abstract = {This cross-sectional survey study had the aim of clarifying the relationships
between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and non-drugrelated
self-regulation problems (non-drug-related SRPs), including
behavioral addictions, and the role of impulsive personality traits
therein. Spanish university students (N = 329; Mage = 21.20) completed
questionnaires for each of these constructs.
Fitness and Bodybuilding LTPA was negatively associated with video
gaming-related SRPs, r = -.13, p = .019, 95% CI (bootstrapped) [-.23,
-.02], and positively associated with sex-related SRPs, r = .16, p = .005,
95% CI (bootstrapped) [.04, .30]. Endurance LTPA was associated
with higher scores in eating-related SRPs, r = .17, p = .003, 95% CI
(bootstrapped) [.02, .31]. The proportion of participants presenting
scores above the clinically significant threshold in eating-related SRPs
was 2.64 times higher for respondents in an Excessive Endurance
LTPA cluster compared to the other respondents, Fisher’s exact test,
p = .017, OR = 3.10, 95% CI [1.26, 7.63], and the proportion of participants
reporting vomiting to control weight was 2.12 times higher,
Fisher’s exact test, p = .040, OR = 2.43, 95% CI [1.06, 5.57]. The associations
were largely independent of impulsive personality traits.
We identified an elevated risk of eating pathology in a subgroup of
participants with anomalously high participation in endurance physical
activity. This overlap is consistent with the secondary dependence hypothesis
of exercise addiction.},
