“…(Jacobs et al, 2012;Liederbach & Compagno, 2001;Wentz et al, 2012) Energy deficiency and disordered eating that may lead to medical complications on the musculoskeletal system, such as osteopenia/osteoporosis and myopathy. (Mitchell & Crow, 2006) Furthermore, functional impairments associated with low energy availability include a greater prevalence of injuries (Thein-Nissenbaum et al, 2011) and this can explain why such instructors are at higher risk of both injuries and musculoskeletal pain. Although menstrual dysfunction was not associated with injuries among respondents in this study, a significant number of both LIL and HIL female instructors reported such dysfunction.…”

No funding was received for this study. and both acute and overuse injuries (25% vs 10%, p<0.001) was higher in the HIL than in the LIL group (OR: 3.9, CI: 2.7, 5.5). The most prevalent injury locations were ankle and lower leg. The most frequent location for musculoskeletal pain was the shoulder/neck region. Factors associated with injury were instruction loading (h/w), years working as an instructor and EDI score. A high total EDI score predicted musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion:The high prevalence of injuries and musculoskeletal pain suggests a need for prevention strategies in the fitness industry. There is a need for limits regarding weekly instruction loading, especially for classes with high metabolic and/or mechanical loading.3

“…A randomized comparison Eating disorders (EDs) are associated with a wide range of medical complications involving all major systems of the body (Kaplan & Woodside, 1987;Mitchell & Crow, 2006), and in severe cases EDs may lead to death (Herzog et al, 2000). Further, even the most empirically supported treatment for eating disorders (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy for bulimia nervosa) is only effective for about 60% of those completing treatment (Fairburn et al, 1995).…”

Eating disorder causes serious disturbances in behaviors related to nutrition in adolescent. Although most of these attitudes are benign, they can bear significant psychological and health risks. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 university adolescent girls studying in Peshawar Pakistan to explore their eating disorder, nutritional and health status. Girls were interviewed for eating attitudes by using Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), socio-economic status and body image. Anthropometric and biochemical indices were measured. Based on EAT-26 scale, girls with and without eating disorders were identified. In both groups the association between anemia and risk factors was evaluated. Health and nutritional risk factors for anemia in girls were identified by applying logistic regression. Mean score of EAT-26 was 18±10.5 while for Dieting, Bulimia, Oral Control and Body Image of the girls was 8.5±7, 3.20±2.59, 6.36±4.41 and 20±9 respectively. EAT-Score was found in strong association with anemia in unadjusted and adjusted analysis. Among the health factors, girls with symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress were more likely anemic than their counterpart. More anorexic girls were found overweight and obese in comparison to the rest (p<0.05). Body shape being android or gynoid as well as anemia were found similar among the groups (p>0.05). More anorexic girls showed significant difference in less freshness, disrupted sleep and low physical activity (p<0.05). It has been concluded that eating disorders (anorexia) are more prevalent in university adolescent girls and could adversely affect the health and nutritional status of the students.
