Em esportes de combate com divisões por categorias de peso é comum os atletas utilizarem da perda de peso rápida para se enquadrarem em categorias menores com intuito de lutarem com adversários mais leves e fracos. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a prevalência e os métodos de redução de peso corporal de atletas de judô, de ambos os sexos, do Rio Grande do Sul. Um total de 48 atletas, sendo 35 (72,9%) do sexo masculino e 13 (27,1%) do sexo feminino, com idade média de 23,19 ± 6,07 anos, que eram competidores de judô no ano de 2016, responderam ao RWQL (Rapid Weigth Loss Questionaire). Quanto ao grau de influência na conduta de redução do peso corporal, para o sexo masculino se destaca a influência realizada pelo técnico de judô/sensei (55,9%) enquanto que no sexo feminino, destaca-se a influência de nutricionistas (69,2%). Quanto as estratégias para a perda de peso mais utilizadas, independente do sexo, foram a diminuição de líquidos (sexo masculino= 73,5%; sexo feminino= 92,3%) e treinar com agasalhos (sexo masculino= 47,1%; sexo feminino= 77%). Conclui-se, portanto, que foi alta a prevalência de atletas que fazem uso de diferentes métodos de perda de peso rápido em períodos pré-competitivos, independente do sexo. A maioria dos atletas fazem uso da perda de líquidos, sendo que é baixa a procura por auxílio nutricional, principalmente no sexo masculino. ABSTRACT Prevalence and methods of rapid weight-loss in judo athletesIn combat sports with divisions by weight categories it is common for athletes to use rapid weight loss to fit into smaller categories in order to fight with lighter and weaker opponents. The aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence and methods of weight reduction of judo athletes, both men and women, in Rio Grande do Sul. A total of 48 athletes, 35 (72.9%) of whom male and 13 (27.1%) female, with a mean age of 23.19 ± 6.07 years, who were judo competitors in the year 2016, responded to the Rapid Weigth Loss Questionnaire (RWQL). Regarding the degree of influence in the reduction of body weight, the influence of the judo technician/sensei (55.9%) is highlighted, while in the female gender, the influence of nutritionists (69, 2%). The most used weight loss strategies, regardless of gender, were the decrease of liquids (male = 73.5%, female = 92.3%) and training with warm clothing (male sex = 47.1%; female = 77%). It was concluded, therefore, that the prevalence of athletes who use different fast weight loss methods in pre-competitive periods, regardless of gender, was high. Most athletes use fluid loss, and the demand for nutritional assistance is low, especially in males.
