“…Still, 22.2% of college athletes met subclinical characteristics for bulimia, anorexia, and body dysmorphia (Sanford-Martens et al, 2005). Additionally, college wrestlers as compared to other male college athletes and non-athletes are more than twice as likely to develop an eating disorder (Bratland-Sanda & Sundgot-Borgen, 2013;Byrne & McLean, 2002).…”

“…Assim, pesquisadores ressaltam a possibilidade de atletas que utilizam comportamentos de risco para os transtornos alimentares (TA) atenuarem o desempenho esportivo 6,7 . São considerados comportamentos de risco para os TA: restrição alimentar por longos períodos, uso de medicamentos (laxantes, diuréticos e inibidores de apetite) para a rápida redução de peso corporal, autoindução de vômito e exercício físico extenuante 8 . Estudos apontam que aproximadamente 30% dos atletas do sexo feminino adotam os comportamentos de risco para os TA como medida para diminuir ou manter o peso corporal ao longo da temporada competitiva 7,9 .…”

“…Por conseguinte, foram formuladas algumas hipóteses em função dos apontamentos de duas revisões sistemáticas 6,8 : a) nadadoras com grande frequência de uso dos comportamentos de risco para os TA têm menor desempenho nas provas dos 100m e 200m livre e; b) restrição alimentar, comportamentos alimentares compulsivos e purgativos estão relacionados negativamente ao desempenho nas provas de 100m e 200m livre em nadadoras.…”
