Perfil del consumidor de suplementos nutricionales de las sedes de los gimnasios de la USTA en Bogotá
Consumer profile of nutritional supplements from the gyms USTA’s seats in Bogotá
Abstract (en)
In Colombia there is a growing interest in consuming supplements, without knowledge of their effects; Therefore, it is essential to know the profile of the consumer who attends the USTA gyms in Bogotá. The objective was to determine the profile of the consumer of nutritional supplements in ages of 15 to 35 years in the gyms of the offices of the USTA, through the application of a questionnaire of 19 open and closed questions to 100 male and female volunteers, attendees to these gyms. A quantitative method was used. As a result, the use of supplementation in gymnasiums of the USTA was characterized; confirming that men consume more supplements preferring protein shakes to increase their muscle mass. Additionally, it was determined that women consume mainly vitamins and lipolytic agents to decrease fat mass. Finally, it was identified that a high percentage believe that the consumption of supplements helps them to achieve their objectives. It was concluded that a considerable number of people who regularly attend gyms consume supplements without specialized guidance and without having to actually use them, but it is necessary to regulate this irrational and potentially unsafe use of nutritional supplements in improving physical performance.
