Anorexia athletica is not a totally medical term. It is loosely used to describe someone who exhibits anorexic tendencies (self starvation, limiting food intake, malnourishment, low body weight, ect.) with a seemingly compulsive need to exercise. This exercise is usually done for long amounts of time, or continually throughout the day or week, and can be fairly intense.
