abstract = {This commentary challenges some of the proposals made in the opinion paper entitled “The expanded
interactional model of exercise addiction” by Dinardi, Egorov, and Szabo (2021). We first question the
usefulness of the (expanded) interactional model of exercise addiction to determine the psychological processes
underlying distress and functional impairment in excessive physical exercise. We then consider the
authors’ use of the Self-Determination Theory to model exercise addiction, which risks the misclassification
of strenuous, but adaptive, patterns of physical exercise as exercise addiction. We finally address broader
concerns regarding the idea that maladaptive exercising could be conceptualized as an addictive disorder.},
