Evaluation of eating attitudes and obsession with healthy eating of apprentice jockeys and wrestlers
These findings highlight the heightened risk of eating disorders in weight-control sports, particularly among apprentice jockeys who compete more frequently than wrestlers. Increased dieting among jockeys may raise their vulnerability to disordered eating. Classifying wrestling and horse racing as weight-class sports may encourage athletes to adopt healthier food choices.
