Description
Summary:abstract Adipose tissue reduction and lean mass increase are frequent goals in exercise programs aimed at health and aesthetics. In this context, when postulating the need for an energy deficit for weight loss and a caloric surplus for muscle hypertrophy, was developed the idea that it would not be possible for both phenomena to exist simultaneously. Contrarily, the term “Body Recomposition” (BR) emerges in the literature, a phenomenon in which weight loss and muscle hypertrophy occur at the same time. BR has already been observed using different techniques for analyzing body composition, from doubly indirect methods to magnetic resonance imaging, and in different population groups, namely: adolescents, sedentary or physically active adults, the elderly and people with excess weight, as well as practitioners of sports, including bodybuilding. BR occurs with precise nutritional adjustment, with protein consumption above the recommended daily intake (0.8 g/kg), in ranges between 2.4 and 3.4 g/kg of body mass/day. Different types of exercises can lead to BR, from strength training, through high-intensity circuit training, high-intensity interval training, and even concurrent training – most often with a high weekly frequency. resumo Redução de tecido adiposo e aumento de massa magra se constituem como objetivos frequentes em programas de exercícios voltados à saúde e à estética. Nesse contexto, ao se postular a necessidade de déficit energético para o emagrecimento e superavit calórico para a hipertrofia muscular, desenvolveu-se a ideia de que não seria possível a existência de ambos os fenômenos de forma simultânea. Contrariamente, emerge na literatura o termo “Recomposição Corporal” (RC), fenômeno no qual ocorre emagrecimento e hipertrofia muscular ao mesmo tempo. A RC já foi observada com emprego de diferentes técnicas de análise da composição corporal, desde métodos duplamente indiretos até ressonância nuclear magnética, e em diversos grupos populacionais, a saber: adolescentes, adultos sedentários ou fisicamente ativos, idosos e pessoas com excesso de peso, além de praticantes de modalidades esportivas, inclusive fisiculturismo. A RC ocorre com ajuste nutricional preciso, com consumo de proteínas acima da ingestão diária recomendada (0,8 g/kg), em faixas entre 2,4 e 3,4 g/kg de massa corporal/dia. Diferentes tipos de exercícios físicos podem conduzir à RC, desde o treinamento de força, passando pelo treinamento em circuito em alta intensidade, treinament
