NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND THEIR USE WEIGHTS AMONGST THE AMATEUR BODYBUILDERS

Abstract

In bodybuilding, the physical training takes different aspects, in particular the relationship with a specific diet and a substantial contribution of nutritional supplements. The diet for amateur bodybuilders is usually poor, having a negative impact in achieving sportive performance, because the muscle strengthening is closely bounded to vitamins, proteins, carbs, minerals, etc. In this study we have tested the hypothesis according to which in bodybuilding, achieving a good physique and sportive performance is not possible without nutritional supplementation. The study revealed that the athletes manifest a great interest into diet, corroborated with a protein supplementation in different concentrations.
