This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there have been many studies examining the relationship between sports demands and eating disorders, the specific risk factors underlying the development of these disorders have been debated. The purpose of this study was to expand on the existing literature, and Petrie, Anderson, and Neumann's model (2011) in particular, by examining the notion of perfectionistic self-presentation in relation to various other risk factors leading to the development of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors within the female running population.

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.
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 Eating Disorder Diagnosis and the Female Athlete written by Alexandra Jo Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female athletes have been established as a high-risk group for disordered eating due to the high prevalence rates of clinical (i.e., 1.9% to 19.9%) and subclinical eating disorders (i.e., 7.1% to 49.2%). To date, only a few studies have examined the long-term stability of eating disorders in collegiate female athletes, a design that will allow examination of change in prevalence rates over time. Additionally, researchers have attempted to identify psychosocial risk factors in the development of disordered eating, but short time frames (e.g., competitive season, one year) during which data was collected have limited their findings. The current study investigated the progression in prevalence of eating disorder classification (i.e., eating disordered [ED], subclinical ED, asymptomatic), pathogenic weight control behaviors (e.g., laxative use, vomiting), and the predictive ability of psychosocial risk factors (e.g., body dissatisfaction, negative affect) from the time in which female athletes were active collegiate competitors (Time 1) to a time six years later, in which the women were retired (Time 2). By Time 2, the women were categorized as asymptomatic (69.9%), subclinical ED (26.9%), and clinical ED (3.1%). The prevalence of those who were disordered (i.e., either subclinical or clinical ED) increased from 22.8% (Time 1) to 30.1% (Time 2). The athletes, both as active competitors and retired, reported using exercise and dieting/fasting as the most frequent forms of weight control, but to a much lesser degree when retired. The full model explained 14.9% to 21.1% of the variance in disordered eating categories, and correctly classified 73.6% of the athletes in the sample. Dietary intent and sadness significantly predicted their being classified in the disordered eating group. Early intervention efforts that address eating, body image concerns, proper nutrition, and how to eat healthfully when athletes are competing are important and may help to alleviate future distress. Additional clinical implications and limitations are discussed.

Download or read book Effect of Body Image Awareness Program on Weight Satisfaction in NCAA Division I Female Athletes written by Derionne J. Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image and body satisfaction are consistently cited as the main causes for disordered eating patterns and clinical eating disorders. While there has been sufficient research regarding the causes leading to disordered eating behaviors, research regarding intervention and prevention programs for at-risk populations has been lacking. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a body image awareness program on weight satisfaction in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I female athletes. Sixteen athletes (age 19±1.01 years) from five sporting teams were randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group, participated in a 6-week body awareness program. Surveys were administered at the beginning and end of the intervention period, and data was analyzed measure any differences in body satisfaction using a paired sample T-test. The percentage of athletes in the intervention group who indicated that they were satisfied with their current weight increased from 44% at the beginning of the intervention to 78% after competing the body image awareness program while the control group’s satisfaction percentage decreased from 71% to 57%. On a scale of 1-6 (1=Extremely Dissatisfied; 6=Extremely Satisfied), participants in the intervention program reported an increase in weight satisfaction from 3.89 to 4.33 at the completion of the program while the control group showed no statistically significant changes. Using another rating scale for dissatisfaction (0=Not at all dissatisfied; 6=Markedly), participants in the intervention group reported a decrease in weight dissatisfaction from 1.11 to 0.67, while this number increased in the control group from 1.86 to 2.43 over the span of the intervention period. These results provided some support of the efficacy of this program on weight satisfaction in NCAA Division I athletes, though not statistically significant.

Download or read book The Relationship Between the Susceptibility of Eating Disorders Self esteem and Body Image in Female Collegiate Student athletes written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates athletes participating in competitive sports may be at a higher risk for developing an eating disorder than non-athletes (Costin, 2007). A variety of factors may lead to an eating disorder. This study looked at the relationship between the susceptibility to eating disorders, self-esteem, and body image and Division I, Division II, and Division III female collegiate student-athletes, and it considers whether competition level was a factor for developing an eating disorder. In this study, Division I, Division II, and Division III female athletes were asked to complete a questionnaire that included three subscales of the EDI-2, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Body Cathexis, in order to determine the eating and exercising attitudes of female student-athletes. The study's findings showed that there was not a relationship between a student-athletes' competition level and their susceptibility to eating disorders; however, there was a relationship between student-athletes' self-esteem level and body image satisfaction level and their susceptibility to eating disorders. It is recommended athletic departments test their student-athletes' levels of self-esteem and body image in order to set up appropriate interventions programs for athletes who may be susceptible to eating disorders due to their self-esteem levels and/or body image satisfaction levels.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 $

Download or read book The Relationship Between Body Image and Eating Patterns in Collegiate Cross Country Runners written by Justine Myers and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross country running environment places an increased emphasis on body size that can lead to manipulation of eating behaviors to obtain the perceived ideal competitive body. Understanding body image within/outside the sport of cross country running may give insight into development of negative body image and/or disordered eating. A quasi-experiment was conducted using a convenience sample of collegiate cross-country runners competing at Illinois NCAA colleges (n=85; 30 male, 55 female). Participants completed the Body Image Assessment Scale -- Body Dimensions (BIAS-BD), Contextual Body Image Questionnaire for Athletics (CBIQA), and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q). Related and independent-samples t-tests, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks, Spearman Rank Order Correlations, ANOVAs, and Mann Whitney U-tests were ran. The results revealed that collegiate cross country runners displayed significant body dissatisfaction (p = 0.000) and perceived an underweight BMI to be ideal for their sport. Runners tended to view themselves as heavier when compared to the standards of their sport (Mdn = 4.25) than the standards of the general public ( Mdn = 3.83), Z = 2,016.0, p = 0.000. Competitive body image in terms of thin-fat self (r s = 0.699, p = 0.000) and thin-fat others ( rs = 0.621, p = 0.000) body image subscales had the strongest correlations with disordered eating.
