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.
