The purpose of this study was to validate the Addiction Exercise Inventory (EAI) in the Spanish context.
Five hundred and eighty-four university students participated in the study, completing a questionnaire that assessed exercise addiction, exercise frequency and intensity.
The results supported the factor structure of the EAI model. An alpha value of .70 and high level of temporal stability (ICC = .92) were obtained. The structure of the model was invariant across gender. A group of 87 students (14.9%) obtained a total score equal to or higher than 24 in the EAI and were classified as being at risk of exercise addiction. Students exercising more than three days per week at high intensity obtained higher scores in exercise addiction than students exercising at low-medium intensity, regardless of their frequency.
The findings of this study showed the reliability and validity of the EAI in a Spanish context, providing a practical instrument that allows screening for exercise addiction.
本研究旨在验证西班牙语境下的《锻炼成瘾问卷》（EAI）的有效性。
584 名大学生参与了这项研究，他们完成了一份问卷，评估了锻炼成瘾、锻炼频率和强度。
结果支持 EAI 模型的因子结构。获得了.70 的 alpha 值和高水平的时间稳定性（ICC =.92）。模型的结构在性别间不变。一组 87 名学生（14.9%）在 EAI 中获得等于或高于 24 的总分，被归类为有锻炼成瘾的风险。每周锻炼超过三天且强度较高的学生比低/中强度锻炼的学生获得更高的锻炼成瘾得分，而不论其频率如何。
本研究的结果表明，EAI 在西班牙语境下具有可靠性和有效性，提供了一种实用的工具，可用于筛查锻炼成瘾。
