| Resumo: | In the past ten years, physical exercise has become a major part of the lifestyle of a growing number of people. Workout gyms have filled up worldwide. This has contributed to the growth in the market for food supplements (FS), whether those supplements be for improving appearance or health. The objective of this research paper is to look into the consumption of food supplements by young bodybuilding athletes in gyms located in Estância Turística de Ouro Preto do Oeste - Rondônia. 178 male and female athletes, from different social classes, were evaluated and filled out a questionnaire. The athletes are members of 5 different gyms in the city. According to the questionnaires filled out by the athletes, 33.15% currently use food supplements, 44.30% male and 24.24% female. The three most consumed products among the athletes are hyper proteins (34.83%), branch chain amino acids (BCAA) (32.58%), and creatine (21.91%). The athletes' main goal by consuming food supplements is to build muscle mass (46.63%) and improve their physical performance (38.20%). Most participants in the research (73.59%) reported non-prescribed use of food supplements by a qualified professional. Such being the case, the presence of qualified professionals to prescribe these products in gyms where they are commercialized, is of uttermost importance. Such professionals could inform athletes on the health risks related to misuse of the drugs. |
