The relationship between food addiction and patterns of disordered eating with exercise dependence: in amateur endurance athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: A considerable number of amateur endurance athletes may suffer from FA. The association between FA and EXD is stronger than between ED and EXD, indicating FA as a potentially more relevant subject-than ED-for prevention or therapy in people with EXD. Further studies are needed to investigate parameters and relationships between the possibly involved types of ED, FA, and EXD.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, well-designed cohort analytic study.
