The current study examined associations among sports participation (SP), athletic identity (AI), weight status, and eating pathology, and whether these relations differed by gender. Data come from male and female first-year college students who participated in the Tufts Longitudinal Health Study (TLHS) between 1999-2007 (N=712). Relations among SP, AI, actual and perceived weight statuses, Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) subscale scores, and indices of body shape concern and restrictive eating were examined with hierarchical ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. Associations between SP and eating pathology among females were moderated by perceived weight status. By contrast, relations between males' EDI subscales scores and SP were moderated by ethnicity, as well as by actual weight status. Our findings support that sports participation alone neither promotes nor protects against eating pathology among males and females.
本研究考察了运动参与（SP）、运动认同（AI）、体重状况和饮食病理学之间的关联，以及这些关系是否因性别而异。数据来自于 1999-2007 年间参加塔夫茨纵向健康研究（TLHS）的男女一年级大学生（N=712）。通过分层普通最小二乘法（OLS）回归，研究了 SP、AI、实际和感知体重状况、饮食障碍量表（EDI）分量表评分以及身体形状关注和限制进食指数之间的关系。女性 SP 和饮食病理学之间的关联受到感知体重状况的调节。相比之下，男性 EDI 分量表评分与 SP 之间的关系受到种族以及实际体重状况的调节。我们的研究结果表明，运动参与本身既不能促进也不能预防男女的饮食病理学。
