    Elite athletes face unique pressures that can affect eating behaviors. A new theoretical model identifies key indicators like weight sensitivity and performance pressure to help detect disordered eating in sports.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Psychology
    • Eating Disorder Research

    Background:

    • Prevalence of eating disorders in elite athletes is debated.
    • General eating disorder models are inadequate for athletes' specific needs.
    • Elite sports demand unique training, body types, and behaviors for performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Develop a tailored theoretical model for eating disorders in elite sports.
    • Identify indicators of disordered eating behaviors in athletes.
    • Improve early detection and prevention of harm in athletes.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical model development based on existing evidence.
    • Identification of key indicators: weight sensitivity, performance pressure, body image, attitudes towards training, and fatigue.
    Keywords:

  • Analysis of potential relationships between these indicators.

    • Main Results:

    • A theoretical model was developed to differentiate healthy athletic behaviors from disordered eating.
    • The model specifies relationships between key indicators influencing athletes' eating behaviors.
    • It provides a framework for understanding the unique risk factors in elite sports.

    Conclusions:

    • A sport-specific model is crucial for understanding and addressing eating disorders in athletes.
    • The model aids in identifying athletes at risk and improving psychological support.
    • Further research can use this model for scientific validation and intervention development.
