Özet:

People are increasingly concerned with quality of life and, due to this fact, the practice of sports by non-athletes has grown considerably. On the other hand, there is an increase in diseases linked to obesity, which may be related to the quality of sleep. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the nutritional status and sleep quality of sports practitioners in general, not professional athletes. This research is characterized by a cross-sectional study, whose established criterion for participation was that the volunteers were adults and practiced sports. The individuals answered the online questionnaire that assessed their sleep pattern using the Pittisburg Questionnaire, Physical Activity Questionnaire and Nutritional Status Analysis Questionnaire (online nutritional assessment questionnaire). The data were presented using descriptive statistics, in which the categorical variables were presented by means of absolute and relative frequency, and the quantitative variables were expressed by means and standard deviations. Most of the interviewees were female, about 69% of the sample, and 51% had eutrophic nutritional status. However, among individuals overweight and obese, 61% reported consuming simple carbohydrates frequently, which triggered a result of 60% of the sample with insufficient sleep time. It is concluded that eating habits are directly linked to sleep habits and, consequently, to the nutritional status of individuals. Changes in the circadian cycle affected the results of these individuals.
