The weight loss of male and female rowers, with particular emphasis on lightweight athletes
Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2019, Vol 35, Issue 1
Abstract
Background. Weight-reducing diet is often used by the athletes, for example, to fit a proper body weight category. Usually it is done inappropriately, which can affect the athlete’s performance and health. The purpose of the study is to collect information on a diet of Polish rowers. Material and methods. The survey was conducted from December 2016 to September 2017. We asked competitors of 6 sports clubs. The data were collected using an online survey to evaluate food frequency and rowers’ nutrition knowledge. Also, the verified effectiveness of weight loss measures was taken. Results. Of the 17 respondents, only one person had never used a weight-reducing diet. Typically, the period of reduced energy supply was 1 to 4 weeks. Most athletes (59%) after competition returned to their output weight and 35% of the athletes exceeded. Only 26% of the respondents consulted a dietitian. In 88% of athletes, sport results improved or did not change during the hypocaloric diet. Consumption of individual products varied depending on the type of diet used. All rowers used supplementation. Conclusions. The vast majority of athletes have been on a weight loss diet. Frequent consumption of different foods varies depending on the preparation of the food. There is a need to conduct research with a standardized frequency of intake and to appear more credible.<br/><br/>
