Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aesthetic sports such as gymnastics, figure skating, and diving emphasize on appearance and body weight, which may cause athletes to develop an eating disorder like anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. These sports require athletes to maintain a specific body shape or weight, which leads to an unhealthy focus on diet and weight control. Endurance sports such as distance running and triathlons may also have risks of eating disorders, but not as much as aesthetic sports. Ball game sports and technical sports do have some emphasis on appearance, but it is not as significant as in aesthetic sports.
