Resumo(s)
Ao longo dos últimos anos, o mercado de suplementos alimentares tem revelado um aumento exponencial, principalmente entre atletas e praticantes de exercício físico.
Este crescimento reflete a importância que a sociedade atribui à imagem corporal e a urgência de alcançar a forma física desejada. No entanto, os consumidores tendem a ver o benefício de alcançar rapidamente os seus objetivos, mas nunca os potenciais efeitos adversos.
Paralelamente, o aumento da procura leva a um crescimento da oferta. Surgem constantemente novas indústrias com um marketing atrativo, informação muitas vezes tendenciosa, incompleta e com promessa de efeitos imediatos.
Este facto, aliado à regulamentação pouco exigente relativa a suplementos alimentares vigente em Portugal, pode levar a consumos impróprios e poderá pôr em risco a saúde dos desportistas.
É, portanto, fundamental que haja informação disponível, de fácil acesso e segura para quem pretende consumir suplementos alimentares.
Com esta dissertação, pretendo recolher conhecimentos – mecanismo de ação, eficácia e segurança – sobre a suplementação alimentar desportiva, particularmente suplementos proteicos, e analisar o mercado atual do seu consumo em Portugal.
Over the past few years, the dietary supplement market has experienced an exponential increase, especially among athletes and exercisers. This growth reflects the importance society attaches to body image and the urgency to achieve the desired physical shape. However, consumers tend to see the benefit of reaching their goals quickly, but never the potential adverse effects. At the same time, the increase in demand leads to a growth in supply. New industries are constantly appearing with attractive marketing, information that is often biased, incomplete, and promising immediate results. This fact, combined with the undemanding regulation concerning dietary supplements in force in Portugal, may lead to improper consumption and may compromise the health of athletes. Therefore, it is essential that information is available, easily accessible and reliable for those who intend to consume supplements. With this dissertation, I intend to gather knowledge on the sports supplementation available in the market - mechanism of action, efficacy and safety - and analyze the current market of sports supplements consumption in Portugal.
