目的 病理性运动是饮食失调中常见的危险行为。尽管大学生和女性患饮食失调的风险同样较高，但缺乏调查男性病理性运动相关特征的数据。参与者 224 名经常锻炼的男性大学生完成了一系列自我报告问卷。方法 根据其他饮食失调态度和行为的严重程度，使用潜在概况分析来识别定期锻炼者的经验得出的同质亚组。还比较了运动动机和一般精神病理学（即抑郁、焦虑）的差异。结果 拟合指数表明了三曲线解决方案。概况描述了饮食精神病理学组、低精神病理学组和没有饮食失调特征的高运动频率组。结论 仅通过运动频率不能识别病理性运动。其他特征，如身体不满意和运动动机风格，与识别大学生的病理性运动行为相关。
Objective Pathological exercise is a dangerous behavior often observed in eating disorders. Data investigating associated characteristics of pathological exercise in men are lacking, despite college men and women being at equally elevated risk for developing eating disorders. Participants Two hundred and twenty-four college men who exercise regularly completed a series of self-report questionnaires. Methods Latent profile analysis was used to identify empirically-derived homogenous subgroups of regular exercisers based on severity of other eating disorder attitudes and behaviors. Profiles were also compared on differences in exercise motivation and general psychopathology (i.e., depression, anxiety). Results Fit indices indicated a three-profile solution. Profiles described an eating psychopathology group, a low psychopathology group, and a high exercise frequency group without eating disorder features. Conclusions Pathological exercise cannot be identified using exercise frequency alone. Other features like body dissatisfaction and exercise motivation style are relevant in identifying pathological exercise behavior in college men.
