dc.description.abstractThis study aims to investigate the correlation between exercise addiction and attitudes towards healthy nutrition across various demographic groups. Exercise addiction, characterized by compulsive exercise despite negative consequences, is asscociated with psychological and social challenges. This addiction often coexists with eating disorders and extreme dietary habits aimed at improving performance or achieving aesthetic goals. The research employs a correlational survey model to analyze the connection between exercise addiction and attitudes towards healthy eating. Data from 485 participants using the exercise addiction Scale (EAS) and the atitude towards healthy eating scale (ASHN). The results showed significant gender differences, with men exhibiting higher exercise addiction scores than women. However, attitudes towards healthy eating did not significantly differ between genders. Participants with an athlete license also showed higher levels of exercise addiction compared to those without a license. Still, there was no significant difference in healthy eating attitudes based on license status. Marital status revealed that single individuals had higher exercise addiction scores than married individuals, who showed more positive attitudes towards healthy nutrition. The study also found that exercise frequency was positively correlated with both exercise addiction and positive nutritional attitudes, highlighting the importance of regular physical activity in promoting healthy behaviours. Older individuals showed lower levels of exercise addiction but less positive attitudes towards healthy nutrition, suggesting that age-related changes influence exercise behaviours and dietary attitudes. The findings underscore the need for holistic interventions addressing both psychological and nutritional aspects of exercise addiction. Targeted programs for specific demographics, such as young athletes or single individuals, may help mitigate exercise addiction and promote healthier nutritional habits. © JPES.en_US
