Resumo

Introducción: Los trastornos de la imagen corporal y alimentarios, así como conductas de control de peso riesgosas para la salud, son más frecuentes en los deportistas que practican deportes con énfasis en la estética, la delgadez y un bajo peso específico. Objetivo: Comparar la imagen corporal (insatisfacción y alteración) y el riesgo de trastornos alimenticios en una muestra de adolescentes gimnastas versus un grupo control de adolescentes no gimnastas con un IMC similar. Material y métodos: Se seleccionó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia de 56 participantes mujeres y hombres clasificados como gimnastas élite, gimnastas regulares y grupo control. La imagen corporal y trastornos alimenticios fueron valorados con la Escala de Factores de Riesgo de Trastornos Alimentarios (EFRATA). Resultados: Al realizar una prueba ANOVA de dos factores, la insatisfacción con la imagen corporal, presentó diferencias estadísticamente significativas por sexo (F(1, 55) =17.41, p ≤ 0.001) y grupo (F(2, 55) = 3.66, p = 0.033), mostrando un mayor grado de insatisfacción los hombres (M= -0.54) respecto a las mujeres (M = 0.43). El riesgo de anorexia mostró diferencias significativas por sexo (F(1, 55) = 10.69, p = 0.002) y grupo (F(2, 55) = 7.97, p ≤ 0.001). Conclusión: Los gimnastas presentaron un mayor grado de insatisfacción corporal al desear una silueta más gruesa o musculosa para el caso de los varones, mientras que las mujeres quieren ser más delgadas respecto al grupo control. De igual forma los gimnastas reportaron un mayor riesgo de anorexia en comparación con el grupo control.


Abstract. Introduction: Body image and eating disorders, as well as risky weight management behaviors are more frequent in athletes who practice sports with an emphasis on aesthetics, thinness and a specific low body weight. Objective: to compare body image (dissatisfaction and alteration) and the risk of eating disorders in a sample of adolescent gymnasts versus a control group of non-gymnastics adolescents with similar BMI. Material and methods: A convenient non-probabilistic sample of 56 female and male participants classified as elite, regular gymnasts and control group with a BMI similar to that of gymnasts. The instrument used to assess body image and eating disorders was the Scale of Risk Factors for Eating Disorders. Results: When performing an inferential analysis using a two-way ANOVA, dissatisfaction with body image showed statistically significant gender (F(1, 55) = 17.41, p ≤ 0.001) and group (F(2 , 55) = 3.66, p = 0.033) differences, males displaying higher degree of dissatisfaction (M = -0.54) than females (M = 0.43). The risk of anorexia showed significant differences by sex (F (1, 55) = 10.69, p = 0.002) and group (F (2,55) = 7,97, p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Gymnasts showed greater body dissatisfaction, with males desiring a more muscular silhouette whilst females a leaner figure compared to the control group. Likewise, gymnasts reported an increased risk of anorexia compared to the control group.
