To study the longitudinal stability of exercise addiction and its health effects in apparently healthy amateur endurance cyclists from pre- to 6-month post-competition.
In total, 330 (30 women) adult cyclists were divided into 4 groups based on scores on the Exercise Addiction Inventory at both periods: nonrisk (n=262, 79.1%), transient (n=35, 10.6%), emerging (n=14, 4.2%) and persistent (n=20, 6.1%).
The prevalence of high-risk exercise addiction was reduced postcompetition (16.7% vs 10.3%, P = 0.017). Of the cyclists with a high precompetition risk of exercise addiction, 63.6% (35/55) had a transient addiction associated with favorable effects on mental quality of life (effect size [ES]=0.52, 95% confidence interval: [0.20, 0.86]) and sleep quality (ES=-0.50 [-0.89, -0.12]) and avoided the worsening of depression symptom severity compared to the remaining groups (ES range=0.51-0.65). The 5.1% (14/275) of cyclists with a precompetition low risk of exercise addiction presented emerging exercise addiction that was associated with a worsened mental quality of life compared to the remaining groups (ES ranged 0.59-0.91), sleep quality compared to the nonrisk (ES=-0.56 [-0.02, -1.10]) and transient (ES=-0.72 [-1.36, -0.08]) groups and anxiety symptom severity compared to the persistent group (ES=0.51 [1.20,-0.19]).
Exercise addiction had a marked transitory component at 6-month postcompetition with associated health benefits in amateur endurance cyclists.
研究运动成瘾的纵向稳定性及其对赛前至赛后 6 个月期间健康的影响。
根据两个时间点的运动成瘾量表评分,将 330 名(30 名女性)成年自行车运动员分为 4 组:非风险组(n=262,79.1%)、一过性风险组(n=35,10.6%)、新出现风险组(n=14,4.2%)和持续风险组(n=20,6.1%)。
与比赛前相比,比赛后高风险运动成瘾的患病率降低(16.7%比 10.3%,P=0.017)。在赛前有高风险运动成瘾的自行车运动员中,63.6%(35/55)有一过性成瘾,这与心理健康质量(效应量[ES]0.52,95%置信区间:[0.20,0.86])和睡眠质量(ES=-0.50 [-0.89,-0.12])的改善有关,与其余组相比,抑郁症状严重程度也没有恶化(ES 范围=0.51-0.65)。在赛前低风险运动成瘾的自行车运动员中,有 5.1%(14/275)出现新出现的运动成瘾,与其余组相比,心理健康质量下降(ES 范围为 0.59-0.91),与非风险组(ES=-0.56 [-0.02,-1.10])和一过性风险组(ES=-0.72 [-1.36,-0.08])相比,睡眠质量下降,与持续风险组相比,焦虑症状严重程度增加(ES=0.51 [1.20,-0.19])。
在比赛后 6 个月时,运动成瘾有明显的一过性成分,与业余耐力自行车运动员的健康益处相关。
