Descrição
Atualmente no Brasil vem ocorrendo uma diminuição nas taxas de desnutrição e um aumento na prevalência de doenças crônicas não transmissÃveis (DCNT). Isso, devido a mudanças no padrão alimentar da população, caracterizado por um maior consumo de alimentos ricos em açúcares e gorduras, e uma diminuição de exercÃcios fÃsicos. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi comparar os resultados antropométricos e alimentares de adultos praticantes de atividade fÃsica, em perÃodo inicial e final do acompanhamento nutricional e em relação a um grupo controle que não realizou acompanhamento nutricional. Trata-se de um estudo de intervenção prospectivo, realizado com indivÃduos adultos de ambos os sexos, os quais foram separados em grupo caso (aqueles que realizavam acompanhamento nutricional mais atividade fÃsica) e grupo controle (aqueles que realizavam somente atividade fÃsica). Os dados antropométricos e alimentares foram avaliados em perÃodo inicial e após dois meses de intervenção. Participaram do estudo um total de 10 indivÃduos, sendo 70% mulheres, com média de idade de 36,4 ± 14,64 anos para o grupo caso e 33 ± 11,34 anos para o grupo controle. O grupo caso apresentou valores diferentes e significativos para as variáveis CC, classificação da CC, aumento do GET e aumento da ingestão alimentar após o perÃodo de intervenção. O grupo controle apresentou diferença apenas no aumento de GET (p<0,01). Conclui-se que, o acompanhamento nutricional juntamente com o programa de atividade fÃsica, promoveu melhora em algumas variáveis antropométricas e na ingestão alimentar dos participantes. ABSTRACT Effects of physical activity practice and nutritional accompanying for adults: a case-control studyCurrently in Brazil, there has been a decrease in malnutrition rates and an increase in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (DCNT). This is due to changes in the food pattern of the population, which is characterized by a higher consumption of foods that are rich in sugars and fats, and a decrease in physical exercise. The objective of this research was to compare the anthropometric and dietary results of adults practicing physical exercise, in the initial and final period of nutritional monitoring. This is a prospective intervention study, which was conducted with adult individuals of both sexes, who were separated into a case group (those who performed nutritional monitoring plus physical activity) and control group (those who performed physical activity). Anthropometric and dietary data were evaluated in the initial period and after two months of intervention. A total of 10 individuals participated, being 70% female with a mean age of 36.4 ± 14.64 years for the case group and 33 ± 11.34 years for the control group. The case group presented different and significant values for CC, CC, GET, and increased food intake after the intervention period. The control group presented difference only in the GET increase (p <0.01). It was concluded that nutritional follow-up together with the physical activity program promoted improvement in some anthropometric variables and food intake of participants.
