Abstract

Eating disorders have different relationships with physical exercise. Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are associated with considerable physical health and psychosocial morbidity, as well as an increased risk of mortality. A systematic review has been conducted to determine the effect of exercise on physical and mental fitness in the population suffering from this type of psychopathology. For this, first, the differences between problematic and healthy exercise were established. At present, there are discrepancies regarding the prescription of physical activity in the treatment of this type of patients, since compulsive exercise is present, above all, in two of these disorders: anorexia and bulimia.
