Resumen

Antecedentes: el objetivo de este estudio fue validar al contexto español el Inventario de Adicción al Ejercicio (EAI). Método: quinientos ochenta y cuatro estudiantes universitarios participaron en el estudio, completando un cuestionario que evaluaba la adicción al ejercicio físico, la frecuencia y la intensidad de práctica física. Resultados: los resultados apoyaron la validez factorial del modelo del EAI. Se obtuvo un valor alfa de Cronbach igual a .70 y un nivel elevado de estabilidad temporal (ICC = .92). La estructura del modelo se mostró invariante respecto al género. Ochenta y siete estudiantes (14,9%) obtuvieron una puntuación total de 24 o más en el EAI, siendo clasificados como en riesgo de adicción. Los estudiantes que informaron realizar ejercicio con una frecuencia de más de tres días a la semana y una intensidad alta puntuaron más alto en adicción al ejercicio que los estudiantes que informaron realizar ejercicio con una intensidad baja-media, independientemente de su frecuencia de práctica semanal. Conclusiones: los resultados proporcionan evidencias para la fiabilidad y validez del EAI en el contexto español, lo que permite contar con un instrumento práctico y fácil de utilizar que posibilita realizar un tamizaje de la adicción al ejercicio.
