Objective
This study assessed the dietary intake and anthropometric profile of professional
and semi-professional groups of dancers, compared the body composition of
males and females and analyzed the adequacy of food intake with respect to
their requirements.
Methods
The sample consisted of 16 dancers of both genders aged 20 to 35 years from an
international contemporary dance company of Goiânia (GO). The following were
collected: weight; height; chest, axilla, triceps, subscapular, abdomen, suprailiac
and front thigh skinfold thicknesses; and two 24-hour dietary recalls. The energy
requirements were determined by the United States Institute of Medicine and
macronutrient requirements by the American College of Sports Medicine. The
data were input in the software Epi Info 6.04 and analyzed by the software
Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 18.0. The Shapiro-Wilk, Mann
Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used and the significance level was set to 5%.
Results
The only body measurement that differed between the groups was triceps skinfold
thickness among women, which was smaller in the professional group (p=0.03).
Triceps and front thigh (p<0.001), chest (p=0.007) and suprailiac (p=0.009)
skinfold thicknesses differed between genders (p<0.001), being greater among
women. Both men (p=0.01) and women (p=0.02) were consuming less energy
than their requirements.
Conclusion
There were no significant differences in the body composition of individuals of
the same gender. Triceps, chest, suprailiac and thigh skinfold thicknesses and
percentage of body fat were higher in women. Energy, carbohydrate and protein
intakes were below the recommended amounts.
