Abstract

The nutritional profile of sixty-seven handball players (thirty-four males and thirty-three females) was studied. Diet was examined through self-registers, food-frequency questionnaire and 24 hours recall. The energy intake were 3742Kcal/day for male and 2598Kcal/day for female. The food sources were similar to the general metropolitan population from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. lt was observed inadequacy in mineral and vitamin intakes in comparison with the Recommended Dietary Allowances - RDA (NATIONAL..., 1989). The results show that the athletes'diet is inadequate in terms of nutrient intakes, despite the high energy consumption. There is a need to develop a counseling program about the proper diet for athletes.
