Title: Efecto de las dietas vegetarianas y veganas en la práctica deportiva
Author: Sánchez Galindo, Carla
Tutor: López Samanes, Álvaro  
Abstract: Nowadays, vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming increasingly popular due to various reasons such as the search for animal welfare, the preservation of the environment, or the improvement of health-related aspects, reaching even greater relevance in populations such as athletes, a population in which the effectiveness of mentioned diets is questioned due to their specific nutritional requirements. Therefore, this review’s main objective is to analyze the current evidence on the efficacy of vegetarian diets in strength and endurance sports. A literature search was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) using two databases (Pubmed and Web of Science), from which a total of eight studies were finally included in this review out of the 243 articles identified. Its authors have identified that vegetarian diets are suitable for the practice of strength sports, without observing significant differences between vegetarian and omnivorous athletes. On the other hand, vegetarian diets displayed an advantage in endurance sports due to an improvement in relative VO2max. Furthermore, these diets did not compromise sports performance in any of the two sports modalities, allowing athletes to achieve the necessary nutritional requirements and an optimal body composition. Therefore, it can be established that these types of diets are suitable for the development of strength and endurance sports.
