Abstract

Introduction

CrossFit is among the sports that involve high-intensity exercises. It often takes the form of group training and may lead to an increased risk for injuries in the case of excessive commitment. Exercise addiction (EA), which may lead to more frequent injuries, is often related to low self-esteem and narcissism. The aims of this study were: to establish the percentage of CrossFit participants at risk from EA; to examine whether there are differences in psychological traits between those CrossFit participants at risk and those not at risk; and to establish profiles of CrossFit participants according to their psychological traits and EA levels.

Methods

The study included 110 women training CrossFit. The questionnaires used were as follows: Exercise Addiction Inventory, Self-Liking/Self-Competence Scale, Self-Compassion Short Scale, Appearance Schemas Inventory, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Narcissistic Admiration, and a Rivalry Questionnaire.

Results

In total, 24.5% of the participants were at a high risk of EA. Strong EA in women training CrossFit is related to two profiles of self-esteem and narcissism. One is characterised by high self-esteem and high narcissism connected with admiration, and the second – by low self-esteem and high rivalry narcissism.

Conclusions

The links between self-image, narcissism and EA are complex; the knowledge of various profiles of psychological factors that may lead to a high addiction risk may translate into creating psychoeducational programs concerning risky training, which are adequately suited to the needs of the women.

运动训练的阴暗面。女性综合健身训练中的自尊、自恋与运动成瘾
混合健身是一种高强度运动。它通常采取集体训练的形式,在过度投入的情况下可能导致受伤的风险增加。运动成瘾(EA)可能导致更频繁的伤害,通常与低自尊和自恋有关。本研究的目的是:确定有EA风险的CrossFit参与者的百分比;检查有风险和没有风险的混合健身参与者在心理特征上是否存在差异;并根据参与者的心理特征和EA水平建立他们的档案。方法研究对象为110名进行混合健身训练的女性。采用的问卷包括:运动成瘾量表、自我喜欢/自我能力量表、自我同情短量表、外貌图式量表、生活满意度量表、自恋崇拜量表和竞争问卷。结果24.5%的参与者存在高EA风险,高EA与女性的自尊和自恋有关。一种是高度自尊和高度自恋,并伴有钦佩;另一种是低自尊和高度竞争型自恋。结论自我形象、自恋与EA之间的联系是复杂的;对可能导致高成瘾风险的各种心理因素的了解可以转化为创建有关风险培训的心理教育计划,这些计划充分适合妇女的需要。
