Resumo
O objectivo desse estudo foi relacionar a frequência de vigorexia e dos níveis
de dependência do exercício em população de frequentadores de academias e
fisiculturistas. A amostra probabilística foi composta de 151 frequentadores de
academia (27,66, ±6,54 anos de idade; 81,80, ±17,24 Kg de massa corporal;
1,74, ±0,07 m de estatura; 27,56, ±5,03 de IMC) e a amostra não probabilística
foi composta de 25 fisiculturistas (30,80, ±5,54 anos de idade; 82,87, ±13,11 Kg
de massa corporal; 1,77, ±0,07 m de estatura; 26,72, ±4,24 de IMC). Os
participantes responderam dois questionários de pesquisa, a “Escala de
dependência do exercício” e o “Inventário de Dismorfia Muscular”. Os dados
foram analisados segundo o Teste Shapiro Wilk para verificar a normalidade
para dados antropométricos e características referentes ao exercício físico e
Mann Whitney U Test como teste não paramétrico para verificar as diferenças
entre fisiculturistas e frequentadores de academias nas mesmas modalidades.
O teste Mann-Whitney U Test foi utilizado para analisar a estatística descritiva
inferencial da Escala de Dependência do Exercício e também do Inventário de
Dismorfia Muscular em fisiculturistas e frequentadores de academias. E para
correlacionar as subescalas de dependência do exercício e as subescalas do
inventário de dismorfia muscular em fisiculturistas e frequentadores de
academias, foi utilizada a Correlação de Spearman. Os resultados foram que
não existem diferenças significativas quanto aos níveis de vigorexia e de
dependência do exercício em frequentadores de academias e fisiculturistas.
Existe uma grande correlação entre vigorexia e dependência do exercício para
quase todos os sintomas analisados, de modo que os frequentadores
apresentam uma correlação maior em frequência e os fisiculturistas uma
correlação maior em intensidade. Concluiu-se que em ambas as amostras, os
níveis de vigorexia e de dependência do exercício são proporcionais, sendo
essa correlação maior em fisiculturistas.
This study aims at relating the frequency of bigorexy and the levels of dependence to exercising in gym goers and bodybuilders. The probability sampling contained 151 gym goers (27.66, ±6.54 years old; 81.80, ±17.24kg of body mass; 1.74, ±0,07m height; 27.56, ±5,03 BMI classification) and the nonprobability sample contained 25 bodybuilders (30.80, ±5,54 years old; 82.87, ±13.11 Kg of body mass; 1.77, ±0.07m height; 26.72, ±4,24 BMI classification). The participants answered two questionnaires: “Exercise Dependence Scale” and “Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory”. The data was analyzed according to the Shapiro Wilk Test in order to verify the anthropometric data and the characteristics related to physical exercise and the Mann Whitney U Test as a non-parametric test in order to verify the differences between bodybuilders and gym goers in the same modality. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to analyze the descriptive inferential statistics of the Exercise Dependence Scale and the Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory in bodybuilders and gym goers. In order to correlate the exercise dependence sub-scales and the muscle dysmorphic in bodybuilders and gym goers inventory sub-scales, the Spearman Correlation was used. The results showed that there are no significant differences in relation to the bigorexy levels and the dependence to exercises between gym goers and bodybuilders. There is a correlation between bigorexy and the dependency to exercises for almost all the analyzed symptoms, meaning that the gym goers show a greater correlation in frequency and the bodybuilders a greater correlation in intensity. It is possible to conclude that in both samples, the level of bigorexy and dependence to exercise are proportional, although this correlation is greater with bodybuilders.
