Introduction: The high training load associated with the aesthetic standards required by rhythmic gymnastics (RG) has been considered a stressor for high-performance athletes, which may culminate in anxiety, poor sleep quality and risk for developing eating disorders. Objectives: To evaluate the state of anxiety, sleep quality and the risk of eating disorders, and their possible correlations, in high-performance rhythmic gymnasts looking for a place in the Brazilian youth team. Methods: Twenty-one female gymnasts (13.4 ± 0.5 years, 1.56 ± 0.1 m, 45.6 ± 6.1 kg) were evaluated. The gymnasts answered three questionnaires: the Competitive Anxiety State Inventory (CSAI-2) to assess cognitive and somatic anxiety as well as self-confidence, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT -26) to assess the risk of eating disorders. Results: Gymnasts predominantly presented low somatic and cognitive anxiety, and high self-confidence. However, 23.8% of rhythm gymnasts were at risk for eating disorders, and 23.8% had poor sleep quality. There was a statistically significant correlation between sleep quality and somatic anxiety, but eating disorders did not correlate with anxiety or sleep quality. Conclusion: The high-performance juvenile rhythmic gymnasts evaluated in this study presented high frequencies for risk of eating disorders and poor sleep quality, and monitoring by a multidisciplinary team was indicated.
