Prevalência do uso de suplementos alimentares por praticantes de musculação nas academias de Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ, Brasil

Abstract

The use of food supplements has become more and more popular among those who workout regularly to keep fit. This increase has motivated the study in the gyms of Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ. Food supplemention is indicated when the organism needs some sort of food complement; However, what we have actually noticed is that dietary supplements have been used without any necessity or guidance from a professional. We have noticed that the prevalence of the use of alimentary supplements for the studied group is very significant which confirms the need for more information and studies on the consequences of indiscriminate use of food supplements.
