Physical activity appears to be one of the behaviours of patients
with anorexia nervosa that may worsen over time and contributes to
maintaining the dieting disorder. Seasonal variation in physical
activity has been demonstrated. The current thesis therefore
addresses three main questions: a) do Australian and German female
students perceive seasonal variation in physical activity in a
similar manner b) does physical activity vary across the seasons in
female patients with anorexia nervosa compared to healthy female
controls and c) what assessment and treatment strategies are
implemented by clinical specialists? In summary, seasonal variation
in physical activity was reported by Australian and German
students. Further, it was demonstrated that time spent in some
components of physical activity (moderate intensity activities and
exercise) varied across the seasons in the patient-group.
Comprehensive assessment tools and published exercise programmes
were rarely used by the clinical specialists, indicating the need
to extend treatment guidelines to include physical activity and its
seasonal variation.
