Abstract (english)
Aim: Physical activity (PA) is an important factor in maintaining health, and combined with a balanced diet, it forms the basis of a healthy lifestyle. A diet not aligned with proper nutritional guidelines and the intensity of PA can affect the body's functioning, hinder recovery after training, and increase the risk of injury. This study examines the PA among recreational athletes and explores their eating habits. Methods: An observational study was conducted using Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) minutes/week to determine the level of PA. Dietary data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Results: The study involved 62 respondents, categorized into groups of moderately, intensively, and very intensively active recreational athletes and despite recognizing the importance of PA recreational athletes exhibited inadequate dietary habits. Higher intake of fats, cholesterol, and saturated fatty acids was observed, as well as lower intake of carbohydrates than recommended. Most vitamins and some mineral intakes exceeded recommendations. Significant differences between groups were noted only for folate and saturated fatty acid intake. Conclusion: Nutritional education by professional nutritionists is essential for recreational athletes to correct improper eating habits. The findings of this study can be applied in similar socioeconomic-cultural regions.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj: Tjelesna aktivnost važan je čimbenik očuvanja zdravlja, a u kombinaciji s uravnoteženom prehranom čini temelj zdravog načina života. Prehrana koja nije usklađena s pravilnim prehrambenim smjernicama i intenzitetom tjelesne aktivnosti može utjecati na funkcioniranje tijela, otežati oporavak nakon treninga i povećati rizik od ozljeda. Ova studija ispituje tjelesnu aktivnost kod rekreativnih sportaša i istražuje njihove prehrambene navike. Metode: Za određivanje tjelesne aktivnosti korišten je MET (eng. Metabolic Equivalent Task) minuta/tjedan. Podaci o prehrambenim navikama prikupljeni su pomoću upitnika o učestalosti unosa hrane (engl. Food frequency questionnaire, FFQ). Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 62 ispitanika, kategoriziranih u skupine umjereno, intenzivno i vrlo intenzivno aktivnih rekreativaca. Unatoč prepoznavanju važnosti tjelesne aktivnosti rekreativci su pokazali neadekvatne prehrambene navike. Uočen je veći unos masti, kolesterola i zasićenih masnih kiselina, kao i manji unos ugljikohidrata od preporučenog. Unosi većine vitamina i nekih minerala premašili su preporučene. Značajne razlike između skupina primijećene su samo za unos folata i zasićenih masnih kiselina. Zaključak: Edukacija o pravilnoj prehrani, pod vodstvom nutricionista, neophodna je kako bi rekreativci ispravili svoje nepravilne prehrambene navike. Nalazi ove studije mogu se primjeniti u sličnim socioekonomsko – kulturološkim regijama.
