Subtypes of exercise are differentially associated with baseline eating disorder pathology and treatment outcome among individuals with bulimia nervosa. Int J Eat Disord 2024; 57:363-375. [PMID: 38065930 PMCID: PMC10922686 DOI: 10.1002/eat.24103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN) engage in both maladaptive (i.e., compulsive and/or compensatory) and adaptive exercise (e.g., for enjoyment). No research has examined whether those who engage in adaptive, compulsive, and/or compensatory exercise exhibit differences in BN pathology or treatment outcome compared to those not engaging in exercise, limiting intervention efficacy. METHOD We examined associations of baseline exercise engagement with baseline and posttreatment BN pathology among 106 treatment-seeking adults (Mage = 37.4, SDage = 12.95, 87.74% female, 68.87% White) enrolled across four clinical trials of outpatient enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy for BN (range: 12-16 sessions). Analysis of covariances examined associations between baseline exercise type and baseline/posttreatment global eating pathology, dietary restraint, loss-of-control (LOC) eating, and purging frequency. RESULTS Those engaging in only adaptive exercise reported lower global eating pathology compared to those engaging in compulsive-only exercise (Est = -1.493, p = .014, Mdiff = -.97) while those engaging in baseline compulsive exercise reported less LOC eating compared to those not engaging in exercise (Est = -22.42, p = .012, Mdiff = -12.50). Baseline engagement in compulsive-only exercise was associated with lower posttreatment global eating pathology compared to baseline engagement in no exercise (Est = -.856, p = .023, Mdiff = -.64) and both compulsive and compensatory exercise (Est = .895, p = .026, Mdiff = -1.08). DISCUSSION Those engaging in compulsive, compensatory, adaptive, and no exercise exhibit different patterns and severity of BN pathology. Future research is needed to position treatments to intervene on maladaptive, while still promoting adaptive, exercise. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT No research to date has examined whether those who engage in adaptive, compulsive, and/or compensatory exercise exhibit differences in BN pathology or treatment outcome compared to those not engaging in exercise, limiting targeted intervention efforts. We found that those engaging in compulsive, compensatory, and adaptive exercise exhibit different patterns of BN pathology and that adaptive exercise engagement was related to lower cognitive eating disorder symptoms at baseline.

Abstract
Background Obesity is the pandemic of this era. At the same time, the commercialisation of thinness has also increased its adversity. Dissatisfaction with body shape is leading to many eating disorders. These disorders further cause several health problems. It has been found that individuals with eating disorders experience insomnia, depression, and anxiety. It also affects the endocrine system and digestive systems of the body. The surgical approach provides a more efficient treatment of obesity with sustainable results. Sleeve gastrectomy is the most popular surgical treatment. Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the prominent bariatric surgeries. Patients going through sleeve gastrectomy not only lose weight but also improve their mental health. Objective This study assesses the relationship between obesity, eating disorders, and physical health. It also focuses on the prevalence of sleeve gastrectomy procedures in such individuals and their outcomes. Methods This study used a cross-sectional design and a convenient sampling technique. The obese individuals who had eating disorders residing in Medina Al-Munawara and Riyadh city were taken as the samples. Online questionnaires were shared with participants to collect their perspectives on their weight, eating disorders, and their impact on physical health. The study collected both retrospective and present data. Results A total sample of 335 participants was taken, of which 181 (54%) were females and 154 (46%) were males, with a mean BMI of 28.85±2.57. The fear of weight gain was found among 265 (79%) of participants, 151 (45%) were feeling guilt while eating, 275 (82%) were weighing themselves daily, 325 (97%) were unable to stop eating even when complete, and 117 (35%) were unable to control themselves when they have food. As per the methods of avoiding weight gain, 166 (49.6%) were skipping a meal, 157 (47%) were following a diet, 17 (5%) were inducing vomiting, and 16 (4.8%) reused laxatives and diuretics. A total of 158 (47.2%) were involved in sports, but it was reduced to 61 (18.25%) upon sickness. Only 24 (7%) participants had undergone sleeve gastrostomy, and 181 (54%) believed that their cravings had increased, 238 (71%) complained of dizziness, and 151 (45%) believed that fast food caused gut unrest. Conclusion Obese individuals who are going through eating disorders are psychologically and physically