Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Eating Disorders

Background:

  • Certain sports emphasizing leanness (gymnastics, wrestling, figure skating, diving, ballet) are known risk factors for eating disorders in athletes.
  • Limited research exists on the prevalence and risk of eating disorder symptoms in athletes participating in weight and strength training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the risk of eating disorders in athletes, particularly in sports emphasizing leanness.
  • To underscore the importance of immediate attention for even mild eating disorder variants in athletes.
  • To provide practical guidance for coaches and trainers in identifying and addressing eating disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research on eating disorders in athletes.
  • Identification of sports with high-risk profiles.

  • Outline of physical, psychological, and behavioral indicators of eating disorders.

    • Main Results:

    • Athletes in sports prioritizing leanness demonstrate a significant risk for developing eating disorders.
    • Mild forms of eating disorders in athletes require prompt medical and psychological intervention.
    • Early detection of symptoms is vital for mitigating negative health and performance consequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Eating disorders pose a serious threat to athlete well-being and competitive ability.
    • Coaches and trainers play a critical role in the early detection and management of eating disorders.
    • A proactive approach involving education and intervention strategies is necessary to support athletes' mental and physical health.
