ABSTRACT
The aims of the present study were to assess and compare the health habits and quality of life (QoL) of amateur athletes in different sports. A total of 88 male amateur athletes, engaged in team (n=33), individual (n=30) and combat sports (n=25) aged between 18 and 35 years participated in the experiment. The subjects underwent individual anamnesis and completed the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire to measure QoL. Information on the frequency and duration of training sessions was also collected. According to the findings, team sport athletes consumed more alcoholic beverages, and those from individual sports obtained higher values in the physical (83.7 ± 9.3 vs 76.8 ± 9.5 points, p = 0.03) and environmental domains (73.4 ± 11.6 vs 66.3 ± 8.9 points, p = 0.03) and overall QoL score (81.2 ± 6.7 vs 75.2 ± 7.9 points, p = 0.01), respectively. No correlations were found between QoL domains and time engaged in the sport (r = 0.01; p = 0.91), number of weekly training sessions (r = 0.09; p = 0.39) and session duration (r = -0.06; p = 0.59). Comparison of QoL results with those of the general population revealed higher levels in the physical and psychological components of amateur athletes. In the present study, engaging in sports was associated with higher QoL levels in amateur athletes, particularly in the physical and psychological domains. Moreover, correlations were found between the overall score and domains of QoL.
RESUMO
Os objetivos do estudo foram avaliar e comparar hábitos de saúde e níveis de Qualidade de Vida (QV) de atletas amadores de diferentes grupos de modalidades esportivas. Participaram deste estudo 88 atletas amadores do sexo masculino, praticantes de modalidades coletivas (n=33), individuais (n=30) e lutas (n=25) entre 18 e 35 anos. Os envolvidos preencheram anamnese individual e, para medida de QV, responderam o questionário WHOQOL-bref. In-formações sobre frequência e duração de sessões de treinamento também foram coletadas. De acordo com os achados, atletas de modalidades coletivas exibiram maior consumo de bebidas alcoólicas. Quando comparados a estes, os praticantes de modalidades individuais apresentaram valores superiores nos domínios físico (83,7 ± 9,3 vs 76,8 ± 9,5 pontos, p = 0,03), ambiental (73,4 ± 11,6 vs 66,3 ± 8,9 pontos, p = 0,03) e no escore geral de QV (81,2 ± 6,7 vs 75,2 ± 7,9 pontos, p = 0,01), respectivamente. Não foram encontradas correlações entre domínios da QV e tempo de prática (p = 0,91), frequência semanal de treino (p = 0,39) e duração das sessões de treino (p = 0,59). Ao comparar os resultados de QV com os de referência populacional, níveis mais elevados foram encontrados nos componentes físicos e psicológicos entre esportistas amadores. No presente estudo, a prática esportiva esteve associada a níveis superiores de QV de atletas amadores, particularmente nos domínios físico e psicológico. Além do mais, foram encontradas correlações entre escore geral e os domínios da QV.
