A study was conducted to clarify eating behaviors related closely to accumulation of body fat and the relation between eating behaviors and body fat. Thirty collegiate oarsmen were investigated with a questionnaire. The percent body fat was measured by the bioelectrical impedance meter. As a result, it was revealed that relatively many athletes had eating behaviors considered as a problem and then recognized themselves to be the constitution that was easy to grow fat. It was found that athletes who hoped to reduce weight were concerned about eating behaviors more intense than that who felt just good on body image. The mean percent body fat of high score group on body image scale was significantly higher than that of low score group. Athletes individually had the specific characteristic of eating behaviors and body image. These results suggested that it is necessary for them to educate just about nutrition and dietary as to individual necessity in order to solve each of their problems in eating behaviors and body fat
