Abstract

Background and Aims: Exercise is psychologically and physiologically beneficial for health. However, some people may overdo it regardless of their degree of injury, which has led the researchers to belive that in some cases, exercise can be harmful and become an addictive process. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between Body Image concern as well as Dysfunctional Attitudes and prediction of Exercise Addiction among bodybuilders in the city of Khoy. Materials and Methods: In the present cross-sectional descriptive study, using Morgan table, 234 bodybuilder athletes (117 males; 20± 3. 2 yrs old and 117 females; 20± 2. 8 yrs old) were randomly selected out of the first pool of 600 in Khoy city. Data was obtained using Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS-26), and Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI). Reliability of the questionnaires were obtained to be 0. 87, 0. 92, and 0. 84, respectively. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient as well as multiple linear regression. Results: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between Exercise Addiction and Body Image concern as well as Dysfunctional Attitudes in bodybuilders (p<0. 01). Also, the components of Body Image concern (dissatisfaction and shame regarding one’ s appearance, and checking and camouflaging of a perceived defect) and Dysfunctional Attitudes (success-perfectionism, and the need for satisfying others) could favorably predict the Exercise Addiction in bodybuilders. Conclusion: Concerns and false image regarding the Body Image along with Dysfunctional Attitudes towards sport activities are associated with increased addiction to exercise, and paying attention to these psychological variables and targeting them in interventional and educational programs can be useful in preventing Exercise Addiction in bodybuilders.
