Eating Disorders and Body Image in Athletes[edit | edit source]
Athletes may have a more positive body image than nonathletes. A meta-analytic review found a small effect size which indicated athletes had a more positive body image than nonathletes. The review found no difference between females or males, the type of athlete, age or body mass index [1]. Those who exercise regularly like athletes have been found to have a more positive body image than those who do not [2]
Despite athletes overall having a more positive body image than nonathletes, they may be more likely to develop an eating disorder. Researchers compared the pevalence of eating disorders between 1620 male and female elite athletes with 1696 male and female controls. They found 13.5% of athletes had eating disorders compared with 4.6% of the controls. Females athletes were also more likely to have eating disorders than males. Those in aesthetic sports such as gymnastics, dancing, figure skating, aerobics and diving or sports with weight classes were more likely to have an eating disorder than those in endurance, technical or ball game sports [3].
