xapathyxrebornx agony auntIt depends on how active the sufferer is. Like anyone else they will just do normal sports and excises and sometimes overdo them.

Try renting the film called Perfect Body. Its story of a teen gymnast who develops annorecia nervosa.

It might help.

try using the internet for it, just google it and you shall find proper sites who have done large studies and the like. However, i am pretty sure that they don't do a huge amount if any at all since they have little to no energy- sometimes they even find it hard to stand up!

good luck on your project

Well it depends. I mean it is like asking how often do people without eating disorders exercise?? Well as you may already know, it varies immensely.

Anyways, I used to be anorexic and then kind of anorexic and during that period I used to exercise alot. I played tennis for one hour a day. Then I would jog on the beach for a half hour everyday monday through friday after I'd played tennis. Not to mention I was always on my feet walking all over the place. I used to go to the beach alot and swim. Always with my friends, surfing or doing something. I was a VERY active teen. But I guarantee you that most people are not as active as me.

Furthermore, my exercise habits had nothing to do with my anorexia. I just had a really active lifestyle because of where I lived and who I hung out with. I mean everybody around me was very active too.
