“…Moreover, the sports environment often influences athletes’ eating behaviors in ways that undermine nutritional adequacy and sabotage well-being and performance (obtaining a sport-specific body type, academic stress, team culture, coach and family expectations, and social perceptions or norms) ( 52 , 53 ). Some types of sport have been shown to be more related to the development of disordered eating and ED, specifically track, cross-country, cycling, swimming, gymnastics, dance, figure skating, and judo ( 18 ), whereas other literature ( 54 , 55 ) suggests that ED in sport are more widespread, do not discriminate by sport, gender or body type, and after quite under-reported, under-diagnosed and under-treated. Pressure from athletes’ teammates or training groups may also play an integral role in the development and maintenance of athletes’ eating/exercise psychopathology with both direct comments about weight and body shape noted as contributing factors, and indirect influences from peer modeling and social media content playing a role ( 54 , 55 ).…”

Many studies report poor adherence to sports nutrition guidelines, but there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of nutrition education and behavior change interventions in athletes. Some studies among athletes demonstrate that nutrition education (NE), often wrongly confused with nutritional counseling (NC), alone is insufficient to result in behavior change. For this reason, a clear distinction between NC and NE is of paramount importance, both in terms of definition and application. NE is considered a formal process to improve a client’s knowledge about food and physical activity. NC is a supportive process delivered by a qualified professional who guides the client(s) to set priorities, establish goals, and create individualized action plans to facilitate behavior change. NC and NE can be delivered both to individuals and groups. To our knowledge, the efficacy of NC provided to athletes has not been comprehensively reviewed. The aim of this study was to investigate the current evidence on the use and efficacy of nutritional counseling within athletes. A systematic literature review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses method. The search was carried out in: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Library between November 2022 and February 2023. Inclusion criteria: recreational and elite athletes; all ages; all genders; NC strategies. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoB 2.0 Cochrane tool. The quality of evidence checking was tested with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool system. From 2,438 records identified, 10 studies were included in this review, with athletes representing different levels of competition and type of sports. The most commonly applied behavior change theory was Cognitive Behavioral Theory. NC was delivered mainly by nutrition experts. The duration of the intervention ranged from 3 weeks to 5 years. Regarding the quality of the studies, the majority of articles reached more than 3 stars and lack of adequate randomization was the domain contributing to high risk of bias. NC interventions induced positive changes in nutrition knowledge and dietary intake consequently supporting individual performance. There is evidence of a positive behavioral impact when applying NC to athletes, with positive effects of NC also in athletes with eating disorders. Additional studies of sufficient rigor (i.e., randomized controlled trials) are needed to demonstrate the benefits of NC in athletes.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022374502.

“…Other findings also seem to partially support the expected relationships. Scott et al, (2020Scott et al, ( , 2021 found with athletes from lean and non-lean sports that relationships with teammates and team connectedness were associated with reduced disordered exercise behavior and that teammate negative influences on eating and exercise psychopathology were mediated by athletes' psychological distress. Perfectionistic strivings have been found to predict engaging in compulsive exercise for mood improvement, whereas perfectionistic concerns have been found to predict compulsive exercise for both avoiding negative affect and weight control among athletes from several sports (Madigan et al, 2017).…”

Exercise addiction (EA) involves excessive concerns for exercise routines, an abusive practice, and the inability to control one’s own behavior, as well as the presence of psychological processes that are typical of behavioral addictions such as abstinence. EA is further associated with an alteration of the individual’s personal, social, and professional functioning and a higher risk for several pathologies, including physical injury, psychological distress, and eating disorders. The present work presents a narrative scoping review of the state of the art and the main findings of the research on EA, with a focus in the athletic population. The prevalence of EA risk, between 1 and 52% and up to 80% when co-occurring with eating disturbances, is also reviewed. Additionally, some of the explanatory models proposed to date and their power and limitations in terms of their capacity for a consensual operationalization and characterization of EA, and thus for the optimal exploration and management of this condition, are discussed. Finally, some deficiencies in the research on EA are noted which are to be addressed to successfully respond to the intervention and prevention needs that occur both in the general context of exercise-sports practice and the specific context of competitive athletes.

“…Así, mientras que los deportistas masculinos tienden a entender el deporte desde una perspectiva competitiva, las deportistas se inclinan a objetivos estéticos y de salud (Lores y Murcia, 2008). Por otra parte, la infl uencia de las redes sociales en contextos deportivo suele ser mayor en las deportistas que en los deportistas (Hazari, 2017;Scott et al, 2021). Entendemos que ambas cuestiones podrían inducir una percepción de TVF dependiente del género.…”

La tecnología Vaporfly (TVF) supuso una disrupción en el fondo en ruta. Entre los problemas éticos que puede provocar cualquier nueva tecnología se encuentran la desnaturalización del deporte, que no sea accesible a todos los competidores y que su uso que entrañe riesgo. A partir de una encuesta de 252 deportistas observamos que la TVF tuvo un juicio ético positivo (p<0,01). Asimismo, el nivel de renta (p<0.01) y practicar triatlón en lugar de atletismo (p<0,05) influyen en el juicio ético. La TVF presenta una percepción más cercana a ser preventiva que generadora de lesiones (p<0,05). El análisis del índice de Haake sobre la evolución de los récords del mundo y de España en diversas distancias de fondo en ruta sugiere que las mejoras de los récords con TVF pueden ser debidos a una lógica evolución del deporte y no a su desnaturalización
