Abstract

Background: Bodybuilding athletes in Capricorn district of Limpopo province adhere to various hydration practices. However, the extend at which these athletes adhere to the fluid intake and hydration guidelines during sport engagement is unknown. Research objectives: This study aimed to determine the fluid intake and hydration practices of bodybuilders in Capricorn District of Limpopo province and adherence to the guidelines thereof. Furthermore, to investigate the association of fluid intake with the demography of athletes. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was used to obtain 66 part-time bodybuilders in the Capricorn district. Demographic information and hydration practices of the athletes were collected during training days. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the athletes' fluid intake and hydration practices. Pearson's correlation test was used to associate hydration practices with the athletes' educational status and source of hydration information. Athletes were 24 (± 4.2) years old, engaged as bodybuilders for 2.3 (± 1.5) years, training once a day (61%), for 2.2 hours (males) and 2.0 hours (females). Athletes used pure water before (51%), during (47%) and after training (57%). Social media (47%) and the internet (25%) were used as sources of hydration information. There was no significant correlation between hydration practices and demographics. Conclusion: Fluid intake of athletes was suboptimal. Athletes consumed mostly pure water before, during, and after their training sessions. Therefore, athletes’ fluid intake (amount) and hydration strategies (type and timing of fluid) did not adhere (mostly suboptimal to) sports nutrition standards. This poses a risk for dehydration during sport.

Abstract

Introduction Adults in Vhembe district participate in fitness exercise programs for optimal health. However, the nutritional profiles of these participants remain unknown. Aim: To assess the socio-demography, calculate BMI and measure WC of adults participating in fitness exercise programs around Vhembe district, Limpopo Province. Method: A cross–sectional study design was conducted to assess socio-demographic and anthropometric profiles of 112 adults participating in fitness exercise programs around Vhembe district, Limpopo Province. Ethical clearance was obtained from TREC and written consent by the participants. Socio-demographic profile included, for example, age, education status, duration and frequency of training. Anthropometry included weight and height to calculate BMI, and waist circumference. Data were analyzed using SPSS (v29). The Chi-square test, with a p-value of <0.05, was used to determine the association among variables. Results: Males were aged 36.3±9.3 and females 32.1±8.7 years; training three times per week for two hours in aerobics and bodybuilding programs. Most participants had bachelor’s degrees (males, 35.5%; females, 29.8%) and diplomas (males, 32.3%; females, 27.7%). Unemployment was higher (57.4%) among females compared to males (38.5%). Aerobic participants were overweight (males, 27.8±4.7; females 28.8±4.8 kg/m²) whereas those in bodybuilding were obese (31.0±16.9, males and 37.5±0.0 kg/m², females). Participants in both programs had optimal waist circumferences (<102 cm, males and <88 cm, females). Anthropometry was associated (p<0.05) to demography among the aerobic exercise participants. Conclusion: Participants trained once per day, three times a week for two hours. The majority had higher education qualifications, however, unemployed. Participants were overweight with acceptable waist circumference values

Abstract

Bodybuilders follow various diets, with some posing health risks. The study aimed to determine the baseline information on serum lipids and micronutrients, implement meal plans and evaluate the impact on these profiles of bodybuilders. An intervention study was conducted with 26 affiliated bodybuilders. The study was divided into baseline, intervention and post-intervention phases. In the baseline phase, anthropometry, serum lipid and certain micronutrient profiles were measured. The intervention phase was informed by baseline results, with athletes randomly assigned either to the experimental (n=14) or control (n=12) group. The experimental group received designed meal plans for three months. The post-intervention phase repeated measurements of the same variables in the baseline. Independent t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to determine the impact of meal plans between baseline and intervention variables. Total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) serum levels were within acceptable standards, with a mean TC of 4.2 mmol/L for the experimental group and 3.8 mmol/L for the control group, and TG of 0.8 mmol/L for the experimental group and 0.7 mmol/L for the control group. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were within normal ranges for both groups. Dietary micronutrient intake and serum levels were mostly within the recommended daily allowance (RDA) and tolerable upper intake level (UL) in both groups. The nutrition intervention maintained bodybuilders' serum lipid and micronutrient profiles within acceptable standards.
