MALES ATHLETES

What are the health risks for male athletes?

The effects of disordered eating and eating disorders can be extremely harmful - not only to an athlete’s performance, but to his physical and emotional well-being. While an athlete may be able to sustain performance during the early stages of disordered eating, lack of adequate energy to train and compete will eventually limit performance and adversely affect the athlete’s health.
