Eating disorders in boys nad young men
Zámečník, Jakub ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (advisor) ; Šivicová, Gabriela (referee)
The aim of this work is to summarize current knowledge of eating disorders in men. The theoretical part is trying to describe the key areas in which eating disorders differ between the sexes. Among the large number of small differences we can see also some major differences, especially radically different concept of the male ideal body image that causes most of the other differences. Therefore, the work paid attention to muscle dysmorphia, which occupies an important place on this issue. Although it is a multidisciplinary topic, thesis tries to target the areas related to psychology. The practical part is the research proposal, which aims to map a number of symptoms of eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia, body dissatisfaction and frequency of risk behaviors among college Czech non-clinical populations of men. It also seeks to describe some other relationships among these variables. Key words Eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, muscle dysmorphia, men, sociocultural pressure, body dissatisfaction

In this part are also described risk factors for Bigorexia development and process of medical treatment. Next part is practical, containing four case histories of men with Bigorexia. The respondents are asked for their own understanding of Bigorexia. The case histories are searched for common characteristics in development, which may contribute to Bigorexia. The characteristics are individually analyzed and the risk factors are evaluated. And the results are overconcern of their body appearance, continuation in exercise over the presence of injury or illness, anxiety caused by default of training program, preoccupation by exercise, neglect of duty, demanding of higher achievements and the mood changing. By recognition of these risk factors, we can be able to expect development of Bigorexia and make preventive arrangements. Keywords:...
