Notes
- Abstract:
- There is limited eating disorder (ED) research regarding collegiate rowers. The purpose of this study was to examine prevalence rates of ED and ED symptoms for 133 male and female competitive collegiate rowers competing in lightweight and open-weight programs. Participants completed the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnosis (Q-EDD) to assess prevalence and three subscales of the Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (Drive for Thinness, Perfectionism, and Body Dissatisfaction; EDI-2; Garner, 1991) to examine symptoms. More than half of the participants were classified as symptomatic (n = 65; 49%) or eating disordered (n = 5; 4%). Results showed that lightweight rowers had higher prevalence of ED, greater drive for thinness (F (1, 129) = 19.07, p <.001), and greater body dissatisfaction (F (1,129) = 4.57, p <.05) than open-weight rowers. Male rowers had higher prevalence of ED than female rowers, but females had greater body dissatisfaction than males (F(1,129) = 9.57, p = 0.002). Implications for counseling, prevention, and future research directions are discussed.
