- Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the dietary supplements used by amateur sportswomen training in fitness clubs (F - Fitness) compared to women who do not train (C - Control). Methods. 248 women aged 16 to 31 years (F: 120, C: 128) participated in the study. Results. In group F, 60.00% of women used protein products, 40.83% other dietary supplements, most often: creatine 17.50%, vitamin complexes 10.00%, vitamin D 10.00%, branched chain amino acids 7.50%, fish oil/omega acids 7.50%. A positive predictor of the use of protein supplements was the consumption of vegetables (B: 1.26, 95% CIs: 1.13-11.01). Total supplement use: age (B: 0.27, 95% CIs: 1.09-1.59), number of months of training (B: 0.59, 95% CIs: 1.15-2.81), following the advice of a dietitian (B: 1.50, 95% CIs: 1.45-13.87) and calorie counting (B: 1.54, 95% CIs: 1.49-14.53). Positive predictors of creatine use were: age (B: 0.54, 95% CIs: 1.21-2.42) and calorie count (B: 2.09, 95% CIs: 1.35-48.32). Conclusions. Supplements were more often used by women who were older, who did long training sessions, who were counting calories and those who were seeing a dietitian. Creatine was used more frequently by older women and women counting calories.
