Download or read book Eating Disorders in Sport written by Ron A. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 301 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Prevalence of Disordered Eating Behaviors Among Female Collegiate Athletes in Lean and Nonlean Sports by : Krissy R. Stella
Download or read book Prevalence of Disordered Eating Behaviors Among Female Collegiate Athletes in Lean and Nonlean Sports written by Krissy R. Stella and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, females in "lean" versus "nonlean" sports have gained an increased interest to researchers in the collegiate levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of lean and nonlean sport in direct relation with body mass index (BMI), eating disorders, and associated eating disorder symptomology. Fifty-two Utah State University female athletes from cross-country (10), gymnastics (11), soccer (20), and softball (16) participated in this study. Results indicated that there were no significant differences among lean and nonlean sport status, eating disorders, and associated symptomology. Significant differences were only found between soccer and softball, softball and cross-country, and gymnastics and cross-country on mean BMI scores and guessed weight (GW). This study suggests that the likelihood that the popularized classification scheme of "lean" and "nonlean" sports does not work for this current sample or population.

Book excerpt: Elite and collegiate athletes are subpopulations at increased risk for the development of disordered eating and pathogenic weight management strategies; such risks may extend beyond sport participation into sport retirement. As athletes self-weigh, whether during their time in competitive sport or in retirement, it would be expected that they also experience increases in body dissatisfaction and psychosocial distress. Results suggest both a longitudinal impact, as well as continued cross-sectional relationships between SW and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. Specifically, former SW (at Time 1) is related to their levels of body satisfaction in relation to the Body factor and the Overall Body at Time 2. Particularly, athletes who weighed themselves 7+ more times a week reported significantly higher levels of body dissatisfaction on the Overall Body factor and the Body factor than retired athletes who did not self-weigh, all other groups did not differ significantly from each other. Cross-sectional relations were found between current (Time 2) SW and Body Satisfaction (Overall Body, and Body factors), Dietary Restraint, and Bulimic Symptomatology. In all cases, those who engaged in SW 7+ times per week had significantly higher scores than all other groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, a large body of research has examined the issues of eating disorders as well as compensatory behaviors in collegiate competitive athletes. Up to 49.1% of student-athletes engage in disordered eating and compensatory behaviors, while up to 7.1% of athletes have symptoms that reach the threshold of formal psychiatric diagnoses. Greater symptoms are linked to reduced athletic and academic performance, both of which may impact physical and psychosocial functioning later in adulthood. However, most athletes suffer from these symptoms in isolation, as these behaviors are often undetected by athletic trainers and coaches. The purpose of the current study was: (a) to examine the prevalence of both formal eating disorders and disordered eating symptomatology in a sample of collegiate student-athletes; (b) to explore the frequency of compulsive exercise occurrence; (c) to investigate the differences in athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image concerns by gender, sport type, and level of athletic participation; and (d) to assess the relationships among athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image concerns, as well as associations between athletes' age and each of these three variables. In total, 128 NCAA Division I varsity and club athletes completed the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), Compulsive Exercise Test (CET), and Multidimensional Body Self-Relations Questionnaire - Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS). Correlational analysis, Independent two-sample, and Welch's t-tests were conducted to establish statistical significance for the relationships of interest. Out of 128 athletes, 11 athletes (8.6%) scored in the clinically significant range on at least one EDE-Q subscale. Four athletes (3.2%) met criteria for Bulimia Nervosa, 3 athletes (2.4%) met criteria for Binge Eating Disorder, and 2 athletes (1.6%) met criteria for Unspecified Feeding or Eating Disorder. In addition, 40 athletes (31.3%) reported subclinical symptoms of an eating disorder. Nineteen athletes (14.85%) scored above the clinical cut-off score for compulsive exercise behavior. Female athletes reported greater disordered eating symptomatology and body image dissatisfaction than males. In addition, lean-sport athletes had a higher prevalence of maladaptive eating behaviors than non-lean sport athletes. Age was not associated with athletes' disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and body image scores. Also, no differences were found between club and varsity athletes for the same variables. Positive correlations were found between athletes' eating pathology and their compulsive exercise behaviors, suggesting that greater eating disorder symptoms were associated with greater excessive exercise engagement. In contrast to athletes with no symptoms of an eating disorder, athletes with symptoms of an eating disorder reported using exercise as a weight control measure. Higher levels of body image dissatisfaction were also associated with greater eating pathology. This study addressed a number of methodological shortcomings across the body of eating disorder research (e.g., studies with insufficient sample sizes, lack of group comparisons by age and level of athletic participation, and suboptimal psychometric measures) and underscored the need for a new generation of studies. The study also explored the frequency of compulsive exercise, a compensatory behavior which is highly prevalent, but often overlooked among athletes. The study findings may aid coaches, athletic administration, and mental health professionals in identifying at-risk athletes. The study findings also inform the development of prevention and treatment efforts.

