The challenge of controlling body composition in athletes

We published in Portuguese the first exploratory review of dietary recommendations for athletes developed by expert groups. The strengths of this study include the large number of articles with reviewed recommendations, the inclusion of several international expert groups, and the wide variety of athlete populations covered. The comprehensive search strategy, encompassing important databases without date or sport restrictions, allowed for a complete mapping of the evolution of recommendations over time and across different sports.

Among the most relevant findings of the study was the conclusion that "adopting a participatory and sport-specific approach in the regular development of guidelines, incorporating behavioral theories, including multidisciplinary team involvement and consulting athletes, can result in athlete-centered recommendations, more likely to achieve body mass and composition goals, protecting the athlete's health, well-being, and performance."
