The Bolsa Atleta program is the biggest athletes sponsorship program, however no study evaluated the dietary intake these athletes. This study was divided into two stages. The first aimed to compare the eating habits and the dietary intake of male and female athletes, while the second evaluated the effect of a nutrition intervention on body composition, nutritional intake, nutrition knowledge and dietary habits of athletes. Eighty athletes participated in the first stage of the study, being 47 male and 33 female. A 24-hour recall was applied to evaluate athletes dietary intake. Both groups showed a high inadequacy in caloric intake. Men were more inadequate in protein and saturated fat intake, while women showed a higher percentage of inadequacy in monounsaturated fat. Both groups showed a high inadequacy in vitamin A, E, D and calcium intake. Men were more inadequate in vitamin C and sodium, while women had a higher inadequacy in vitamin B12, B3, magnesium, folate, phosphorus, and five times more probability of inadequate iron intake. Women had a more inadequate intake of fruit, meat, and Low adequacy of pre and post workout meals. Athletes of both sexes present inadequacies on dietary intake, however, these were higher among women.In the second stage of the study, 32 athletes, 21 adults and 11 adolescents received nutritional counseling and were analyzed separately. After follow-up, both groups had increased body mass and lean mass and adolescents increased arm muscle area. There was an increase in the number of meals and reduction in the range and the omission of the them in adolescents. Both groups increased the adequacy of pre and post workout meals and nutrition knowledge. Teenagers increased their water intake after the intervention. Both groups showed a high prevalence of positive effects on energy intake, nutrients and food portions. The nutritional counselling has been effective in promoting beneficial changes on the athlete´s nutritional knowledge, their body composition, and their dietary intake, however, the overall effect was greater in the adolescents than in the adults. / O programa bolsa atleta é o maior programa de patrocínio de atletas do mundo, no entanto nenhum trabalho avaliou a alimentação desses atletas.O presente trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas. A primeira teve o objetivo de comparar os hábitos alimentares e o perfil nutricional entre atletas do sexo masculino e feminino, enquanto a segunda avaliou o efeito de uma intervenção nutricional sobre a composição corporal, a ingestão dietética e o conhecimento em nutrição dos atletas. Oitenta atletas participaram da primeira etapa do trabalho, sendo 47 homens e 33 mulheres. Para avaliação da alimentação foi aplicado um recordatório de 24 horas. As atletas do sexo feminino estavam mais inadequadas quanto à ingestão hídrica no treino e refeições pré e pós-treino. Ambos os grupos apresentaram uma elevada prevalência de inadequações nos grupos de hortaliças, leite e derivados, açúcares e doces e óleos e gorduras, no entanto, as mulheres estavam mais inadequadas quanto à ingestão de frutas e carnes e ovos. Os homens apresentaram maior ingestão nutricional e alimentar do que as mulheres. Ambos os grupos apresentaram uma elevada inadequação em micronutrientes, estando as mulheres mais inadequadas em vitaminas do complexo B e ferro. Os atletas de ambos os gêneros apresentaram inadequações nutricionais, no entanto, essas foram maiores entre as mulheres. Na segunda etapa do estudo, 32 atletas, sendo 21 adultos e 11 adolescentes receberam acompanhamento nutricional e foram analisados separadamente. Após o acompanhamento, ambos os grupos tiveram aumento da massa corporal e da massa magra e os adolescentes aumentaram a área muscular do braço. Foi observado um aumento do número de refeições e redução no intervalo e na omissão das mesmas nos adolescentes. Os adolescentes aumentaram a ingestão hídrica diária e no treino após a intervenção. Ambos os grupos apresentaram uma elevada prevalência de efeitos positivos na ingestão de energia, nutrientes e porções alimentares, além de terem aumentado o nível de conhecimento em nutrição. O acompanhamento nutricional proporcionou uma melhora na alimentação, na composição corporal e no nível de conhecimento em nutrição dos atletas, no entanto, esses efeitos foram maiores nos adolescentes.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) belong to cardiovascular diseases and contribute significantly to mortality, morbidity and disability in developed countries. Therefore the aim of current therapy is to reduce the risk of subsequent complications, including early death, and to increase patients' quality of life. For successful therapy it is necessary to follow regimen and dietary principles which are along with pharmacotherapy an integral part of treatment. Therefore sufficient knowledge of these principles by patients is a basic precondition for their successful treatment. Objectives: The aim of the diploma thesis was to assess dietary and regime knowledge in patients diagnosed with ACS. The specific objectives were: to determine an effect of sex or previous education on the knowledge; to describe patients' dietary habits; to specify their knowledge of nutrition; and to identify which knowledge is the most deficient. Methods: The research was carried out as a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was compiled directly for the purposes of this thesis and was approved by the VFN Ethics Committee for use in inpatient wards at II. and III. internal clinics and at the Coronary unit of II. internal clinics of VFN. A total of 80 patients diagnosed with ACS were included in the study....

