Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretende contribuir para a compreensão
dos factores que podem predispor o atleta de competição
a desenvolver comportamentos e atitudes de risco,
características das perturbações alimentares.
Procura-se avaliar a relação entre ansiedade física
social e os comportamentos e atitudes alimentares características
das perturbações alimentares e verificar se
factores particulares do contexto desportivo tinham influência
nesta relação (tipo de modalidade).
Compararam-se também as atitudes e comportamentos
alimentares de risco, nos grupos de não-atletas
e atletas.
Foram aplicadas as versões portuguesas do Social
Physique Anxiety Scale – SPAS (Abreu, no prelo) e
do Eating Disorders Inventory – EDI (Carmo, Galvão-
-Teles, Bouça, no prelo) a 200 jovens do sexo feminino
(100 estudantes universitárias, 25 ginastas, 25 nadadoras,
25 futebolistas e 25 andebolistas).
Confirmou-se a existência de uma forte correlação
positiva entre a ansiedade física social e as atitudes e
comportamentos alimentares de risco. Nos grupos de
ginástica e natação, esta relação foi bastante mais forte
que a existente no grupo das não-atletas.
Quanto à presença de sintomas psicopatológicos característicos
das perturbações alimentares, o grupo das
atletas obteve uma pontuação superior em várias das
sub-escalas do EDI-2, comparativamente ao grupo
das não-atletas. Encontraram-se diferenças significativas
no desejo de emagrecer, bulimia, desconfiança interpessoal,
mal-estar interoceptivo, medo de maturidade
e ascetismo.
Na comparação entre as várias modalidades os
grupos de futebol e de ginástica apresentaram resultados
superiores aos das não-atletas.
