“…The age and sex-specific Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) of essential minerals and vitamins [24] was used as reference for expressing the individual daily intake of a nutrient into the respective probability of nutrient adequacy (PA) [25]. The requirement for iron was based on 12 % bioavailability and that for zinc on medium bioavailability [24].…”

Objectives: To define optimum food and nutrient profiling in gender-specific and age group-specific variant regression models. Setting: 481 subjects of both sexes (18.4 years old) from Giza urban were set. Design: Dietary assessment used the 24-h dietary recall data to calculate the estimated energy and (24) nutrients eaten by each individual. Four indices-food variety diversity score, healthy eating index (HEI), mean probability of nutrients adequacy (MPA) and nutrient rich food (NRF9.3) index score were used for assessing the profiling of the diet. Results: A total of 163 individual food items were consumed by the participants within the 24-h dietary recall with an average daily intake of (6.6) different food varieties. Grains were the top contributors of energy and 10 macro and micro nutrients followed by the meat group. Based on the MPA data, the mean acceptable intake (AI) of dietary calcium (32.9%) and vitamin C (30%) were limiting in the diet. The diet profiling consumed by the teenagers aged 14.8 years was inferior compared to that consumed by subjects aging 23.9 years. Linear regression analyses were conducted between the 4 indices as the dependent variable and all possible combinations of 16 nutrients of interest as independent variables. NRF9.3 was the optimum nutrient index and correlated negatively with markers of abdominal obesity. Conclusion: Implementation of nutrition intervention program was directed to youths to include age appropriate good healthy foods to decrease the risk of nutrient deficiencies.

“…Despite these factors, authors have demonstrated that there may be under or overestimation of results found by them (19,20) . Based on this reality, even if the calculations of the energetic need estimation (ENI) in the present study point to be inadequate, the street runners still present caloric cost below the expected values for running or marathon runners practitioners, estimated between 3.000kcal and 5,000kcal (6,21) . When caloric intake was considered according to body weight, the group of runners presented mean intake of 28kcal/kg of weight/day, much below the DSBME (22) guidelines, between 30 and 50kcal/kg of body weight/day according to the kind of exercise practiced.…”

“…Many factors should be considered for a suitable nutritional planning, among these, energetic adjustment of the diet, distribution of macronutrients and suitable supply of vitamins and minerals (3) . Studies (4)(5)(6) have presented data concerning the anthropometric and/or nutritional profile of elite athletes whose practiced modalities involve running (e.g. marathon, track and field, endurance sports, etc); however, little is known about these characteristics in street running practitioners or the so-called 'recreational' athletes.…”

The anthropometric and/or dietary profile of elite runners has been studied; however, little is known about the characteristics of recreational street runners. This study was aimed to characterize the nutritional profile of recreational runners from a sports club in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, who were referred to a nutritional clinic of a local private college. The sample study was composed of 19 athletes, aged between 28 and 53 years. The diagnosis of the runners' nutritional status was obtained by assessment of their energy and macronutrients -carbohydrates (CHO), lipids (LIP), and proteins (PTN) consumption-through the 24-hour dietary recall (R24h), as well as analysis of their anthropometric profile. The results obtained from the dietary evaluation showed that according to the recommendations proposed by the DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes), the distribution of energy among the macronutrients in both men and women was adequate: 48.1±9.2% (CHO), 29.6±7.2% (LIP) and 22.3±4.96% (PTN). However, when considering energy consumption in g/kg of body weight, the intake of CHO was low (3.54±1.45g/kg/d) and of PTN was high (1.7±0.57 g/kg/d) for this type of recreational exercise. Regarding total energy consumption, 89.5% of runners presented energy intake below the recommended values, resulting in daily caloric deficiency. Concerning the anthropometric evaluation, the average percentage of body fat (%G) for men and women was not statistically different and was considered adequate based on their age. Waist circumference (WC) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) of the studied group showed normal results and do not represent increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. In conclusion, the study indicates that although the athletes showed adequate caloric distribution of macronutrients, it was still not sufficient to meet the energy requirements of their modality, suggesting hence that continuous nutritional guidance is needed.

“…Thus, it was not mentioned that the energetic ingestion was simply below the recommendations, rather, that when it was compared to the values suggested by the DRIs (1) , Guideline of the Brazilian Society of Sports Medicine (2) and other authors (3,4) , the energetic ingestion was kept below the optimum levels, which could reflect on the general performance as a whole. Therefore, it is interesting to stress that the presented results should be better investigated, especially concerning the evaluation of macronutrients involving recreational street runners.…”

Nutrition Concepts for Elite Distance Runners Based on Macronutrient and Energy Expenditure

Abstract: Nutrition concepts must be differentiated for EDR according to metabolic and anthropometric characteristics of the runners and their special training emphases.
