There is a spectrum of eating behaviours in high performance sport that spans from optimised nutrition through DE to clinically diagnosed EDs.

Personal attributes which underpin successful performance, combined with the sport environment may leave athletes vulnerable to DE.

Everyone in the high performance sports system has a role as early identifiers of DE. Education and literacy is required around risk factors, warning signs and red flags..

The Core Multidisciplinary Team (CMT) of Doctor, Sports Dietitian and Psychologist form the cornerstone of professional assessment and management of athletes on the spectrum of eating behaviour.
