Determinación del perfil proteico en deportistas de la Federación Deportiva de Cañar, 2017

Abstract:

Background: Sports medicine cares for the health of the athlete, therefore, it is necessary to perform diagnostic and control tests to verify their health status. One of the profiles to be evaluated is the proteinogram, because the correct intake of the proteins available to the athlete reaches a high performance in their activities, also helps to an adequate synthesis of muscle mass, improves post-exercise recovery and reduces the possibility of suffering skeletal muscle injuries. Hypoproteinemia is an important indicator of malnutrition and is also related to muscle wasting or breakage; a hyperproteinemia develops in a state of dehydration mainly. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the proteinogram in Sportsmen from 14 to 18 years of the Sports Federation of Cañar 2017. Method and Materials: The study is of a cross-sectional descriptive type, carried out with a sample composed of 180 athletes from the Cañar Sports Federation aged 14 years to 18 years. who were informed of the procedure to be performed and after signing the consent / informed consent, the blood samples were taken. The blood was processed in the laboratory of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital, complying with the biosafety and quality standards. The information processed in the SPSS program version 2.2, Excel and Word. Results: The 99.4% of athletes presented values within the reference ranges of total proteins and 0.6% showed high values; albumin remained within normal limits with 97.2% and 2.8% presented elevations; globulins 90.6% indicated normal levels, while 8.8% showed decreased values Conclusions: The proteinogram is a biochemical profile that allows the evaluation of the health status of the athlete, in the present study was found in the highest percentage normal values.
