In the Keyword box I typed in "health and sports". After this was searched there was a few books to choose from. after rewiewing the ones that I thought would go good withmy research question I found that "Understanding Sports and Eating Disorders" was best.

A Breif Summary of Information I Yielded from the Book

This book has information about nutrition and athletics that seems to go with my research question well. The book has many different topcs that branch off of health and sports. There is a lot of information on disorders. Disorders in this book range for eating dsorders to exerciseing disorders. The author gives information about what people are more vulnerable the eating disorders; this vulnerability varies from gender, race, and the sport that a person participates in. This book also informs us how elite athletes go to the extreem with alot of what they do. This is not always good and sometimes results in eating disorders and sickness. This book gives you information of past athletes that had disorders. Some being fixed yet sadly some resulting in death.
