Abstract

While the association between exercise behavior and eating-disordered behavior (EDB) has been of interest to researchers for decades (see [26]), the status, and definition, of "excessive exercise" as an EDB remain unclear. Here, we reflect, with the benefit of hindsight, on the problems of definition and perspective that beset this field of inquiry.
