Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders and body image problems are quite common among athletes, and this may be a pointer to a bad issue that is often overlooked. Eating disorders have been discovered but most times kept a secret in most sports. It may be undiagnosed or concealed merely due to the competitive nature of the games. Athletes may engage in harmful nutritional practices, strict diets or dietary supplements. Purging, restrictive diets and bingeing have devastating impacts on the general well-being of such people. These acts are carried out to improve their performances, but the results may often prove counterproductive. The performance of athletes suffering from eating disorders may spike and then a downhill spiral which leads to further health problems arises. If left untreated or overlooked, it can be life-threatening. Just like these problems are found in the general populace, so it also affects a significant number of athletes. This book aims to bring to the fore simple and easy to practice diagnostic practices for both the athlete, coaches and people around high-performance athletes who are often under significant stress to up their output levels.

Book Synopsis Athletes' Risk of Developing Eating Disorders by : Sarah R. Shelby
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.
Book Synopsis Impact on American Higher Education by : Rob Suglia, Ph.d.
Download or read book Impact on American Higher Education written by Rob Suglia, Ph.d. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) category is the APA's third and final eating disorder. Since becoming a clinical category in 1994, EDNOS is the most frequently diagnosed eating disorder - occurring in far greater numbers than anorexia and bulimia combined. Since males rarely meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia, EDNOS is often the only category into which males fall. The higher degree of difficulty in identifying males with eating disorders compared to females is further complicated when males are involved in athletics. The training norms practiced become an ideal means to conceal eating disorder behaviors. As the preferred behavior of eating disordered males, the display of excessive and obligatory exercise can be the best indicator of an eating disorder. Colleges must begin to notice the "warning signs" of their male student-athletes. Dr. Suglia's study considered a wide range of sports with male athletes finding more than half had EDNOS.

Potential moderators of teammate pressures, self-esteem, and performance pressures were also examined. 160 NCAA Division 1 student-athletes completed the survey.
