Description
Elsahoryi, Abu-Alhija, and Alhaj survey exercise addiction risk in hobby athletes in Jordan in twenty twenty-six. Compulsive exercise can harm mind and body, yet it is rarely studied in Arabic speaking groups. More than one thousand adults from gyms across Jordan filled surveys on exercise habits, mood, and food choices. Close to half screened as at risk on a standard inventory.
At risk athletes had far higher stress, low mood, and anxiety scores. They chose food for performance and weight control more than for taste or custom. Men, heavy exercisers, and the highly stressed were most apt to screen at risk. The authors warn the tool screens rather than diagnoses. Living alone and pleasure in food seemed protective.
