Abstract

Introduction. Athletes should have a healthy eating, adequate water intake and good sleep quality to improve their physical performance.

Objective: To establish the index of healthy eating, water intake and sleep quality in athletes.

Material and methods: Cross-sectional design, N= 769 athletes participated. After informed consent, an online survey was applied.  It contained sociodemographic variables, type of sport and healthy habits in the last month. The Healthy Eating Index, water intake in 24 hrs and sleep quality were determined.

Statistical analysis: averages, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages were applied.

Results. 57.7% were women, age 19.8±2.6 years. Ball sports were predominant. 25% showed a healthy eating; water consumption of 1825 ± .828 milliliters in 24 hrs; 48% of women and 36.8% of men had adequate water intake. The 24.4% presented good sleep quality.

Conclusions: the prevalence of healthy eating, adequate water intake and good sleep quality is low. It is important to design strategies to improve these habits and optimize physical performance, quality of life and health.
