Keywords: nutritional status., physical activity level, energy expenditure, food intake, Congo-Brazzaville.
A study of the physical activities, food profile and nutritional status of the students was carried out at the Higher Institute of Physical and Sports Education (ISEPS) of Marien Ngouabi University in Congo-Brazzaville. Its objective was to assess the physical activity level, food profile and nutritional status of these students in order to compare them with the current recommendations. A food consumption survey that included all activities performed during the day was conducted on 291 students ranging in age from 18 to 48 years. The weekly method was used. Energy expenditure was calculated by multiplying a base expenditure by the physical activity level (PAL). The individual's nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI). Chi-square and ANOVA tests were used for statistical analysis. The students' physical activity level was high, with an average PAL of 1.89. Energy expenditure was 2531.64 kcal for girls and 3045.18 kcal for boys. These expenditures were consistent with moderately active athletes' recommendations. These students' dietary profiles did not adhere to current nutritional recommendations, with unbalanced, non-diversified food rations and certain meals skipped or even eliminated. Despite the high prevalence of overweight, including obesity (17.5% overweight and 9.3% obesity) and a few cases of underweight (6.5%), the nutritional status was normal overall (23.91 kg/m2 in girls and 23.88 kg/m2 in boys). The findings of this study showed that ISEPS students have a high physical activity level, an unbalanced food intake, and normal nutritional status.
