(2011) Benítez Vidal, Mónica Karina; Palacios Santana, Gicela Monserrate; Jaramillo Oyervide, Julio Alfredo
Objective: To describe the food consumption characteristics in adolescents of high schools of morning and afternoon schedules in urban Cuenca. Method and materials: Descriptive study. The sample calculation was based on 38118 students with a 50% probability, of occurrence and non-occurrence, a confidence level of 99%. Identifying 810 cases, for the data gathering. The instrument used was a previously validated questionnaire. The results were analyzed using the SPSS 15.0 Evaluation version Results: 47.2% of students belong to middle adolescence, being 54.1% females. The comparable results between the stages of adolescence showed that men and women in mid-adolescence, omitted more food in the mid morning (6.6% and 4.2%). Consume less milk (24.1% and 27.1%) and bread (22.5% and 23.9%) at breakfast. Drink less juice (14.3% to 15.4%) and eat more salty snacks (18.2% and 12.2%) in mid-morning. Eat more salad (19.6% and 31.8%) at lunch, but the consumption of salad decreases at dinner (11.1% and 15.6%), and consume less juice (13% and 13.3%) and eat more salty snacks (8.2% and 4.2%) in the afternoon respectively. Also we appreciated a higher consumption of unhealthy foods such as; fast food 1 time per week (24.9% females and 17.2% males), and salty snacks 2-3 times per week (22.8% females and 17% males). Conclusion: Middle adolescence is when risky food behaviors appear. Beginning at this age the consumption of nutritious food decreases and the consumption of harmful products increases.

(2018) Arévalo Barriga, Patricia Natalí; Lucero Borja, Diana Fernanda; Vintimilla Rojas, Daniela Alejandra
Introduction: The triathlon is a sport of resistance, it is composed of three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running, demanding a high energy expenditure; the energy requirements in adolescence are significantly higher than at any other stage, that is why a comprehensive valuation has to be carry out, and important implications related to the health and performance of the athlete must be avoided. Objective: To determine the nutritional status and total energy expenditure of triathletes of the pre-juvenile and youth categories of the Federación Deportiva del Azuay in the period: October 2017 to March 2018. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 20 athletes, 12 men and 8 women between 13 and 19 years old. The total energy expenditure, anthropometric assessment, biochemical analysis, food intake and clinical and dietary aspects were determined to evaluate the nutritional status of the triathletes. Results: The total energy expenditure of the triathletes was 3446 calories in men and 3321 calories in women. The fat percentage values were 13.8% in men and 16.6% in women. The 40% of athletes covered their energy needs; the 10% had an adequate protein intake, the average was 1.7 g/kg/day; the 30% covered with fat requirements and the 25% consumed the right amount of carbohydrates. Conclusion: Athletes show an adequate nutritional status despite the aspects analyzed such as insufficient caloric intake, incorrect eating habits, biochemical values and microbiological risks, which in the future could lead to complications if they are not corrected and an adequate follow-up is carried out
