“…Exercise dependence involves a reliance on exercise to relieve symptoms of anxiety and produce positive mood states (Freimuth, Moniz, & Kim, 2011). This measure was used as a descriptive tool in the current study, given that exercise dependence has commonly been found to be related to exercise behavior and DE symptoms (e.g., Da Silva, Da Silva, Das Silva, Pedrino, & Rosa, 2013; Hausenblas & Fallon, 2002). Items asking about minutes of mild (minimal effort; e.g., yoga, archery, bowling, golf, easy walking), moderate (not exhausting; e.g., fast walking, baseball, tennis, easy bicycling), and strenuous (heartbeats rapidly; e.g., running, jogging, hockey, football, soccer) exercise for the past week were also asked and used for descriptive purposes.…”
