abstract = {Breaking is a sports dance modality that will debut for the first time at the Paris 2024
Olympic Games. This dance form combines street dance steps with acrobatics and athletic elements.
It complies with gender equality, maintains aesthetic appeal, and is practised indoors. The objective
of this study is to assess the characteristics of body composition and nutritional status of the athletes
that make up the Breaking national team. This national team was recruited, and they underwent an
analysis of body composition using bioimpedance measurement and a nutritional interview status
with the completion of a survey on the frequency of the consumption of sports supplements and
ergogenic aids. In addition, they completed a consumption questionnaire for a series of food groups
with specified protein, lipid, and carbohydrate content. After that, parameters were analyzed in
relation to their nutritional status during a complete medical examination at the Endocrinology and
Nutrition Service of the Sports Medicine Center of CSD. A descriptive analysis of the results obtained
was carried out to find the mean values of the variables analyzed. The analytical parameters described
an adequate nutritional status, except for the mean capillary determination of 25-OH-vitamin D3,
which was 24.2 ng/dL (SD: 10.3). Bone mineral density values were higher than those of the general
population. This is the first time that a study of these characteristics has been carried out on Breakers,
so it is highly relevant to increase knowledge in this area in order to conduct nutritional interventions
aimed at improving the sports performance of these athletes},
