An update on the definition of "excessive exercise" in eating disorders

Article Abstract:

The definition of 'excessive exercise' in a community sample of women is presented by examining relations between exercise behavior, eating-disordered behavior, and quality of life (QOL). It is suggested that exercise is excessive when its postponement is accompanied by intense guilt or when it is undertaken solely to influence weight or shape.