Bakgrund: Kostvanor och relation till kost påverkas av flera faktorer och self-compassion har en inverkan på båda enligt tidigare forskning. Self-compassion grundar sig i tre komponenter som är self-kindness, mindfulness, common humanity. Syfte: Syftet ämnar skapa en fördjupad förståelse för den upplevda kopplingen mellan selfcompassion och kost. Metod: En litteraturstudie i form av en integrerande sammanställning av kvalitativ forskning. Resultat: Resultatet redovisar tre teman: self-compassion påverkar relationen till kost, selfcompassion påverkar kostbeteenden och self-compassion är ett ständigt pågående arbete. Slutsats: Self-compassion har gett olika erfarenheter så som ökad medvetenhet, höjd närvaro, samt ökat fokus på behov, näring och känslor relaterat till kost jämfört med tidigare. Vardagliga beteenden kring kost har förbättrats genom self-compassion då personer ätit långsammare och överätit i mindre utsträckning. Self-compassion kan dock kräva arbete. Deltagare upplevde över lag att self-compassion påverkade dem positivt. / Backround: Dietary habits and the relationship to dietary habits are influenced by several factors and self-compassion has an impact on both according to previous research. Selfcompassion is based on three components which are self-kindness, mindfulness, common humanity. Aim: The aim of this study was to create a deeper understanding of the perceived connection between self-compassion and diet. Method: A literature review in the form of an integrative compilation of qualitative research. Result: The results report three themes: self-compassion affects the relationship to diet, selfcompassion affects dietary behaviors and self-compassion is a constantly ongoing work. Conclusion; Self-compassion has given different experiences such as increased awareness, increased presence, as well as increased focus on needs, nutrition and feelings related to diet compared to before. Everyday behaviors around diet have improved through self-compassion as people ate more slowly and overeat to a lesser extent. However, self-compassion takes work. Participants generally felt that self-compassion affected them positively.

A crescente epidemia de obesidade tem incentivado profissionais da saúde a procurar por intervenções que possam atingir um grande número de indivíduos de maneira custo-efetiva. Os Programas de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho vêm sendo apontados como ferramentas importantes para a promoção da saúde e qualidade de vida. Neste contexto, o Coaching em Saúde e Bem Estar vem despontando como um componente promissor nas intervenções desenvolvidas nestes programas, de modo a atingir resultados positivos e permanentes para mudança de comportamento para um estilo de vida saudável. Desta forma, o propósito desta revisão é verificar o efeito do Coaching em Saúde e Bem Estar sobre o peso corporal, nível de atividade física e consumo de frutas, legumes e vegetais de trabalhadores. Para tanto, foi conduzida uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS e Cochrane Library. Onze ensaios clínicos randomizados atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade, aos quais foi aplicado o instrumento de avaliação de risco de viés da Colaboração Cochrane e extraídas as informações relevantes de cada estudo. Encontrou-se associação de efeito na direção esperada para peso corporal, atividade física e consumo de frutas, legumes e vegetais. No entanto, 72,7% dos estudos (n=8) apresentaram alto risco de viés. Assim, conclui-se que as evidências para responder à pergunta desta revisão são limitadas e, portanto, sugere-se que mais estudos sejam realizados, considerando-se a transparência no relato das evidências e o rigor metodológico recomendado para sua execução. / The expanding outbreak of obesity has stimulated health professionals to search for interventions capable to encompass a large number of individuals in a cost-effective manner. Worksite Wellness Programs have been pointed out as important tools for the promotion of workers\' health and quality of life. In this context, Health and Wellness Coaching is emerging as a promising component of the interventions developed in such programs, leveraging achievement of positive and permanent results on behavior change for a healthy lifestyle. Under such perspective the purpose of this review is to verify the effect of Health and Wellness Coaching on workers\' body weight, physical activity and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, a survey was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS and Cochrane Library databases. Eleven studies met the selection criteria of this research. The risk of bias analysis tool developed by Cochrane collaboration was applied, and the relevant data were extracted from each study The analysis of results of such studies demonstrated association of positive effect for the increase of workers\' physical activity, body weight and fruits and vegetables intake. Nevertheless, 72,8% of the studies (n=8) showed a high risk of bias. So the conclusion is that the evidences found are not enough to answer the proposed question. Further studies are necessary in order to gather consistent data raised with the required methodological rigor.
