Eating habits of women engaged in physical activity

Prema svojim željama i ciljevima svaka žena bira vrstu i intenzitet treninga kako bi postigla određeni rezultat iz razloga kao što su zdravlje ili fizički izgled. Uz plan treninga žene koje se bave tjelesnom aktivnošću moraju imati i program prehrane jer hrana treba zadovoljiti nutritivne potrebe žene tijekom treninga i oporavka mišića. Odnosno, hrana treba osigurati dovoljno energije i zadovoljiti potrebe svih nutrijenata. Cilj ovoga rada je ispitati imaju li žene koje se bave tjelesnom aktivnošću zdrave prehrambene navike te uvidjeti povezanost s prehrambenim navikama njihove djece kroz anketni upitnik. Na odabir hrane uvelike utječu prehrambene navike samih roditelja, najviše majki, a poznato je da su upravo roditelji uzori svojoj djeci. Žene koje su sudjelovale u anketom upitniku polaznice su sportskog centra u Osijeku. Kroz upitnik je proučavana svjesnost i znanje žena o pravilnoj prehrani. Uz istražene zdravstvene dobrobiti tjelesne aktivnosti, sve veći broj istraživanja ukazuje na psihološke, društvene, ekonomske i ekološke dobrobiti tjelesne aktivnosti. No nije dovoljno razvijena svijest ljudi oko dobrobiti koje pruža bavljenje tjelesnom aktivnošću koja je uvelike povezana s prehranom kako bi konačan rezultat bio pozitivan. Ranijim istraživanjem je utvrđena veza između tjelesne aktivnosti i prehrane, osobe koje više vježbaju unose manje masnu hranu i unose više mikronutrijenata. Većina ispitanica razumije značaj koji pravilna prehrana ima za zdravlje, ali nedovoljno znanje uzrokuje neadekvatan način prehrane. Svaka osoba treba svakodnevno voditi brigu o prehrani te u budućnosti treba ulagati velike napore kako bi se promijenile navike istih s ciljem postizanja pozitivnog utjecaja na zdravlje i kvalitetnije izvedbe vježbi.According to their wishes and goals, each woman chooses the type and intensity of the training to achieve a particular result for reasons such as health or physical appearance. In addition to the women's physical activity training program, they must have a nutrition program because they need to meet the nutritional needs during training and muscle recovery. That is, food should provide enough energy and meet the needs of all nutrients. The aim of this paper is to examine whether women are engaged in physical activity of healthy eating habits through a questionnaire survey. As far as the diet of children is concerned with food choices, they are largely affected by the nutritional habits of their parents, the most mothers, and it is well known that the parents are role models to their children. The women who participated in the questionnaire survey are participants of the sports centre in Osijek. Through the questionnaire, the woman's awareness and knowledge of proper nutrition was studied. Along with the well-researched health benefits of physical activity, an increasing number of researches point to the psychological, social, economic and ecological benefits of physical activity. However, people's awareness of well-being provided by physical activity that is largely related to nutrition is not well-developed so that the final outcome is positive. Earlier research has established a link between physical activity and nutrition, persons who exercise more intake less fatty foods and intake more micronutrients. Most respondents understand the importance that proper nutrition has for health, but inadequate knowledge causes inadequate diet. Everyone should take care of the diet every day, and in the future, great efforts must be made to change their habits in order to achieve a positive impact on health and better performance exercises
