Introduction: Eating habits are one of the underlying aspects in rhythmic gymnastics as a sport with an aesthetic component. Objective: To evaluate adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) in girls and adolescents who perform rhythmic gymnastics, and the relationship of this adherence with Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. Methods: A prospective, descriptive comparative cross-sectional study with the participation of 221 gymnasts aged between 7 and 17 years. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was analyzed using the KIDMED test. The waist circumference, height and weight of each gymnast were measured and the BMI calculated. Results: 41.63%, 52.94% and 5.43% of the total sample exhibited high, medium and low adherence, respectively, to the Mediterranean diet. The Mann-Whitney U test indicated significant differences in the rate of adherence to the Mediterranean diet between the two age groups, U = 5007.0, p = .016, r = .162. The adolescent gymnasts had greater adherence than the younger gymnasts. The total sample showed a positive correlation of the rate of adherence with weight (Rho = .143, p = .034), BMI (Rho = .152, p = .024) and waist circumference (Rho = .180, p = .007). Conclusions: The eating habits of adolescent gymnasts with regard to the Mediterranean diet are healthier than those of the younger gymnasts. All participants had normal BMI values. The KIDMED values of the total sample were related to weight and BMI. The high percentages of younger gymnasts with mean adherence to the MD evidenced the need to approximate their eating habits with Mediterranean standards. Level of evidence II; Comparative diagnostic study.

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue desarrollar y validar un test que permita evaluar la coordinación óculo manual y agilidad en gimnastas de rítmica. Un panel de expertos se responsabilizó de la selección de las tareas que conformaron la composición inicial del test. Una vez constituido y validado mediante la opinión de expertos de forma unánime, el test se aplicó a una muestra de 60 gimnastas de 12 a 18 años (Media Edad= 13,76 ±1,53; Talla= 1,54 ± 0,065 y Peso= 44,78 ± 6,55). La fiabilidad del test mediante el cálculo de la consistencia interna a través de Alfa de Cronbach fue de .885 siendo el coeficiente de correlación del testretest de .799 Se concluye que el test es un instrumento válido y fiable para medir la coordinación en gimnastas.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to develop and validate a test that allows the evaluation of manual eye coordination and agility in rhythmic gymnasts. A panel of experts was responsible for the selection of the tasks that formed the initial composition of the test. Once constituted and validated by the opinion of the experts in a unanimous way, the test was applied to a sample of 60 gymnasts from 12 to 18 years old (Average Age = 13.76 ± 1.53, Size = 1.54 ± 0.065) and Weight = 44.78 ± 6.55). The reliability of the test for the calculation of the internal consistency through Cronbach's alpha was .885 with the correlation coefficient of the test-retest of .799 It is concluded that the test is a valid and reliable instrument to measure the coordination in gymnasts.
