Evaluarea fiziologo-igienică a alimentației elevelor la etapa incipientă a pregătirii sportive [Articol]

Abstract

The objectives of the work: determining the content of macro- and micronutrients in the daily food ration of 11-12-year-old sports girls and their analysis in relation to the hygienic norm of age, sex and sports specialization. The research included 12 female students who practice freestyle wrestling from the Republican Boarding High School with a Sports Profile in the municipality of Chisinau. The analysis of the daily food ration of the athletes was carried out according to the calculation method. It was established that the content of caloric nutrients (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) in the daily food ration is higher than the physiological norm, accepted for sportswomen practicing freestyle wrestling. The optimal ratio between proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates is not observed, and the energy value of the food ration exceeds the physiological norm for age, sex, and sports specialization. During the transition period of the year (winter-spring) in the daily diet of athletes there is an acute shortage of raw materials - fresh fruits and vegetables, greens, and the amounts of milk, eggs and fresh cow’s cheese, meat do not fall within the established norms. An exaggerated daily consumption of cream, cheese, vegetable oil and peas, bread and bakery products, confectionery products, coffee and cocoa is attested, which requires streamlining the nutrition of athletes, diversifying and individualizing the menu.
