Abstract：
Body satisfaction (BS) predicts lower levels of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors (ED/DE) among female athletes, though recent research suggests similar effects for male athletes. However, research on male athletes\' BS and ED/DE is limited, particularly in relation to times of transition, such as occurred in the months immediately following COVID-19 being recognized as a global pandemic. In this study, we surveyed 1975 male collegiate athletes in April/May 2020 to assess their body satisfaction and ED/DE symptomatology to determine prevalence and prediction between the two. First, we determined athletes\' ED classification: 18.5 % (clinical) and 4.7 % (subclinical). Second, although 60 % to 70 % of the athletes reported satisfaction across five body dimensions, they were significantly more satisfied with their body muscularity and least with their leanness and thinness. Third, through hierarchical regression, athletes\' body satisfaction significantly explained their ED/DE symptomatology, explaining 34 % of the variance. Of the five BS dimensions, satisfaction with body size/shape (β = -0.19), current weight (β = -0.22), and thinness (β = -0.25) were associated significantly with lower DE. Our results add to the limited research that has demonstrated that during times of transition, such as when athletes retire from sport or experience a global health pandemic, female and male athletes\' report more body image concerns and DE symptoms. Further, our results indicate that satisfaction is perceived as multidimensional by male athletes, and that specific dimensions (e.g., weight, thinness) are more strongly associated with disturbances in eating.
摘要：
身体满意度（BS）预测女性运动员饮食失调和饮食行为紊乱（ED/DE）的较低水平，尽管最近的研究表明对男性运动员有类似的影响。然而,对男运动员BS和ED/DE的研究有限，特别是在过渡时期，例如发生在COVID-19被确认为全球大流行后的几个月。在这项研究中,我们在2020年4月/5月调查了1975名男性大学运动员,以评估他们的身体满意度和ED/DE症状,以确定两者之间的患病率和预测.首先,我们确定运动员ED分类：18.5%（临床）和4.7%（亚临床）。第二,尽管60%到70%的运动员报告了五个身体维度的满意度，他们对自己的身体肌肉状况更满意，而对瘦弱和瘦弱的满意度最低。第三，通过分层回归，运动员的身体满意度显着解释了他们的ED/DE症状，解释了34%的差异。在五个BS维度中，对体型/形状的满意度(β=-0.19)，当前重量（β=-0.22），薄度（β=-0.25）与较低的DE显着相关。我们的结果增加了有限的研究，这些研究表明，在过渡时期，例如当运动员从运动中退役或经历全球健康大流行时，女性和男性运动员报告更多的身体形象问题和DE症状。Further,我们的结果表明，男性运动员认为满意度是多维的，和特定尺寸(例如，体重,薄度)与进食障碍更密切相关。
