reveal that the consumption of dietary supplements by body builders are increasingly evident, stimulated by market appeal and not professionally trained. Key words: supplementation, self-image, physical exercise.

Introduction: Dietary supplements have been around for decades, for people who could not meet their nutritional needs only in the food. In Brazil, there was a misuse of dietary supplements and drugs that have grown up in environments of physical exercise, and the trend is in the gyms and sports associations. Objective: We evaluated the use of supplements and anabolic substances in 51 physically active in a fitness Natal-RN. Materials and methods: In structured questionnaire used in most protein supplements, energy accelerators, multivitamins, frequency of use, indication, and other substances used, who indicated the type and location of sales of supplements. Results: Only 51 of the participants were male (n) 11 (21.57%) used the protein supplement BCAA and female (n) 5 (9.80%) Whey protein consumed. The use of the energy consumed the same supplement, but different numbers males consumed coffee (n) 11 (21.57%) and female (n) 8 (15.69%). With multivitamins, males consumed around (n) 9 (17.65%) and female, (n) 6 (11.76%) of omega. With accelerators males used linseed oil (n) 3 (5.88%) and the female thermogenic liquid (n) 5 (9.80%). Of these, 58.82% respondents had nutritional counseling against 39.22% were followed from other sources not recommended. Of the total, the annual frequency of physical activity for men was (n) 16 (31.37%) and women (n) 17 (33.33%). Discussion: The data also indicate concern about the frequency of physical activity and the adoption of practices in the consumption of dietary supplementation. Conclusion: And certain attitude should be applied by professionals who are qualified to conduct nutrition education.

Mixed Martial Arts (M.M.A.) is a sport that combines various types of fight modes in a single combat rule. It requires heavy training and attention to all details of the mixed martial arts in order for the athlete to be 100% fit and precise in the day of the fight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methods and strategies used in M.M.A. for weigh loss in the athlete’s physiological system, as well as to evaluate their performance. A questionnaire was given to the M.M.A. athletes for them to answer what they practice in order to accomplish rapid body mass loss. The program, Microsoft Excel 2007, was utilized for tab graphics. A total of 8 male athletes, from the ages of 21 to 35, responded to the questionnaire. The method used for weight loss by using sauna and antiperspirant clothes was 90% and the restriction of carbohydrate was 80% and liquid was 40%, being that this restriction and weight loss occurs in the pre-competitive week. These strategies cause harmful effects to the M.M.A. athletes, such as hormonal imbalance, electrolyte imbalance, cardiovascular system alterations, decreased renal function, impaired mental status in the long term, as well as mood changes. An Inadequate diet and short recovery time can lower the athlete's anaerobic performance, which prevails in M.M.A. This research can teach M.M.A athletes that through gradual changes and some nutritional rules, they can obtain a solution to impede rapid weight loss.
