Resumen

El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar el nivel de nutrición, control de peso y conocimiento de riesgo de control de peso, y la práctica de regulación dietética y de peso de gimnasta femenina de diferentes niveles de competencia (regional, nacional e internacional). La muestra fue de 39 atletas femeninas de gimnasia rítmica y estética de los diferentes niveles de competencia (15 gimnastas de nivel regional, 12 gimnastas de nivel nacional y 12 gimnastas de nivel internacional). Se utilizó un cuestionario autoadministrado para medir el conocimiento de la nutrición, el control de peso y el conocimiento del riesgo de control de peso y la práctica dietética. La gimnasta nacional e internacional tenía un mayor conocimiento de nutrición y control de peso que la gimnasta regional. Las gimnastas nacionales e internacionales se saltan más comidas y reducen significativamente la ingesta de frutas, verduras y carne que las gimnastas regionales. Los gimnastas de nivel regional, nacional e internacional no tienen una percepción adecuada sobre sus conocimientos y su riesgo de controlar el peso en sus cuerpos. Esta falta de percepción adecuada hizo que se recomendara monitorear la percepción de estas poblaciones y brindarles capacitación educativa específica.
