Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, considerable attention has been focused on the incidence of disordered eating patterns in female athletes. The first purpose of this study was to compare the means of the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2) subscales of female varsity athletes (n = 163) to data from both a female college population and an eating disorder population. The second purpose of this study was to identify athletes at risk for eating disorders using cut-off scores on the Drive for Thinness (DT) and Body Dissatisfaction (BD) subscales of the EDI-2. Questionnaires were completed anonymously by athletes at a practice or team meeting during their competitive season. Z-tests revealed that varsity female athletes differed significantly on all EDI-2 subscales from the clinical eating disorder population (p $

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing research on women athletes' risk for eating disorders supports both athletes at greater risk and athletes at lower risk than the general population. This meta-analysis pooled the descriptive statistics from research that utilized the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) on women athletes to synthesize the existing research. Twenty studies with available sample size, means and standard deviations were included. Weighted means for women athletes were computed and compared to control means and to eating disordered patients means by independent t-tests. Athletes were grouped by Competition Level (recreational, college, elite) and the sports' emphasis on leanness, termed Body Emphasis (yes, no, mixed), and subjected to ANOVAs. Athletes scored higher than controls on the EAT and on EDI subscales Maturity Fears and Interpersonal Distrust. Athletes scored lower than controls on the EDI subscales Body Dissatisfaction and Ineffectiveness. Athletes scored lower then eating disordered patients on the EAT and all EDI subscales. ANOVAs resulted in an interaction effect where athletes in lean emphasis sports scored higher than athletes in non-lean emphasis sports at the recreational competition level, but this was reversed at the elite competition level for EDI subscales Ineffectiveness, Interpersonal Distrust, Maturity Fears, and Interoceptive Awareness. Although women athletes score higher than controls on some measures of eating disorders they are not at greater risk because their scores remain within the normal range and are similar or lower than controls on drive for thinness, bulimia and body dissatisfaction, correlates central to eating disorders. Women athletes also do not approach the pathology seen in eating disordered patients. Some athlete groups may be more at risk than others, such as athletes participating in sports emphasizing leanness at low competition levels, but the influence from moderator variables is complex and many other variables, age, coaches influence, etc., may confound the relationship in unascertained ways.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered together, the results of these three studies showed that athletes in general are not at increased risk for eating disorder correlates as compared to normative populations. Despite this, the serious psychological, social, and medical consequences of athletes suffering with eating and dieting pathologies must be emphasized (Powers, 1996). Thus, future researchers are encourage to examine factors unique to the sport environment that may place athletes at increased risk for eating and dieting pathologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, a large body of research has examined the issues of eating disorders as well as compensatory behaviors in collegiate competitive athletes. Up to 49.1% of student-athletes engage in disordered eating and compensatory behaviors, while up to 7.1% of athletes have symptoms that reach the threshold of formal psychiatric diagnoses. Greater symptoms are linked to reduced athletic and academic performance, both of which may impact physical and psychosocial functioning later in adulthood. However, most athletes suffer from these symptoms in isolation, as these behaviors are often undetected by athletic trainers and coaches. The purpose of the current study was: (a) to examine the prevalence of both formal eating disorders and disordered eating symptomatology in a sample of collegiate student-athletes; (b) to explore the frequency of compulsive exercise occurrence; (c) to investigate the differences in athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image concerns by gender, sport type, and level of athletic participation; and (d) to assess the relationships among athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image concerns, as well as associations between athletes' age and each of these three variables. In total, 128 NCAA Division I varsity and club athletes completed the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), Compulsive Exercise Test (CET), and Multidimensional Body Self-Relations Questionnaire - Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS). Correlational analysis, Independent two-sample, and Welch's t-tests were conducted to establish statistical significance for the relationships of interest. Out of 128 athletes, 11 athletes (8.6%) scored in the clinically significant range on at least one EDE-Q subscale. Four athletes (3.2%) met criteria for Bulimia Nervosa, 3 athletes (2.4%) met criteria for Binge Eating Disorder, and 2 athletes (1.6%) met criteria for Unspecified Feeding or Eating Disorder. In addition, 40 athletes (31.3%) reported subclinical symptoms of an eating disorder. Nineteen athletes (14.85%) scored above the clinical cut-off score for compulsive exercise behavior. Female athletes reported greater disordered eating symptomatology and body image dissatisfaction than males. In addition, lean-sport athletes had a higher prevalence of maladaptive eating behaviors than non-lean sport athletes. Age was not associated with athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image scores. Also, no differences were found between club and varsity athletes for the same variables. Positive correlations were found between athletes' eating pathology and their compulsive exercise behaviors, suggesting that greater eating disorder symptoms were associated with greater excessive exercise engagement. In contrast to athletes with no symptoms of an eating disorder, athletes with symptoms of an eating disorder reported using exercise as a weight control measure. Higher levels of body image dissatisfaction were also associated with greater eating pathology. This study addressed a number of methodological shortcomings across the body of eating disorder research (e.g., studies with insufficient sample sizes, lack of group comparisons by age and level of athletic participation, and suboptimal psychometric measures) and underscored the need for a new generation of studies. The study also explored the frequency of compulsive exercise, a compensatory behavior which is highly prevalent, but often overlooked among athletes. The study findings may aid coaches, athletic administration, and mental health professionals in identifying at-risk athletes. The study findings also inform the development of prevention and treatment efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image is a person's perception of the relative attractiveness of their body. Often, people see themselves more dramatically different than they actually appear to others. A negative body image can lead to mental disorders such as depression, or eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. Anorexia and bulimia treatment are most successful with early detection of symptoms. Body image is psychological in nature. It is influenced by your self-esteem and self-worth and it in turn, influences your self-esteem and self-worth. It is how you perceive your physical body and how you feel others perceive it. It is not based in the truth, but in what you see as the truth.

Book excerpt: The objective of the current study was to examine the prevalence of eating disorder behaviour among student athletes. Two hundred participants (130 female, 70 male) completed an online survey that assessed participants eating disorder behaviour (EAT26), behaviours consistent with the Adonis Complex (ACQ) and perceived social support(modified MPSS). The results revealed significant differences in eating disorder behaviour between female and male athletes, with females scoring significantly higher. No differences were found between how female and male athletes scored on the Adonis Complex Questionnaire. Significant differences were found between lean-sport and nonlean sport athletes, with lean sport athletes exhibiting more eating disorder behaviours. Furthermore, non-lean sport male athletes were found to score significantly higher than lean-sport male athletes for the Adonis Complex. Significant differences were also found across club and varsity sports, with club athletes exhibiting significantly more eating disorder behaviours than varsity athletes. Perceived social support was found to be negatively correlated to eating disorder behaviour, and when considering gender variables, level of competition and type of sport, accounted for unique variance in eating disorder behaviour. These results suggest that athletes are susceptible to negative mental health outcomes, and eating behaviours vary among athletes and sport type. The results highlight the importance of having support systems in place for student athletes and increasing awareness of athletic staff and coaches as to the seriousness and prevalence of eating disorder behaviours among their student athletes.
