A study published in JEatDisord finds that compulsive exercise in early adolescents is predicted by exercise motivation, exercise habit, and dieting, but not physical activity level.
] found introjected regulation of exercise more closely linked to both adaptive and maladaptive behaviour in adult exercisers. Introjected regulation of exercise motivation refers to behaviour performed to avoid feelings of guilt, shame, and anxiety, and hence covers the core of the compulsive exercise construct. Thus, it is not surprising that introjected regulation showed a moderate, positive correlation with CET avoidance and rule-driven behaviour.
Strengths of this study include a large sample of adolescents, high response rate, use of standardized and validated instruments, and the use of objective assessment of PA and physical fitness. Further, we believe it is a strength that we have a broad approach to exercise behaviour and thus can capture the complexity to a greater extent than previous studies. The cross-sectional design is a weakness together with the limited data on dieting behaviour.
There is a need for longitudinal studies on how compulsive exercise evolves during childhood and adolescence, and whether it is linked to other mental health issues than eating disorders. Also, there is a need for separation of obsessive cognitions about exercise from actual performed exercise in adolescents, and knowledge about how such cognitions might serve as a great barrier towards healthy and joyful exercise participation.
