Research Topic Focus
There are many different sides to the correlation between athletes and their eating disorders. Some possible points of disagreement may include:
-How many calories are considered appropriate for athletes both male and female, based on their sport? Here people may argue as to what is considered good or bad for an athlete of that stamina. It could be personal opinion whether the athlete should be eating 3,000 calories, or only 1,200 a day. I think it is important to get the medical opinion to know an accurate way to answer this debate.
-When does their eating become a true eating disorder?
-Are constant athlete dieters or highly restrictive eaters considered disordered?
-Would the athlete affected have the eating disorder regardless of their competitive sport? This may cause debate between many. Some may argue that the eating disorder has nothing to do with them being an athlete, but rather it is a psychological issue they would have regardless.
-Are athletic trainers and coaches to blame? Or even the parents?
-Are competitive level sports good or bad for young adults given the rise in those with disorders?
