| Sumario: | Currently 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. |
