Abstract
En 中文
This study compared the different factors associated with eating behaviors among young female and male athletes and non-athletes. A total of 580 female and male athletes and 362 female and male non-athletes between 10 and 19 years old participated. We used the subscales of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) to evaluate the factors associated with unhealthy eating behaviors. We found higher scores for females on the diet subscale compared with males, regardless of athletic group (P<0.05). Non-athlete youths scored higher on this subscale compared with male athletes (P<0.05). Our findings indicate higher scores for female athletes with regard to the bulimia and preoccupation with food subscale compared with other the groups (P<0.05). Moreover, we observed that non-athlete males were more likely to engage in binge eating compared with athletes of the same sex (P<0.05). Finally, females had higher scores on the oral self subscale than males, regardless of athletic group (P<0.05). We concluded that the factors associated with eating behaviors differ with regard to sex and group.
