Competitive powerlifters exhibit higher exercise dependence than endurance athletes. This study highlights potential risks associated with intense training in strength sports.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Psychology of Exercise

Background:

  • Exercise dependence is a recognized phenomenon.
  • Previous research has primarily focused on endurance athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate exercise dependence levels in competitive powerlifters.
  • To compare these levels with those reported in endurance athletes.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 14 competitive powerlifters was assessed.
  • Exercise dependence scores were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Powerlifters demonstrated significantly higher scores for exercise dependence.
  • These scores exceeded those previously documented for endurance athletes.

Conclusions:

  • Competitive powerlifting may be associated with a greater risk of exercise dependence.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the specific factors contributing to this in strength athletes.
