Research indicates that certain athletes, particularly those in sports that emphasize leanness to enhance performance or appearance (e.g., gymnastics, wrestling, figure skating, diving, and ballet), are at risk for eating disorders. Little is known about the risk for eating disorder symptoms in weight and strength training. It is concluded that, even when mild variants of eating disorders are observed in athletes, they should be given immediate attention because they may severely compromise health and performance. Practical recommendations are made for coaches and trainers to identify the physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms of eating disorders. Finally, suggestions are made for addressing eating disorders in athletes.
研究表明，某些运动员，尤其是那些从事强调瘦身以提高成绩或形象的运动项目（如体操、摔跤、花样滑冰、跳水和芭蕾舞）的运动员，有患饮食失调症的风险。关于体重和力量训练中出现饮食失调症状的风险，人们所知甚少。得出的结论是，即使在运动员中观察到饮食失调的轻微变体，也应立即予以关注，因为它们可能严重损害健康和成绩。针对教练和培训人员提出了切实可行的建议，以识别饮食失调的身体、心理和行为症状。最后，针对解决运动员的饮食失调问题提出了建议。
