Study objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise addiction levels of adults and search the correlation between exercise addiction and gender, age, and exercise experience. Methods: A total of 148 obese (body mass index > 30) men and women who exercise regularly at least one hour per day and at least three days per week for four months were recruited randomly for the study. Data were collected using "Demographic Information Form" and "Exercise Addiction Scale (EAS)". Results: Scores of EAS were evaluated through these three sub-dimensions of the scale; "Excessive Focus and Emotion Change", "Postponement of Individual-Social Needs and Conflict", "Tolerance Development and Passion". Statistically significant relationships were found between sub-dimension scale scores and gender, age, and exercise experience. In all sub-dimension of EAS scores were higher in women than men. Scores of younger adults were higher than the older group. In addition, it was found that individuals who have exercise experience of more than 5 years had lower addiction scores less experienced group. Conclusion: The results suggest that women, older adults, and less experienced individuals have more tendency for exercise addiction.

(Mattioli 1885, 2022) Uysal, Yucel; Toros, Turhan; Cetin, Mehmet Cagri; Ozyol, Funda Coskun; Serin, Emre; Guzel, Sinan; Ozturk, Rabia Yildiz
Study Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate performance enhancement attitudes of active licensed athletes in team sports. Methods: The research sample of this study consists of 371 actively licensed athletes aged 18 and over in team sports (football, basketball, volleyball, and handball). The average age of the athletes is 24.42 +/- 2.12. Participation in the study was carried out on a voluntary and confidential basis. Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale, developed by Petroczi (2002) and adapted to Turkish by Yildiz & Toros (2018), was used as a data collection tool. Results: In the analysis of the data, the Cronbach alpha coefficient test and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used to reveal the test-retest value. The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the team athletes of the scale was 0.84, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.88. Conclusion: According to the research findings, the results of the reliability analysis reveal that the scale can be used on licensed athletes in team sports.
