Prevención y detección de los trastornos de alimentación en deportistas de alto rendimiento (CAR, CEARE y CTD)

Abstract

In this present paper we have analyzed the factors which determine the risks for an athlete to develop an Eating Disorder (ED). The level of a competition and the kind of sport practiced have been proved to influence the development of these risks. Among the athletes who seem to show an -a priori- bigger risk of developing the problems, we find those who compete in high performance competition, so, by means of this research paper we intend to detect using the Questionnaire for the eating habits in sportsmen and women (CHAD) sportsmen and sportswomen who are among those training in the Center of High Performance (CAR), the Center of Training and High Performance (CEARE) or the Center for the Sport Tech (CTD) that are more prone to the acquisition of an eating disorder and what influences this vulnerability, discovering that, in this precise case, it is women who practice a risky sport.
