AB The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of dependency on physical exercisein individual sportspeople and the relationship with body dissatisfaction and motivation. Twohundred and twenty-five triathletes, swimmers, cyclists, and athletics competitors aged 18 to 63years old took part in the study, of which 145 were men (M = 35.57 ± 10.46 years) and 80 werewomen (M = 32.83 ± 10.31 years). The EDS-R (Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised) was used tostudy dependency on exercising, the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was used to study bodydissatisfaction, the Behaviour Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) was used to determinethe participants’ motivation and the BIAQ was used to analyse conducts of avoidance to body image.The obtained results show that 8.5% of the subjects have a risk of dependency on exercise and18.2% tend to have corporal dissatisfaction, without meaningful di↵erences in the kind of sport theypracticed. However, there were important di↵erences concerning the dependency on physical exercise(15% vs. 4.8%) and body dissatisfaction (31.1% vs. 11%) in relation to sex, with the higher percentagesreferring to women. Introjected regulation and the conduct of food restriction were predictor variablesof the dependency on exercise and corporal dissatisfaction. Also, the number and duration of sessions;the age of the participants; the integrated, introjected, and external regulations surrounding socialactivities; and eating restraints could all predict dependence on physical exercise (DPE).
