Eating disorders are a common psychological disorder with athletes being at a higher risk. The rates of clinical and subclinical (i.e. subthreshold, partial diagnosis, or other specified feeding and eating disorder in DSM-5). There are several sport-specific risk factors that increase the prevalence rate of clinical and subclinical eating disorders and body image concerns. Several eating disorder development models exist for the general population, but one specific sport specific factor: coaches, has been left out, despite their significant impact on athletes. This study examined the relationship between coaching behaviors, eating disorder symptomology, and body image concerns. Potential moderators of teammate pressures, self-esteem, and performance pressures were also examined. 160 NCAA Division 1 student-athletes completed the survey. Results demonstrated a significant relationship between coaching behavior and eating disorder symptomology and body dissatisfaction. Additionally, teammate pressures were found to moderate the relationship between coaching behaviors and eating disorder symptomology. Clinical implications, limitations, and future research directions were discussed.

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.

The current study assessed the associations between disordered eating, excessive exercise, and contextual body image within a sample of Division I college student-athletes. Sixty-five student-athletes anonymously completed an online survey consisting of a series of eating, exercise, and body image related assessments followed by open-ended questions regarding their motivation to workout and overall student-athlete and college experience. Results indicated that there was no significant association between excessive exercise and disordered eating (r = .19, p = .130; two-tailed), however, there was a significant association between athletic identity and excessive exercise (r = .433, p = .0003). Point biserial correlations and Welch sample t-tests revealed that gender had a significant association with disordered eating (rpb = .324, n = 65, p = .009) however, sport-type did not (rpb = .044, n = 65, p = .729). The current study is consistent with prior research showing that females score higher on scales of disordered eating behavior than males. Furthermore, this study provides evidence to suggest that female athletes may experience differences with their body image, particularly their shape (rpb = .256, n = 65, p = .04), in different contexts (i.e., in daily life context) compared to male athletes. Follow up research should continue to examine the impact of athletic identity, excessive exercise, and disordered eating for all athletes regardless of sport-type and gender.

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.

Significance: Recent research shows that disordered eating (DE) is commonly found across colleges in the United States, especially in the student athlete population; yet many cases go undetected and untreated due to subclinical symptoms, lack of awareness and education on specific behaviors. Those competing in weight-related and "lean" sports are reported to be at an even higher risk of developing DE behaviors. The short-term and long-term health effects are damaging to the athlete's mental and physical health with the potential for the latter's to be life threatening. College coaches have daily interaction with these student athletes and can aid in identifying changes in an athlete's behaviors or performance that can be due to DE. With proper education and training, coaches may be better able to identify and refer athletes to health professionals who may be at risk or engaged in DE. Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to identify the prevalence of DE in IU student athletes and examine correlations related to sport, sex, and/or academic standing. This study would also assess IU athletic coaches' perceptions of DE prevalence, measure detection capabilities, and responses to athletes with perceived DE. Methods: Through the questionnaire, participants' demographics, weight status, body image, and eating behaviors will be assessed in all IU student athletes. The data collected will be analyzed to identify prevalence of DE and at-risk behaviors in IU student athletes as well as the correlates. A separate online questionnaire will collect data on knowledge and perceptions of DE in IU coaches. This data will be analyzed to identify the nutrition education needs of IU coaches in order to better support the efforts to reduce DE prevalence in this population. Expected Results/Interpretation: This study will serve as a basis to provide tailored nutrition education to IU student athletes and coaches with the goal to reduce current prevalence of DE and minimize new DE cases in current and incoming IU student athletes. The collected data is expected to provide insight into current eating habits of IU athletes and the prevalence of DE. Analysis of the data will identify whether specific sub population of student athletes at IU have a higher prevalence of DE as well as correlation factors. Coaches' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding prevalence, concern, ability to detect and seek outside help will be analyzed, which will provide a basis for the IU Nutrition & Dietetics department to develop education, training, and resources for the coaches. Conclusion/Implications: Implications of this study may include the development of screening tools for current and incoming IU student athletes and nutrition education sessions designed for the athletes and coaches. It would also support future research in this area including investigating prevalence of DE in student athletes at neighboring universities in the Philadelphia area to compare larger scale results. Overall, the research data collected would identify areas where improvements can be made utilizing Immaculata University's Nutrition Education department in an effort to reduce prevalence and minimize new cases of DE in IU student athletes.

