Promotion of Healthy Weight-Control in Young Athletes
Athletes may engage in unhealthy weight-control practices, particularly in sports in which thinness or
“making weight” is judged important to success, such as body building, cheerleading, dancing (especially
ballet), distance running, diving, figure skating, gymnastics, horse racing, rowing, swimming,
weight-class football, and wrestling.

Binge Eating Disorders
People with binge eating disorder frequently eat large amounts of food while feeling a loss of control over their eating. This disorder is different from binge-purge syndrome (bulimia nervosa) because people with binge eating disorder usually do not purge afterward by vomiting or using laxatives.
