Abstract

The objective of the current research was to formulate and develop a nutritional snack based on high protein serum in protein for adolescent athletes. As regards the methodology carried out, it was a transversal design with exploratory range of qualitative and quantitative type, which had a sample of 30 teenage athletes from 12 to 18 years of age of the Wrestling category attending the Guayaquil City of Guayaquil Sports Federation. By evaluating the sensory analysis was obtained a higher percentage of product acceptability. In addition, physico-chemical analysis was carried out to determine the nutritional value of the product by producing the nutritional table, obtaining in 35g the net weight of the snack an energy supply of 113 calories, 13g of carbohydrates, 3g of protein and 6g of total fat, as well as a microbiological analysis obtained as parameters of E.Coli < 1 x 10 ^ 1 ufc/g and salmonella not detected spp/25g, thereby determining the compliance with the requirements of the Regulatory 1020-2010/MINSA. We evaluate the nutritional status of athletes from 12 to 18 years of age, using as an instrument the estimate of intake of foods by reminder of 24 hours to quantify the intake of protein of the athlete. This also evaluated the protein consumption by ages 12 to 18. We performed nutritional education aimed at athletes, in order to encourage and strengthen good food habits, being balanced in macronutrients by means of suitable proportions and without excesses. Likewise give to know the importance of hydration before, during and after exercise.
