Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While athletes in any sport can develop anorexia, sports that place a high emphasis on weight or appearance (such as gymnastics, figure skating, and some martial arts) may be more likely to have athletes with eating disorders. Soccer, on the other hand, does not place as much of an emphasis on weight or appearance, which makes it less likely for an athlete to develop anorexia.
