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.

Download or read book The Female Athlete Triad written by Catherine M. Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

Download or read book Male Athletes and Eating Disorders Underrepresented and Underreported written by Julie S. Freedman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of all mental health disorders (Fichter & Quadflieg, 2016). The literature has been mixed regarding whether athletes are more at-risk for developing eating disorders than the general public. However, research suggests that unique sport specific risk factors and pressures can make it more likely for an athlete to develop an eating disorder (Arthur-Cameselle, & Quatromoni, 2014a; Arthur-Cameselle, Sossin, & Quatromoni, 2017; Petrie & Rogers, 2001; Petrie & Sherman, 1999). Within the current literature on athletes and eating disorders, females dominate the focus of the research, resulting in little information about male athletes. While some studies have noted that prevalence rates of eating disorders in athletes are higher among females than among males, small sample sizes and non-validated scales have been used in these studies, potentially skewing the results (Petrie & Greenleaf, 2007). Additionally, some information indicates that eating disorders in male athletes may be more challenging to identify and treat, which could indicate actual prevalence rates of eating disorders in males are higher than those reported in the literature (DeFeciani, 2016). The gap in the literature largely leaving out male athletes makes it challenging for clinicians, trainers, medical staff, coaches, parents, and teammates to understand and recognize eating disorders in male athletes and to know how best to help. Male athletes with eating disorders have been overlooked in the literature. Prevalence rates of eating disorders favor female athletes and most studies have focused on the experience of female athletes and factors that contribute to their eating disorders. However, evidence suggests that male athletes also experience eating disorders and they may have unique, gender specific risk factors that contribute to their disorder and serve as barriers to treatment (Bramon- Bosch et al., 2000; Feldman & Meyer, 2007; Freeman, 2005). Additional research focusing on male athletes with eating disorders is needed, so effective ways to help treat and prevent eating disorders in this population may be developed. Understanding how male athletes experience and conceptualize their eating disorder in the context of their sport is the first step in developing identification and screening methods to diagnose eating disorders and effective treatment and prevention methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders provides sound therapeutic advice based on current research and clinical practice. It includes detailed discussions of various aspects of assessment and treatment, featuring up-to-date evidence- and consensus-based information. Ranging from the determination of initial treatment approaches to problems posed by unique groups of patients, it marks the first APPI volume specifically directed toward the clinical management of patients with eating disorders -- and the first book to focus squarely on what psychiatrists need to know about the clinical assessment and management of patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, and obesity. In these pages, preeminent psychiatric authorities on eating disorders offer practical advice, research results, and the fruits of clinical experience. In addition to thorough extended discussion and coverage of all assessment and treatment topics encompassed by the third edition of the American Psychiatric Association's "Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Eating Disorders," the book includes topics such as: night eating and related syndromes, obesity and weight management in relation to psychiatric medications, psychiatric aspects of bariatric surgery, and management of patients with chronic, intractable eating disorders. Clinical vignettes discuss specific techniques and strategies to help anchor the discussions in the decision-making situations faced by practitioners every day. Among the book's features: coverage of a wide range of diagnoses, from new onset to very chronic conditions consideration of comorbid psychiatric, substance abuse, and medical conditions applications to outpatient, ambulatory, and inpatient settings a range of treatment strategies, including biological, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and family treatments discussion of special concerns involving college athletes and patients from different ethnic or cultural backgrounds inclusion of APA Practice Guideline tables as well as the most recent version of the Eating Disorders Questionnaire The insights garnered from this book will enable clinicians to: better make nuanced assessments of patients with eating disorders present the best available evidence about treatment options to patients and their families initiate and conduct treatment interventions with the majority of patients they encounter Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders is an invaluable tool for psychiatrists that complements other resources for all professionals who see patients with these challenging conditions, whether mental health clinicians, primary care physicians, dieticians, psychologists, or social workers.
Download or read book Eating Disorders Among Female Athletes written by Erin Burrer and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female athletes are at greater risk for developing eating disorders than are nonathletes of similar age (Adams, Affenito, Anderson, & McNulty, 2001, p. 886). Many athletes are under tremendous pressure to succeed in their particular sport. Coaches may say things to an athlete to make her feel the need to lose weight in order to perform better. These comments may lead to the beginning of an eating disorder in a female athlete. The side affects of an individual with an eating disorder may vary. If they are anemic (low levels of iron in the blood), they may collapse during practice or a game because they are so weak. They may become dizzy and light-headed because of dehydration. Given the need to clarify why athletes may harm their body in order to improve performance, the purpose of this paper is to present the problems concerning eating disorders. In presenting the facts known thus far, the researcher hopes to stimulate further research in areas not greatly covered at this point.
Download or read book Critical Elements that Affect Collegiate Athletes Risk of Eating Disorder and Performance Perfectionism written by Rachel A. Gaines and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined how sexual orientation, gender, collegiate division, and type of sport affected risk of developing an eating disorder and performance perfectionism in collegiate athletes. It was hypothesized that female athletes and Division I athletes would exhibit a higher level of perceived pressures and a higher risk of developing an eating disorder than male athletes and other divisions, respectively. In addition, homosexual athletes and athletes in aesthetic sports would report greater levels of perceived performance pressures and would express greater risk of developing an eating disorder than their counterparts. Methods: Two hundred and seventy-seven collegiate athletes (57 males; 210 females) from Division I (N = 64), II (N = 79), and III (N = 119) colleges and universities participated in this study. Participants completed a demographics questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test-16, and the Sport-Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale to evaluate the eating attitudes and performance perfection of collegiate athletes. Factorial MANOVAs were used to examine the mean vector scores of perfectionism between genders and divisions I, II, and between sexual orientation and type of sports. Factorial ANOVAs were used to examine mean differences of risk of developing an eating disorder between genders and among athletes in divisions as well as sexual orientation and type of sports. A hierarchical multiple regression was used to predict eating disorders from gender and other independent variables. Results: A significant difference in PS and PPP were found between Divisions I and III athletes. Significant differences in COM, PS, PPP, and PCP were found between athletes in aesthetic and non-aesthetic sports participants. Likewise, significant differences were found for COM, PPP, and PCP based on sexual orientation. Female athletes had a significantly greater risk of developing an eating disorder than male athletes, and they are at a significantly higher risk of developing an eating disorder in non-aesthetic and aesthetic sports than male athletes. A moderate positive correlation between risk of developing an eating disorder and COM and between COM and PCP was found. Gender was found to be a significant predictor of eating disorders in athletes. Conclusion: Extrinsic and personal pressures influence collegiate athletes to pursue perfectionism within sport that could negatively affect psychological, physical, and emotional health. Gender differences in eating attitudes suggest eating disorders remain more prominent in female athletes; however, pathological eating disorders are still present in male athletes. These results suggest that training and awareness programs must be established within athletic departments to reduce discrimination, promote early detection, and create an open environment conducive to all members participating.
