Body image experiences in retired olympians : knowledge, awareness, and prevention / Anthony Papathomas, Trent Petrie, Karin Moesch, Han Newman
Edited by Loughborough University - 2021
Pressure to be lean for athletic performance gains can lead athletes to adopt an unhealthy preoccupation with body weight and appearance. Athlete body dissatisfaction is prevalent across sports and can lead to disordered eating, negative affect, and poor mental health. Whether body image concerns persist into athletic retirement is a recent focus of research, with insights limited to survey-based data in sub-elite athletic samples. This is the first focused study to explore the meanings elite athletes ascribe to retirement body changes.
