Sažetak
Taekwondo is a weight-classified combat sport. Taekwondo athletes often incline to restrictive eating behavior and weight reduction, especially before competitions, which is a health and psychological risk factor. The aims of this study were to examine the presence of eating disorders symptoms with regard to gender and age ; to examine the correlation and contribution of goal orientation, body satisfaction and coach's behavior to development of eating disorder symptoms in different subgroups and to examine the incidence of eating disorders symptoms in elite Croatian taekwondo athletes in comparison to non-elite. 335 active taekwondo competitors completed Eating attitude test, Figure Rating Scale, Croatian versin of TEOSQ, Negative Coach Behavior Questionnaire and a questionnaire related to taekwondo specificities. Symptoms of eating disorders were more present in female taekwondo athletes than in male, while there was no significant difference among age categories. A significant positive correlation was found between the symptoms of eating disorders and the coach's pressure, task orientation and body dissatisfaction. Body dissatisfaction, coach's insensitivity to well-being and coach's pressure due to diet contributed positively to development of eating disorder symptoms in taekwondo athletes. The presence of eating disorder symptoms was lower in elite than in non-elite taekwondo athletes
