Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with food intake in a physically active population during the social isolation period imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a cross-sectional design, information was collected by electronic questionnaire among 246 physically active people between August and October 2020. Questions regarding the physical activity level and health habits were collected. Food consumption data were collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire. The level of physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short version. Logistic regression models were used to verify the association between variables. Binary logistic regression test pointed out associations between unhealthy diet and body dissatisfaction (OR=2.395; p<.001) and worse perceived sleep during the pandemic (OR=2.019; p=.011). The results indicate the need for healthy eating to maintain physical and mental health, even among physically active people.
