It is suitable for adolescents and adults who engage in regular physical activity, including recreational exercisers and competitive athletes. It may be used in clinical, counseling, or sport settings as a brief screen.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) Test

addiction sport

This brief self-report screen is designed to identify risk for problematic patterns of exercise behavior. The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) provides a rapid indicator of whether exercise may be becoming excessively prioritized or difficult to regulate.

Developed by Griffiths, Szabo, and Terry, it consists of 6 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Responses are used to support initial clinical impressions and to guide follow-up assessment when concerns about compulsive exercise, interference with functioning, or distress related to training are present.

The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) is intended for screening rather than diagnosis and should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview, relevant history, and other sources of information.
