Resumo
O surf é um esporte que vem se popularizando cada vez mais mundialmente e será uma das modalidades competitivas em Tóquio 2021. Há vários estudos indicando a ampla utilização de suplementos com fins de melhora da performance atlética, no entanto, a literatura traz poucas informações sobre o uso de suplementos entre surfistas. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o perfil e razões de consumo de suplementos alimentares por surfistas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, no qual foi aplicado um questionário adaptado sobre hábitos e percepções acerca da suplementação, contendo 31 questões, a surfistas adultos do litoral de São Paulo. Os resultados mostram que, dos 19 surfistas entrevistados, 68,4% eram do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 24,7 (DP= 5,4) anos. Dentre os entrevistados, 6 não utilizavam nenhum tipo de suplemento. Entre os que reportaram o uso (n=13), os suplementos mais citados foram os proteicos e os suplementos de aminoácidos. Não houve diferença no consumo de suplementos entre os surfistas que treinavam há mais ou menos anos e os que treinam mais ou menos horas por semana. Também não foi identificado associação entre o uso de suplementos e as variáveis sexo, escolaridade e ter orientação profissional. O nutricionista esportivo e o técnico/preparador físico apareceram como importantes fontes de informações sobre suplementos e também as fontes mais utilizadas pelos atletas. Os resultados sugerem que o consumo de suplementos entre surfistas é superior ao achado em outros estudos com surfistas, sendo que esse consumo parece ser orientado principalmente por nutricionistas.
Surfing is a sport that has become increasingly popular worldwide and will be one of the competitive disciplines in Tokyo 2021. There are several studies indicating the wide use of supplements for the purpose of improving athletic performance; however, the literature brings little information about the use of supplements among surfers. This study aimed to identify the profile and reasons for consumption of dietary supplements by surfers. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional study, in which an adapted questionnaire on habits and perceptions about supplementation, containing 31 questions, was applied to adult surfers from the coast of São Paulo. The results show that, of the 19 surfers interviewed, 68,4% were male, with an average age of 24,7 (SD= 5,4) years. Among the interviewees, 6 did not use any type of supplement. Among those who reported use (n = 13), the most cited supplements were protein and amino acid supplements. There was no difference in the consumption of supplements between surfers who had been training for more or less years and those who train more or less hours per week. There was also no association between the use of supplements and the variables sexo, education and having professional guidance. Sports nutritionists and the coaches / physical trainerers appeared as important sources of information about supplements and also as the most consulted sources by athletes. The results suggest that the intake of supplements among surfers is higher than that found in other studies with surfers, and this intake seems to be guided mainly by nutritionists
