  Introdução: A suplementação esportiva é um recurso muito utilizado por praticantes de exercícios físicos, sobretudo aqueles que praticam atividades de alta intensidade, entretanto, existem fatores que podem contribuir para a adesão da prática da suplementação. Objetivo: Identificar a associação entre o uso de suplementos alimentares com os fatores sociodemográficos, econômicos, hábitos de vida, conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável e prática de atividade física em praticantes de atividade física de alta intensidade. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo apresenta caráter analítico, transversal e quantitativo. A população alvo foi os praticantes de atividade física de alta intensidade de uma academia localizada na cidade de Montes Claros, Norte de Minas Gerais. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado questionários que contemplaram o perfil sociodemográfico, econômico e hábitos de vida. Para avaliar o conhecimento acerca da alimentação saudável e o uso de suplementos alimentares, os indivíduos responderam a um questionário adaptado de Zamin e Schimanoski (2010). Resultados: Foram avaliados 91 indivíduos sendo 54,9 eram do sexo masculino. Houve associação significativa entre o uso de suplementos alimentares com as variáveis situação conjugal (p= 0,020), conhecimento sobre suplementos alimentares (p= 0,000), tempo de atividade física sem interrupção (p= 0,049) e número de vezes por semana que pratica atividade física (p= 0,007). Conclusão: Conclui-se que é significativo o consumo de suplementos alimentares por praticantes de atividade física de alta intensidade e que estudos futuros são necessários para que o uso destes suplementos seja realizado com consciência e sob orientação de profissionais habilitados. ABSTRACT Use of food supplements and factors associated with practicers of high intensity physical activityIntroduction: Sports supplementation is a feature that is widely used by physical exercise practitioners, especially those who practice high intensity activities, however, there are several factors that may contribute to the adherence of the practice of supplementation.

There was a significant association between the use of dietary supplements with the variables marital status (p = 0.020), knowledge about dietary supplements (p = 0.000), time of physical activity without interruption (p = 0.049) and number of times per week practicing activity physics (p = 0.007). Conclusion: It is concluded that the consumption of dietary supplements by high-intensity physical activity practitioners is significant and that future studies are necessary so that the use of these supplements is carried out with awareness and under the guidance of qualified professionals.
