Depression and ADHD as predictors of exercise addiction: A cross-sectional study in frequent exercisers
This cross-sectional study of 173 frequent exercisers (>10 hours/week) examined relationships between depression, ADHD symptoms, and exercise addiction using standardized scales and regression analyses. Depressive and ADHD symptoms were significantly positively correlated with exercise addiction symptoms, with depression emerging as the stronger predictor after controlling for age and gender.
