INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSCLE DYSMORPHIA AND EXERCISE ADDICTION IN MALE BODYBUILDERS: EXAMPLE OF SİVAS

Abstract

In this study, it aims to examine the relationship between muscle perception disorder and exercise addiction in male bodybuilders. A total of 115 male volunteer body builders with an average age of X age =23,76±5, 77 participated in the study. In our study, which was in the relational screening model, SPSS 22.0 program had been used for the analysis of the data. Skewness and kurtosis analysis values were used to determine the normality distribution of the data as statistically. After the analysis determined that the data showed a normal distribution, pearson-correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between the variables. The significance level was taken as p<0.05. According to the findings of our study, exercise addiction between and the sub-dimension of the scale of muscle perception disorders (functional impairment, appearance intolerances); Muscle perception disorder with B.M.I (a measure of appearance intolerance and body desire) A statistically significant relationship was found between the sub-dimensions. In other sub-dimensions, a statistically significant relationship could not be determined. The data obtained from our study, athletes' addiction to exercise muscle perception disorders related to functional deterioration and appearance intolerance will increase in parallel with the increase in levels, It can be interpreted as the increase in B.M.I measurements, the increase in appearance intolerances and the desire for body size will decrease.
