摘要：The present study aimed to evaluate the necessity of the use of electrolyte drinks by bodybuilders, by consuming food and nutritional needs as sex, age, type and duration of training conducted. A total of 18 bodybuilders that use energetic repositories were evaluated on a gym located at Lajeado city. A questionnaire was administered to evaluate the food consumption and another structured questionnaire concerning the lifestyle of the person, physical exercise and use of sports drinks. Nutritional evaluation was performed through the Body Mass Index (BMI). The Gatorade sport drink was the most consumed with 55.6% (n = 10) of the participants. The mean of the carbohydrate macronutrient consumed within three days observed were 56.52% (NS), 54.71% (NS) and 57.19% (NS) showed no significant difference when compared with the reference values of DRI (2002). Among the micronutrients analyzed, it was found that potassium did not reach its maximum recommended (4.7 g / day), significantly less than the reference value (DRI) (3.12 g / day (p = 0.000), 2.48 g / day (p = 0.000) and 2.66 g / day (p = 0.000)). Regarding sodium, it was found that the amount consumed per day was 3.18 g (p = 0.000), 2.29 g (p = 0.002) and 2.56 g (p = 0.001) and it was significantly higher than the reference value (1.5 g / day). Thus it is concluded that ingestion of electrolytic drink is not suitable for the population studied, since the quantity of sodium ingested with food and isotonic exceeded the recommended amount, and this characterizes a risk factor for developing hypertension and other chronic diseases in the future.