The current study aimed to identify risk and protective behaviors for the development of unhealthy eating behaviors (e.g. disordered eating and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain) in college freshmen athletes. Specifically, we examined: 1) if disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain in freshmen athletes increase over a 3-month observation period, and 2) whether specific baseline characteristics serve as either risk or protective factors in the development of disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain during the observation period. In our sample of 69 student athletes who completed surveys at both time points, we found overall increases in both concern about eating behaviors and engagement in healthy eating behaviors increased over the three-month time period. Many of the hypothesized risk and protective factors studied did not emerge as significant predictors of change in eating behavior, However, we did find that athletes participating in a lean sport (i.e., a sport where having a thin body is seen as a competitive advantage) were actually less likely to develop disordered eating behaviors than their peers participating in other types of sports. Higher baseline nutritional knowledge also appeared to protect against the development of eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain. Lastly, we found that wearing a uniform that increases shape or weight concern as well as participating in our “other” (non-lean, non-aesthetic, and non-weight division) category of sports were risk factors for developing disordered eating behaviors. These findings could ultimately help identify athletes at-risk for the development of both disordered eating behaviors and eating behaviors that facilitate weight gain and could inform the development of targeted preventative treatments.

This comprehensive, up-to-date book presents the latest research and applied practice to address all of the key issues relating to sport and eating disorders. The book begins by looking at the underlying factors behind the development of disordered eating. It goes on to consider evaluation, diagnosis and treatment across a wide range of sports and assesses the various types of treatment available and the practicalities of implementing treatment programmes. A whole chapter is devoted to the role of the internet, both as a source of information and possible treatment, for athletes with these disorders. The final chapter provides four practical examples and case studies of disordered eating in high-risk sports.

Abstract: Researchers suggest the strongest influences on body image are sociocultural factors. The pressure to be thin and feminine creates anxiety, which may lead to risky dietary and exercise behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that lead to risky eating and exercise behavior in female athletes. NCAA Division III female college athletes, 18-23, participated. A web-based host site where respondents obtained a copy of the survey was used; participants completed and submitted the survey electronically. Outcome variables were excessive exercise and disordered eating. Predictor variables included: body image, social physique anxiety (SPA), athletic identity, traditional sex role, internalization of sociocultural attitudes, self-esteem, and participant demographics. SPA was a significant predictor for risky eating (Nagelkerke R2 = .124). The linear combination of the three variables (self-esteem, body mass index, and SPA) were significant predictors for excessive exercise (R2 = .475, F = (3,522) = 159.096, p = .000, [eta]2 = .477.) It was observed that those with a higher SPA also had higher BMI's and were more likely to perform in risky eating behaviors than excessive exercise.

"Negative body image puts athletes at a higher susceptibility for eating disorder development than nonathletes (NEDA, 2018). Many factors influence how athletes perceive their body, such as family, peers, coaches, and the media. The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the body image of female Division III collegiate athletes, an understudied population, 2) explore four sociocultural variables that may influence the body image satisfaction of these athletes: Family, peers, the media, and coaches, and 3) summarize and analyze the existing literature on the neurobiology of body image as it relates to eating disorders among athletes, including comorbid mental health diagnoses, dysregulation of appetite reward patterns and behaviors, and the Female Athlete Triad. Participants were 115 female student-athletes at North Central College who completed measures related to body image, sociocultural pressures, and the coach-athlete relationship. Overall, participants felt larger than their ideal figure, indicative of body imaged is satisfaction. Regression analyses found that family and media predicted body image satisfaction across daily life and sport domains for athletes. The coach-athlete relationship did not predict body image satisfaction in this population."--Abstract

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