Book Synopsis Eating Disorder Diagnosis and the Female Athlete by : Alexandra Jo Thompson
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.

Book Synopsis Disordered Eating Symptoms and Emotional Regulation in Female Collegiate Athletes and Non-athletes by : Gena Suela Wollenberg
Download or read book Disordered Eating Symptoms and Emotional Regulation in Female Collegiate Athletes and Non-athletes written by Gena Suela Wollenberg and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are some of the most challenging mental disorders to treat. Thus recognizing the early signs and symptoms of eating disorders is critical for prevention efforts. Disordered eating is a term used to recognize dyregulated eating patterns that serve as a risk factor for EDs. Risk factors for disordered eating need further investigation in female college students (athletes and non-athletes), including emotional regulation that has been only partly examined in this unique population.Purpose: To explore the prevalence of disordered eating in female collegiate athletes and examine differences by type of athlete (lean and non-lean sports). Additional purposes are to compare the prevalence of disordered eating symptoms between female collegiate athletes and their non-athletic counterparts; to explore the relationship between the individual domains of disordered eating and emotional regulation strategies; to examine emotional regulation, athletic status and family history of eating disorders as potential predictors of disordered eating behaviors in female college students.Methods: A convenience sample of females was recruited at a NCAA Division I University in Midwest of the US. Survey-based data was collected in the classrooms and during athleteic team meetings. Prevalence of disordered eating was measured by the Eating Attitudes Test and the Minnesota Eating Behavior Survey. Emotional regulation was measured by the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS).Results: A total of 527 females participated in this study (151 athletes and 376 non-athletes). The prevalence of disordered eating in athletes was 10.6%, with no differences by type of sport. The prevalence of disordered eating was significantly higher in non-athletes (16.5% vs. 6.6%; p
Book Synopsis Weighing in on Eating Disorders by : Samantha Vavra
Download or read book Weighing in on Eating Disorders written by Samantha Vavra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined collegiate swimming coaches' knowledge and attitudes towards eating disorders and unhealthy weight loss practices within their athletes along with their perceptions of sport specific pressures in swimming. I used a modified version of the 2003 NCAA Questionnaire for Collegiate Coaches of Female Student-Athletes developed and utilized by Sherman, Thompson, Dehass, and Wilfret. I used email to distribute the link to an online version of the survey, and used SPSS to analyze the data. The results suggest that NCAA Division I, II, and III collegiate swimming coaches are aware of the prevalence along with the fact that that athletes do participate in unhealthy weight loss practices and suffer from eating disorders. This study suggests that many coaches are knowledgeable about this topic, but I was unable to conclude whether swimmers experience sport specific pressures that put them at higher risk for or lead to eating disorders. Both participant gender and NCAA division coached were found to present statistically significant differences in survey responses. Despite results being statistically significant, results are consistent with previous research examining eating disorders in sport. Results were not able to conclude if swimmers experience sport specific pressures leading to the development of eating disorders. It is hoped that future research will continue to examine the link between specific sports and the development of ED, as well as focus on providing coaches with more knowledge and education on this topic.

Book Synopsis The Female Athlete Triad by : Catherine M. Gordon
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Eating disorders, a serious public health issue, affect an estimated 8-11 million Americans (Hudson, Hiripi, Pope & Kessler, 2007; National Institutes of Mental Health [NIMH], 2010). The lack of inclusion of diverse minority populations from robustly-designed eating disorder research has produced limitations to the generalizability for theory-based prevention, diagnosis, and treatment programs, particularly among non-Caucasian populations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine eating and exercise behaviors among student-athletes enrolled at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) through application of existing disordered eating, exercise dependence, and body image instruments. Participants: A battery of surveys was disseminated to 601 varsity level athletes enrolled at HBCUs, of which 71% (N = 427) were used in the analysis. Outcomes and Procedures: The main outcomes of interests were eating disorder (ED) risk, exercise dependence (ExD) risk, and orthorexia nervosa (ON) risk, and difference between perceived and ideal body stature. These outcomes were operationalized through application of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS-21), ORTO 15 questionnaire (ORTO 15), and Pulvers and colleagues' (2004) Figural Stimuli. Regression (Logistical and Simple), chi-square, ANOVA/ANCOVA, and simple descriptive statistical analyses served as quantitative means of measurement. Results: Findings revealed that among HBCU student-athletes in this study, 10.8% were at risk for an ED, 10.3% were at risk for ExD, and 66.3% were at risk for ON. With respect to ED and ON risk, between group differences did not exist among most men's sports, while race and academic classification group differences were present among several women's sports. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) construct, attitude, exhibited the largest influence on future intentions to engage in disordered eating among both male (p = .005) and female (p = .001) participants. Significant differences between ideal and perceived body stature exist among female subjects (p
