Dietas vegetarianas: consumo de proteínas no âmbito esportivo

Abstract

Vegetarianism is a food habit in which animal source foods such as meat are excluded or may not help the dairy and derivatives included. This happens either by benefit of health reasons or cultural factors. There are several categories of vegetarianism, restricted vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian or semi-vegetarian. This work aims to study, Bibliographically, protein consumption in sports and analyzes the different diets. Some specific aspects are studied to help in determining our hypothesis. Some of these studies are: how to replace the animal protein by the plant so that it has the desired balance. As well as animal protein, as a high biological value protein, involve the over-consumption and also protein response during exercise. The article presents a possibility of protein balance, bearing in mind that correlations do not generate causalities, the vegetable protein has the same input, the same bioavailability as the protein of animal origin, and thus should have a good distribution in the food without excess.
