Best answer

Hard training, constant dieting and a desire to achieve better physique creates a disorder, i.e., osteoporosis, menstrual dysfunction and eating disorder. This is more common in Gymnastics, figure skating ballet, fitness and bodybuilding. If unnoticed those can become health risk and lead to many complications.

(a) The first eating disorder is Anorexia and bulimia. Physical appearance pressure transforms into ideal body weight. It also affects the psychological well being of the athlete.

(b) The second component is Osteoporosis. Athletes who are participating in high impact activities are at risk of stress fracture since their bones may not be as dense due to inadequate calcium and constant dieting.

(c) The third component is Menstrual dysfunction. This is caused by high intensity exercise, psychological stress and energy deficiency. As energy stores drop, levels of blood estrogen are decreased and menstruation will no longer occur.
