Abstract

The reasons for exercise inventory (REI) is a self-report instrument to assess why people exercise. It is important to assess the reasons for exercise in people with an eating disorder (ED), who regularly suffer from compulsive exercise. In this study the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the REI and differences in scores are evaluated in an ED and a community sample consisting of women. Factor analysis revealed three factors: health, appearance/weight and mood. Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest) was good. The ED sample scored significantly lower on the Health subscale and significantly higher on the appereance/weight and mood subscales than the community sample exercising for appearance/weight showed a moderately positive correlation with EDE-Q scores in both samples. The Dutch version of the REI showed promising psychometric properties that support its value for clinical and research purposes. Using three subscales may enhance research and assessment of the reasons for exercise.

运动清单的理由：在社区样本和饮食失调女性样本中验证荷兰版本。

运动原因量表（REI）是一种评估人们运动原因的自我报告工具。饮食失调（ED）患者经常遭受强迫性运动的折磨，评估他们运动的原因很重要。在这项研究中，荷兰版REI的心理测量特性和分数的差异在ED和一个由女性组成的社区样本中进行了评估。因素分析揭示了三个因素：健康、外貌/体重和情绪。信度（内部一致性，测试-重测）良好。与社区样本相比，ED样本在健康亚量表上的得分明显较低，在外表/体重和情绪亚量表上的得分明显较高。在两个样本中，锻炼外表/体重与ED - q得分呈中等正相关。荷兰版本的REI显示出有希望的心理测量特性，支持其在临床和研究目的上的价值。使用三个分量表可以加强对运动原因的研究和评估。
