“…These research findings may also fit with the two-dimensional view of passion proposed by Szabo and colleagues [ 13 , 14 ]. This view suggests that passion can be understood and classified according to the co-occurrence of the two types of passion (i.e., harmonious and obsessive).…”

“…This means that, in addition to their unique effects, the within-person combinations of HP and OP (based on high/low levels of HP/OP) may matter for predicting sport outcomes. Researchers have started to place a greater emphasis on this two-dimensional view of passion and study the interplay between both HP and OP within individuals (Bélanger & Ratelle, 2021;Li et al, 2020;Szabo, 2018;Szabo et al, 2022). One approach that has emerged in this area is the quadripartite approach to passion.…”

“…Others have approached the study of passion for a different perspective. Szabo et al (2022), for example, distinguish between four passion combinations using median-split procedures: intense or "true" passion (high HP and high OP), balanced connection (high HP and low OP), obligatory connection (low HP and high OP) and little passion (low HP and low OP). This perspective is aligned with Lawrie's (1980) conceptualization of passion, which views passion as a form of energy that involves both positive and negative elements (e.g., high HP and high OP).…”

We tested if distinct combinations of harmonious passion and obsessive passion for sport were associated with outcomes within sport, academics, and in one's life. We analyzed data from the Student-athlete Well-being and Achievement Project (SWAP), a study in which intercollegiate student-athletes (N = 298) completed assessments of harmonious and obsessive passion at the start of a season, and assessments of performance, experiences, and satisfaction in sport, academics, and in life at the end of a season. Results showed that high harmonious passion combined with low obsessive passion (i.e., pure harmonious passion) was most often associated with the most adaptive outcomes, whereas high obsessive passion combined with low harmonious passion (i.e., pure obsessive passion) was associated with the least adaptive outcomes. These results build on previous research with recreational athletes (Schellenberg et al., 2021) by showing the benefits of pursuing competitive sport with high harmonious passion, especially pure harmonious passion.

“…Szabo et al. ( 2022 ) have argued that harmonious and obsessive passion are independent predictors of EA, and when they are controlled, EA-related group differences often vanish. Identified problem: Passion for exercise may predict or confound EA measures.…”

“…However, a recent study indicated that when a minimal weekly volume of training (i.e., three (3) hours per week) is set as a criterion for participant recruitment, no gender differences are evident in EA (Szabo et al. 2022 ). Identified problem: Gender differences are not examined under standardised conditions.…”

This narrative overview summarises the work on exercise addiction (EA) over the past 12 years and exposes critical conceptual and methodological issues. More than 1000 articles exist on EA, conceptualised as uncontrolled training harming the individual. Still, EA has no clinical diagnosis criteria at this time. Research is increasing continuously, but it is stale in advancing knowledge. Scalar measurement and lack of differentiation between addictive and instrumental exercise could be reasons for insufficient progress. Exercise addiction fits in the framework of behavioural addictions, but excessive exercise patterns also co-occur with other morbidities, including eating or body-image disorders. In these cases, exercise is instrumental; it functions to achieve a non-exercise-related goal. Therefore, it is essential to separate primary from secondary EA. Based on the interactional model, significant stress and capacity-exceeding ambitions fuel primary EA, while chief motives behind secondary EA embed body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders. Few reports exist on EA’s brain mechanisms, which could delay its classification as a distinct psychiatric dysfunction. Treatment of EA involves cognitive-behavioural approaches, but we know little about their effectiveness. Conceptually focussed psychophysiological research and in-depth interviews, complementing scalar data, could answer several open questions in this widely studied but relatively stagnant scholastic field.
