The Relationship of Muscle Dysmorphia with Exercise Addiction, Body Image and Protein Consumption in Male Power and Strength Athletes

Abstract

Objectives: Muscle dysmorphia is a psychological problem, and its incidence is reported to increase with the effect of many factors. This study was planned to determine the presence of muscle dysmorphia in adult male power and strength athletes; and to evaluate protein consumption, exercise addiction, and body image in athletes according to the risk of muscle dysmorphia. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with 69 adult male power and strength athletes. General information of the participants, food consumption frequency form, muscle dysmorphia disorder inventory, exercise addiction scale, body image coping strategies scale were used, and air displacement plethysmography and anthropometric measurements were taken. Results: The rate of athletes with bigorexia was determined as 10.1%. It was determined that as the scores of athletes on the muscle perception disorder scale increased their exercise addiction and body image coping strategies scale scores increased. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between muscle perception disorder score and protein consumption. A 1 g change in protein consumption resulted in a positive change of 0.038 points on the muscle dysmorphia disorder scale; It was determined that a 1-unit change in the total score on the muscle dysmorphia disorder scale contributed to 0.497 units of positive changes in exercise addiction and 0.909 units of positive changes in body image. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that as the risk of muscle dysmorphia increases in athletes, exercise dependence, body perception disorders and the amount of protein consumed increase in direct proportion.These results may be an indicator of body perception disorders, exercise addiction and nutritional errors in athletes who may be at risk of muscle dysmorphia disorders. It was concluded that strength and power athletes should be evaluated in terms of muscle dysmorphia risk and related factors (such as body image, self-esteem, exercise addiction).
