Modification of Eating Disorder in Women Bodybuilders during Counseling Process

Author(s)
O. V. Sineva, V. S. Okladnikova
Abstract
The article attaches importance to the issue of working out programs for eating disorder modification in women professionally engaged in an individual aesthetic sport (bodybuilding). The article theoretically and empirically verifies the hypothesis that women bodybuilders have eating disorders due to their discontent with the body image and a high level of perfectionism. The author suggests that there is possibility for effective eating disorder modification in the process of group and individual psychological counselling. Structural and content-related components of eating disorder modification aimed at facilitating acceptance of one’s own appearance and body image and at optimizing the level of perfectionism have been piloted. It has been found that implementation of the program discussed contributes to reducing manifestation of eating disorders in women bodybuilders.
