| description | Aim and Objective: This study was intended for a possible relationship that might exist between exercise addiction and unbending commitment among female amateur runners. Exercise addiction (EA) can be characterized as an obsession with physical activity; Materials and Methods: The “purposive sampling method” was utilized to collect data. The inventories taken for this purpose were “The Exercise Addiction Inventory” and “Commitment Running Scale.” The questionnaire was filled out by 100 participants aged between 18 and 50 years from the capital of India and its border area (Delhi and NCR). Results and Conclusion: It was found that 39% of female long-distance runners were exercise addicts, and 72% were highly committed to running, supporting a probable reason for EA. |
