“…Future studies could also incorporate a more extensive measure for the motivation of sport and exercise, such as the Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 (EMI-2, Markland and Ingledew 1997) that acknowledges the existence of multiple sports motives. In the present study, we just focused on a weight-related motivation, because reasons such as burning calories and weight control appeared to be associated with the greatest disturbance on disordered eating indices (Hubbard et al 1998). In the subgroup weight-related sport participants, we included only those girls for whom weight-related sport participation was a recent, frequent, and repetitive activity by using the criterion of a weekly frequency.…”

“…The sport participants were then categorized into two subgroups, namely sport participants with a weight-related sports motive, from now on referred to as weight-related sport participants, and not-weightrelated sport participants. Following Hubbard et al (1998), weight-related sports motive was defined as sport participation or exercising with the specific purpose of burning extra calories or controlling weight, on a regular base (at least once a week) in the past 3 months (see Hubbard et al 1998;Mond et al 2004). The criterion of weekly frequency was added, because we only wanted to include those girls for whom weight-related sport participation was an important, recent, and repetitive activity rather than just a single one-time or past occurrence into the sub group of weight-related sport participants.…”

“…In addition, several studies in non-sport fitness and exercise activities have found that the presumed mental benefits of sport participation tend not to be experienced by individuals who are motivated to exercise for weight control or appearance-related reasons (Ingledew and Sullivan 2002;Strelan et al 2003). So far, research has been limited to regular exercisers inside fitness centers only, and older adolescent or adult samples primarily coming from Australia (e.g., Furnham et al 2002;Strelan et al 2003), UK (e.g., Ingledew and Sullivan 2002), or US (e.g., Hubbard et al 1998;McDonald and Thompson 1992).…”

“…In contrast, so called body-related exercising for weight loss, body tone, or attractiveness has been shown to be related to disturbed eating, body dissatisfaction, and lower self-esteem (Cash et al 1994;McDonald andThompson 1992, Silberstein et al 1988;Smith et al 1998;Strelan et al 2003;Tiggemann and Williamson 2000). Hubbard et al (1998) concluded that female exercisers who exercise particularly for burning calories or losing weight indicated the greatest disturbance on these areas.…”

“…Weight-related sport participation, primarily for reasons of burning calories or weight control became the main focus of our study as Hubbard et al (1998) found that these weight-related motives were linked to the greatest disturbance with regard to eating, body satisfaction and self-esteem. The variables body image dissatisfaction, weight concerns, and actual dieting behavior are known as important risk factors of eating disorders (Jacobi et al 2004;Shisslak and Crago 2001); consequently, they are included in the present study.…”

Research has shown that exercise for weight control is associated with disordered eating indices in older adolescent or adult exercisers in fitness centers. This study examined whether these relationships could be replicated in a more general sample of 140 Dutch adolescent girls between 13 and 18 years old. Questions about sport participation, items from the Multidimensional Body Image Questionnaire and BULIT-R, the Contour Drawing Rating Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were completed. The girls were categorized as sport-participants with or without weight-related motives or as non-sport-participants. Weight-related sport participation was significantly associated with body dissatisfaction, more weight control and lower self-esteem. In conclusion, it is important to consider motives for sport participation when studying relationships between sport and well being.

, Dunedin Academic Press, Edinburgh, 2009. 133pp. ISBN 978-1-903765-96-8 (Pbk), £14.95 Sharon Vincent has tackled an almost impossible problem head on, and come out the other side with something worthwhile, readable and robust. While there has been much study and analysis on this subject elsewhere in the UK, this book provides a fi rst attempt to collate information from inquiries into serious and fatal maltreatment in Scotland, giving a much-needed insight into trends and approaches to legislation and policy on child neglect and abuse. The heterogeneous and infrequent nature of the public inquiries reported, however, makes any meaningful collation of the material extremely diffi cult. From individual cases of fatal abuse, through to systematic abuse in children's homes, to the removal of children from their families in island communities, the scope is vast. Unlike England, prior to 2007 Scotland did not have a system requiring a serious case review for every fatal or serious case of maltreatment, nor any mechanism for collating information from such reviews to inform national learning. The decision to undertake an inquiry or review therefore appears arbitrary. This in itself raises an enormous question which Vincent fl ags up in the fi nal chapters-does a systematic approach to reviewing every case of fatal maltreatment and a regular national review of these reviews improve learning or practice? The question remains unanswered.The fi rst chapter highlights demographic trends in child mortality and in fatal abuse and neglect in the UK. This chapter makes an essential early point about the diffi culty in identifying child abuse or neglect as a cause of death but agrees with many international studies that a large proportion of deaths in children are preventable, opening up the wider public health agenda adopted in child death review procedures in England, but not Scotland. Chapter 2 describes the different approaches used in the individual countries of the UK for inquiring into and reviewing child deaths.The following chapter then describes the circumstances around the initiation of 13 Scottish inquiries, and compares the methods and formats utilised. The reader is unfortunately left somewhat in the dark about the actual context for each inquiry and needs to piece together information from the following chapters to fully understand what each inquiry was about. These next two chapters provide the main focus for the book, outlining issues in the child, family, environment and service provision highlighted in each inquiry. The author correctly points out that with small numbers and diverse contexts, it is diffi cult, if not impossible, to draw valid conclusions about the nature of serious and fatal abuse, so it is

Exercising for the wrong reasons: relationships among eating disorder beliefs, dysfunctional exercise beliefs and coping

Physical exercise is both a healthy and a maladaptive behaviour -yet, it is often unquestionably recommended as a coping strategy, due to its anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. This study examines maladaptive beliefs associated with eating disorders and to the clinical condition of exercise dependence (or addiction) in relation to coping. One hundred exercisers completed measures of eating disorder beliefs, dysfunctional exercise beliefs, types of coping and level of exercise. Eating disorder beliefs were related to dysfunctional exercise beliefs concerning physical appearance, social desirability and inability to function mentally or emotionally. Eating disorder beliefs were positively associated with emotional coping and negatively correlated with task-oriented coping. Exercise beliefs were associated with avoidance coping (distraction). On some components of eating disorder beliefs, between 2 and 15% of exercisers held scored within a clinical range. Unless clinicians exclude the presence of dysfunctional exercise beliefs, eating disorder beliefs and maladaptive coping, they might be paradoxically encouraging exercise for the wrong reasons.
