| Abstract | |
Nutrition applied to motor activity is divided in four areas of human movement, namely: sports, physical education, dance, recreation/leisure. This conceptual definition differentiates the target population of nutritional intervention. The human body has always presented the movement as part of their daily activity and selected organisms evolutionarily more economical. In return for the account of demands, social, financial, among other modern life imposed inactivity as the motor pattern of human behavior that together with the genetic default of the economy resulted in the modern diseases such as obesity, diabetes etc. In this way society has institutionalized human movement creating distinct manifestations described above and their specific needs have to be of academic interest / scientific. Nutritionally, the studies focus on energy balance, the need for carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and micronutrients and other biologically active compounds. These studies define these substances under the criteria of essentiality or ergogenic effect than the physiological. The first determines changes in nutritional needs and the second substances deemed illegal. At present much of the scientific community dedicated to nutrition applied to motor activity, directs his calling in an attempt to discover the specific needs caused by the regular practice of motor activity allowing for regular exercise that triggers the same benefits in health maintenance so full in the four areas described above.
