Abstract

The purpose of the current research was to compare pyschological dependence to exercise level among college students, athletes and fitness club members and to relate it with body image. The sample was composed by 122 individuals (age 24,81 ± 7,5 years), divided in 62 fitness club regular members, 30 college students and 30 competitive. To measure the exercise dependence level was used a questionnaire adapted by Rosa (2004) and to measure boby image was used a instrument adapted by Damasceno (2004). The results depicted that the exercise dependence level was significantly higher in fitness club members (p<0,05) and that there was not found any relation between dependence level and body image.
