Anorexia athletica

Eating disorder characterized by excessive and compulsive exercise

Anorexia athletica, also referred to as hyper-gymnasia, is an eating disorder characterized by excessive and compulsive exercise. An athlete with sports anorexia tends to overexercise, to give themselves a sense of having control over their body. Most often, people with the disorder tend to feel they have no control over their lives, other than their control of food and exercise. In actuality, they have no control; they cannot stop exercising or regulating food intake without feeling guilty. Generally, once the activity is started, it is difficult to stop, because the person is seen as being addicted to the method adopted.
