Influence of Binge Eating among Kids, Adults and Athletes Wilkes Barre PA

Body Fat Restrictions: “Making weight”, “reducing body fat percentages” or creating a more sculpted body image are only some of the pressure points routinely applied to male and female athletes by coaches and judges every day. Think of the wiry bones-and-muscle only physiques associated with the major “endurance sports” such as cross country running, cycling.
