    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-05-01) Caisaguano Vega, Marcia Yadira; Viteri Robayo, Carmen Patricia PhD.
    La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar el estado nutricional, en función de los eventos alimentarios y actividad física en estudiantes de nivelación de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, pertenecientes al período Abril 2023 – Septiembre 2023. Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo y de corte trasversal, se obtuvo una muestra de 117 estudiantes, y se aplicó los cuestionarios: “Cuestionario de Hábitos Alimentarios de Universitarios” y “Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ)”. Además, se tomó las medidas antropométricas de peso, talla y porcentaje de grasa corporal. Para el análisis estadístico se digitalizó la información en el programa de Microsoft Excel 2016, y fueron analizadas en el programa estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics 21. En los resultados el 49,6% indicaron consumir los alimentos 3 veces al día, la comida del desayuno es el evento alimentario que más omiten. La comida más consumida en media mañana son las frutas (enteras o en preparaciones) y/o frutos secos y en media tarde el agua natural. El 61,5% de estudiantes presentaron un nivel de actividad física bajo y 8 de estos estudiantes presentan hábito de sedentarismo. El 71,8% de estudiantes presentaron estado nutricional normal, de estos una mayor proporción (36,8%) presentaron un porcentaje de grasa corporal inadecuado.

    IMPACTO DE LA ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA EXCESIVA EN EL DESARROLLO DE TRASTORNOS DE CONDUCTA ALIMENTARIA
    (2025-06-18) Nieto Chávez Michelle Estefania; Guevara Villacís Mishelts Vanessa; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética
    Excessive exercise fostered an obsession with weight and appearance, potentially leading to unhealthy eating patterns. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that individuals who exercised compulsively or participated in high-performance sports experienced significant pressure to meet certain physical standards and followed extreme diets, which contributed to the development of eating disorders. A bibliographic review was conducted using the Prisma method, selecting 23 out of 225 relevant studies from databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Mendeley, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Zotero. The findings affirmed that physical hyperactivity constituted a high-risk factor for the development of eating disorders, and strict dietary regimens compromised the nutrition of young athletes. A key element in their recovery was the nutritional approach of gradual food reintroduction in small quantities until patients achieved full recovery. The study concluded by noting that a balanced relationship between nutrition and physical activity, coupled with the healthcare team's commitment to patients, would prevent the increase of such cases.

    Relación de la ingesta dietética y actividad física en el estado nutricional de los miembros de la policía nacional de la subzona Tungurahua #18
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-08-01) Barrera Morales, Jennifer Paola; Hidalgo Morales, Kattyta Patricia Lic, MSc.
    In times of crisis, it is crucial to have a strong and efficient police force to meet security challenges, despite the social, financial, health and nutritional difficulties that may arise. In this context, research was conducted to determine the nutritional condition of police officers in the Pelileo district. A mixed approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative information, including anthropometric measurements and a nutritional diagnosis. The physical activity performed both during or after the job was inquired, and macronutrient intake was evaluated. The results showed that approximately 64% of the participants were overweight, with no significant metabolic risk, and a medium body build. However, the fat index aligned with BMI, indicating 71% obesity and 21% overweight. About 50% had average muscularity, related to a high level of weekly physical activity. Regarding macronutrient intake, variations were observed between work and rest days, with a nutritional imbalance. Despite this, no significant differences were found between home and work consumption in relation to requirements. These statistically supported findings suggest adequate levels of nutrition, although it is contradictory to the high rates of overweight and obesity. Indepth studies on nutrient intake needed for better understanding
