Passion and Exercise Addiction in CrossFit vs. Other Exercise Forms

We compared 200+ regular CrossFit exercisers to 200+ other regular exercisers on the risk of exercise addiction, obsessive and harmonious passion. The former group scored higher on all these measures. We also compared motivation subdomains using the SMS-II, but no group differences emerged. Exercise intensity and frequency were statistically significant covariates the risk of exercise addiction, obsessive passion and harmonious passion.

本研究针对200余名常规CrossFit健身者（CrossFit）与200余名其他常规健身者，对比了二者在运动成瘾风险、强迫型热情（obsessive passion）及和谐型热情（harmonious passion）上的表现。结果显示，前者在所有上述指标上的得分均显著更高。本研究同时采用运动动机量表-II（SMS-II）对动机子维度开展对比分析，但未观测到两组间存在显著差异。运动强度与运动频率为影响运动成瘾、强迫型热情及和谐型热情的统计学显著协变量。
