Abstract

The objective of the present study was to perform the nutritional assessment and lifestyle profile of instructors from academies and personal trainers of Itaqui-RS. This is a descriptive study. The data collection was performed through a questionnaire with sociodemographic and working day questions; evaluation of food consumption through a 24-hour recall, Body Mass Index (BMI) and abdominal circumference (CA); the Individual Lifestyle Profile (PEVI) was evaluated through a validated questionnaire. Twenty-four subjects participated in the study, and 79.2% were men and 20.8% women, with a mean age of 36 years. Regarding the level of schooling, 45.8% of the individuals have a postgraduate degree. The mean BMI for men and women was 26.83 kg / m2 and 24.45 kg / m2 respectively, while the mean BMI for men was 92.87 cm and for women 76.64 cm. The average daily consumption was 1953.00 Kcal, while the overall average for energy requirements was 2206.07 Kcal. It was observed that 70% of the sample consume normoglicidic, normoprotein and normolipid diet and that the daily intake of proteins by the evaluated individuals presented a general average of 1.16 / kg of weight (g). Regarding PEVI, it was observed that the sample had a positive lifestyle for most of the components, and the physical activity component was indicated as the major positive lifestyle factor (72.2%). Through this study it was observed that the trainers and personal trainers evaluated presented satisfactory energy consumption and positive lifestyle indicators. It is important to carry out new studies that evaluate this type of individuals, since there are few data in the scientific literature.
