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.

  • Author : Catherine M. Gordon
  • Publisher : Springer
  • Release : 2014-10-28
  • ISBN : 148997525X
  • Pages : 187 pages

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.

Book The Developmental Psychopathology of Eating Disorders

Download or read book The Developmental Psychopathology of Eating Disorders written by Linda Smolak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although eating problems--ranging from body dissatisfaction and dieting to anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa--can begin and typically have their roots in childhood, theory and research in developmental psychopathology and developmental psychology have not received substantial attention in eating disorders research. This book provides crucial background material from both fields, and then makes direct applications to numerous aspects of the field of eating disorders including theory, research, treatment, and primary prevention. This book was born out of a transaction between frustration and optimism. The frustrations reflected the limitations of current knowledge about eating problems and disorders. Etiological "causes" which are sensitive and specific to eating disorders have been elusive. Although there is some understanding of risk factors, little is known about protective factors. This has made prevention, among other things, difficult. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying the association between risk factors and disordered eating are poorly understood. For example, it is known that women are at greater risk than men are, but clinicians are hard- pressed to get beyond gender-based speculations and demonstrate why this is true. The optimism grows from familiarity with the field of developmental psychopathology. It seems evident that this approach has much to offer the field of eating disorders. This book is an early step in the integration of developmental psychopathology into theorizing, research, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders. It addresses four specific goals: * to introduce the principles and methodologies of developmental psychopathology, * to review the work of developmental psychologists in several major areas of behavior relevant to understanding the causes, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders, * to apply developmental psychopathology principles to the area of eating disorders, both in the form of theoretical models and in specific areas/issues raised by developmental psychopathology, and * to discuss the implications of developmental approaches for prevention programs and treatments.

Book Eating Disorders Among Female Athletes

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.

Book EATING DISORDER AMONG FEMALE PLAYERS

Download or read book EATING DISORDER AMONG FEMALE PLAYERS written by Dr. Sunil Bhotmange & Dr. Ajay Karkare and published by Ashok Yakkaldevi. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book gives a nice summary of the current state of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries. It is particularly useful for sports medicine fellows and residents with an interest in athletes and active patients." ---Doody's Review Service, 3 stars Bone stress injuries are commonly seen in athletes and active individuals across a full spectrum of physical activity, age, and gender. While most overuse injuries can be addressed through non-operative care, injuries may progress to full fractures that require surgery if misdiagnosed or not correctly managed. Written by leaders in sports medicine including physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopaedics, endocrinology and allied health professionals of biomechanics, physical therapy and dietetics, Bone Stress Injuries offers state-of-the-art guidelines and up-to-date science and terminology to practitioners. Using a holistic approach to understand the management of bone stress injuries, this book highlights specific considerations by injury, gender, and risk factor to ensure that a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed to optimize bone health, neuromuscular re-education, gait mechanics, and injury prevention. Organized into four parts, opening chapters cover the general need-to-know topics, including clinical history, imaging, and risk factors including biological and biomechanical factors. The book proceeds anatomically through the body from upper extremity to foot and ankle injuries, with each chapter underscoring diagnostic and treatment strategies specific to that region. Chapters dedicated to special populations discuss the differences in injury evaluation and management according to age, gender, and military background. Final chapters review the prevention of injuries and examine both common and novel treatment strategies, such as medications, nutrition, gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other interventions. Invaluable in its scope and approach, Bone Stress Injuries is the go-to resource for sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, and primary care providers who manage the care of athletes and individuals leading active lifestyles. Key Features: Promotes evidence-based practice for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries Covers specific anatomy that is prone to bone stress injuries with dedicated chapters on upper and lower extremities, pelvis and hip, spine, and foot and ankle Considers evaluation and management differences according to specific populations of pediatric, male, female, and military personnel Discusses emerging strategies to treat bone stress injuries, such as gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other non-pharmacological treatments

Book Athletes  Risk of Developing Eating Disorders

Download or read book Athletes Risk of Developing Eating Disorders written by Sarah R. Shelby and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. 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.
