Eating Disorders In Sport

Subscribe

Eating disorders are complex, serious and multi-faceted medical conditions. Whether or not they occur in a sporting context, they will seriously compromise the health of the sufferer and can be life-threatening.

Complex problems seldom have simple solutions or explanations. Nonetheless, measures can be incorporated into the support that athletes receive that will reduce the risk of problems developing. These are principally described in the sections on coaching practice, nutritional advice and making weight.
