其他摘要：The sporting environment represents a subculture that increases socio-cultural pressures for thinness. Due to these pressures, associated to sport, mainly sports that emphasizes low weight, as rhythmic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics, the young athletes become more vulnerable to eating disorders than adolescents non athletes. The aims and purposes of our study are to determinate the presence of eating disorders in rhythmic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics, as verify if the nutritional intake in the competitive period and at the previous day to the competition, are different in both disciplines. We applied the EAT-26 test and an anamnesis at 76 female gymnasts, aged between 7 and 25 years old (mean = 10.59 +2.79 years old), of different Portuguese clubs. The exploratory analyze as been done by the description of the variable on study. In the inferential analyze and to do the multiple comparisons, we used the parametric test One-way Anova, presenting f and p values (0.05). For total results in the EAT-26, we have average 20.24 (+11.94) and, relatively to nutritional intake we verify that only 9.7% of athletes intakes different food in the competitive period [f(72)=0.15; p=0.70], and 8.3% intakes different quantities of food [f(72)=0.71; p=0.40], in that period. Only 13.9% intakes different food [f(72)=0.00; p=1.00] and 12.5% intakes different quantities in the competition previous day [f(72)=0.62; p=0.43]. With this we conclude that a gymnast has a predisposition to develop eating disorders and they don't change they diet in the competitive period neither at the previous day to the competition.
