Assessment of Eating Attitudes and Body Image Among 17–20-Year-Olds Engaged in Regular Sports Activity
The findings confirm the multidimensional nature of eating disorder risk among young athletes, highlighting the role of body image imbalance and gender differences. Early screening, preventive interventions, and multidisciplinary support are essential to protect both the physical and mental health of young athletes. Future research should include objective physiological measures and broader samples to improve generalizability.
