Alcohol intake of athletic university students
HRDLIČKOVÁ, Vanda
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is "alcohol intake of athletic university students." The rate at which alcohol is broken down depends on a number of physiological differences, such as gender or the proportion of muscle and fat tissue. Despite its certain protective effects, consumption cannot be recommended - especially in combination with sport. In the practical part, a quantitative method of data collection was used. The research group consisted of 128 university students aged 18-30. The aim was to compare the different alcohol consumption of athletic and non-athletic students. The results of both groups were very similar. The most frequently chosen option was "I consume alcohol only occasionally (about twice a month)", as it was chosen by 40% of sports and 33.3% of non-sports respondents. This was followed by consumption 3-5 times a month, which was chosen by 36% of athletes and 41% of non-athletes. There was a higher frequency of consumption (several times a week) in the case of 18% of athletes and 16.7% of non-athletes. The last 6% of sports and 9% of non-sports respondents consume alcohol every day. Another aim was to examine the degradation of alcohol from the system. I tested 20 students (10 athletes, 10 non-athletes) by using an alcohol tester. Athletic men eliminated a dose of 40 ml of 34% distillate within 30 minutes. Non-athletes in double time, i. e. 60 minutes. All women eliminated the same dose of alcohol within a similar period of time (60-105 minutes), regardless of the level of their physical activity. All participants also provided a weekly dietary record, including alcohol consummation. After entering dietary records into the Nutriservis program, I came to an average energy intake and the representation of individual nutrients, which can also affect the degradation itself.
