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 Social Pressures and Body Image as Contributors to Eating Habits Among Collegiate Women Athletes by : Jill M. Mallin
Download or read book Social Pressures and Body Image as Contributors to Eating Habits Among Collegiate Women Athletes written by Jill M. Mallin and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have often stated that when examining the development of eating disorders, it is fruitful to take a multi-dimensional approach in order to identify the role of several contributing factors. Unfortunately, not only has this framework been used all too rarely in the general research on eating disorders, it has hardly ever been used when looking at the development of disordered eating among athletes. To this end, relationships among self-reported symptoms of disordered eating, body image dissatisfaction, and two types of perceived pressure for thinness (social and athletic) were investigated in a sample of 206 women collegiate athletes from two Division I schools, representing 12 different sports. A series of regression analyses, and a test of mediation, were used to analyze the data. It was hypothesized that body image dissatisfaction and perceived pressure for thinness would each account for a significant amount of variance in symptoms of disordered eating, and that body image dissatisfaction would mediate the relationship between both kinds of perceived pressure for thinness and disordered eating. Support was garnered for several of the hypotheses. Specifically, the independent variables of body image dissatisfaction, social pressure for thinness, and athletic pressure for thinness each uniquely accounted for variance in disordered eating. Somewhat differing from the hypothesized relationship, body image dissatisfaction functioned as a partial mediator, rather than a full mediator, in the relationship between social pressure for thinness and disordered eating, as well as in the relationship between athletic pressure for thinness and disordered eating. Additional exploratory analyses indicated that athletic pressure did not account for additional variance in disordered eating above and beyond that accounted for by social pressure for thinness. Further, significant differences emerged on the variables of bulimia and athletic pressure for thinness when comparing individual sports and when comparing lean (e.g., cross-country, track, swimming, diving, gymnastics) vs. nonlean (e.g., rifle, tennis, golf, basketball, softball, volleyball, soccer) sports. Therefore, all three variables (i.e., body image dissatisfaction, social pressure for thinness, and athletic pressure for thinness) were supported in the role they play in the development of disordered eating among women athletes. The finding of partial mediation of these relationships provides support for the continued examination and clarification of how these variables all uniquely contribute to this development.
Book Synopsis Eating Disorders in Sport by : Ron A. Thompson
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 Effect of Body Image Awareness Program on Weight Satisfaction in NCAA Division I Female Athletes by : Derionne J. Brooks
Download or read book Effect of Body Image Awareness Program on Weight Satisfaction in NCAA Division I Female Athletes written by Derionne J. Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image and body satisfaction are consistently cited as the main causes for disordered eating patterns and clinical eating disorders. While there has been sufficient research regarding the causes leading to disordered eating behaviors, research regarding intervention and prevention programs for at-risk populations has been lacking. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a body image awareness program on weight satisfaction in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I female athletes. Sixteen athletes (age 19±1.01 years) from five sporting teams were randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group, participated in a 6-week body awareness program. Surveys were administered at the beginning and end of the intervention period, and data was analyzed measure any differences in body satisfaction using a paired sample T-test. The percentage of athletes in the intervention group who indicated that they were satisfied with their current weight increased from 44% at the beginning of the intervention to 78% after competing the body image awareness program while the control group’s satisfaction percentage decreased from 71% to 57%. On a scale of 1-6 (1=Extremely Dissatisfied; 6=Extremely Satisfied), participants in the intervention program reported an increase in weight satisfaction from 3.89 to 4.33 at the completion of the program while the control group showed no statistically significant changes. Using another rating scale for dissatisfaction (0=Not at all dissatisfied; 6=Markedly), participants in the intervention group reported a decrease in weight dissatisfaction from 1.11 to 0.67, while this number increased in the control group from 1.86 to 2.43 over the span of the intervention period. These results provided some support of the efficacy of this program on weight satisfaction in NCAA Division I athletes, though not statistically significant.
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 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.
Download or read book Self-Weighing written by Kayla Carrigan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
