Female athletes have been identified as a potential risk group for the development of eating disorders. Although adolescents is general are particularly vulnerable to the onset of eating disorders, little research has examined problem among high school female athletes. The present study explroed this population by comparing female athletes and non athletes in terms of : a. behavioural and psychological traits associated with eating disorders, and b. use of pathogenic weight control comparisons were also investigated to determine if athletes in specific sports were more at risk. Moreover, in an attempt to link athletic participation and eating disordered behaviour, the gender - role orientation of athletes was examined. Results indicated that : a. athletes were more likely than non athletes to possess certain behavioural and psychological correlates of eating disorders b. there were few differences among the various sports teams, and c. gender - role orientation was generally not a critical variable. Although group comparisons yielded limited significant differences, athletes nevertheless reported traits associated with eating disorders as well as used of pathogenic weight control techniques. The unique contributions of the sport context and coaching practices exacerbating disordered eating are discussed.
