Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka huruvida fysisk aktivitet kan påverka en individs frukostval. Vidare undersöktes på vilket sätt frukostvalet i så fall hade påverkats samt om denna förändring var beroende av ålder och kön. Studien var av empirisk, deskriptiv design. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med totalt 98 deltagare, 50 kvinnor och 48 män (16-75 år). Enligt resultatet var den kombinerade träningsformen (konditionsträning och styrketräning) den dominerande bland båda könen. Renodlad styrketräning var vanligare bland männen då ingen av kvinnorna uppgav denna som utpräglad träningsform. Kvinnorna utövade istället konditionsträning i större utsträckning än männen. Resultatet visade även att det skilde sig ytterst lite mellan de deltagare som menade att frukostvalet hade påverkats av träning och de som inte upplevt någon förändring. Bland kvinnorna svarade ett fåtal fler att frukosten hade påverkats medan männens svar var jämnt fördelade mellan påverkad och icke påverkad. Åldersmässigt visade resultatet en tydlig skillnad där majoriteten av dem som svarat att frukostvalet förändrats, återfanns i de två yngsta åldersgrupperna, hos båda könen. I den äldsta åldersgruppen var det ingen deltagare som angav att träningen påverkat frukostvalet. Vanliga orsaker till förändring av frukostvalet visade sig vara ökad hunger, en vilja att tillföra kroppen energi för att orka prestera på träningen, att kunna få bästa möjliga resultat av träningen samt för att skapa en hälsosam livsstil. 

 

 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to investigate if regular physical activity can affect a person’s nutritional habits, which in this study focused on breakfast. The study also examined in what way the breakfast habits had been changed and if the change was dependent on sex and age. The study was of empirical, descriptive design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a total of 98 participants, 50 women and 48 men (16-75 years old). According to the results, the combined fitness regime (cardio-vascular exercise and resistance training) was dominant among both sexes. Pure resistance training was more common among men while women practiced cardio-vascular exercise more frequently. Further, the result showed very little difference between the participants who said that breakfast habits had changed due to exercise and those who did not experience any change at all. A few more women answered that breakfast habits had been affected compared to the men where the answers were equally divided between being affected and not. The majority of those who reported altered breakfast habits were found in the two youngest groups, among both sexes. In the oldest group no one reported that exercise had affected their breakfast habits. Common causes for change of breakfast habits proved to be increased appetite, to provide the body with enough energy to perform, to get the best result from training and to create a healthy lifestyle.