compromised. They consider skipping meals to be the most efficient means of weight loss, and only a small percentage prefer to go for sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This scoping review aimed to provide a recent update on how to address dysfunctional physical activity and exercise (DEx), and on effects and experiences from including supervised and adapted physical activity or exercise (PAE), during treatment of eating disorders. RECENT FINDINGS A systematic search for peer-reviewed publications in the period 2021-2023 generated 10 original studies and 6 reviews, including one meta-analysis (reporting according to PRISMA and SWiM). Findings showed that DEx was effectively managed by use of psychoeducation and/or PAE. Inclusion of PAE as part of treatment showed low-to-moderate impact on health and positive or neutral effects on eating disorder psychopathology. There were no reports of adverse events. For individuals with anorexia nervosa, PAE improved physical fitness with no influence on body weight or body composition unless progressive resistance training was conducted. For individuals with bulimia nervosa, DEx was reduced simultaneously with increased functional exercise and successful implementation of physical activity recommendations during treatment. Experiences by individuals with eating disorders and clinicians, including accredited exercise physiologists, pointed to positive benefits by including PAE in treatment. SUMMARY Lack of consensus about DEx and of recommendations for PAE in official treatment guidelines hinder adequate approaches to these issues in eating disorder treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The high burden of eating disorders (EDs) and limited availability of treatment speaks of a need to explore new avenues for treatment delivery. To understand if new treatment avenues are helpful and acceptable to patients, we investigated the effectiveness of Physical Exercise and Dietary Therapy (PED-t) in participants with bulimia nervosa or binge-eating disorder, and acceptability when the PED-t was implemented in a Healthy Life Center in a municipal primary healthcare service. METHOD Exercise physiologists and one dietitian were trained in ED literacy and to run PED-t, before screening women for eligibility. Effectiveness (n = 16) of PED-t and participants' experiences (n = 8) were evaluated by a mixed methods study design. Results were analyzed by relevant statistics and reflexive thematic analysis. RESULTS Of 19 eligible participants, 16 completed treatment. At post-treatment, the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire global score, binge-eating frequency, and symptoms of depression were lower, and nine (56% of completers) were in remission. Participants' treatment experiences were classified into two overarching themes: "competence" and "emotional support." Participants reported high acceptance for PED-t, the local venue and group format, and felt that PED-t provided them with coping tools and increased mental strength. However, many also spoke of an unmet need to address emotional eating. DISCUSSION Findings point to a potential for making an effective ED therapy more accessible, and that participants find the local low-threshold delivery within a group-format helpful. With small adjustments, the PED-t could emerge as a promising first-line treatment for bulimic EDs. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Limited access to treatment for EDs, patients' high barriers to help-seeking, and the high rates of limited efficacy from psychotherapy speak of a need to explore new therapies and avenues for delivery. In this study, we build on findings from a controlled ED treatment trial and replicate the beneficial effects and find a high patient acceptance of "physical exercise and diet therapy" implemented in a real, non-clinical setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) often engage in maladaptive exercise (e.g., feeling driven, or to "compensate" for eating) which maintains eating pathology. Maladaptive exercise has been theorized to help individuals with EDs regulate emotions by enhancing positive affect (PA) and reducing negative affect (NA) associated with binge episodes and poor body image. However, no research has considered the presence of non-maladaptive exercise or evaluated this theory in binge-spectrum EDs. METHODS This study evaluated affective trajectories pre- and post-exercise and examined exercise type (maladaptive or non-maladaptive) as a moderator. We recruited adults with binge-spectrum EDs (N = 107; n = 84 endorsed exercise) to complete a 7- to 14-day ecological momentary assessment protocol assessing NA (anxiety, guilt, and sadness), PA (excitement and cheerfulness), and exercise. RESULTS There was a significant quadratic trajectory of PA pre-exercise, suggesting that the upward trajectory of PA leveled out as it moved closer to an exercise episode. Exercise type significantly moderated the cubic trajectory of PA post-exercise, such that the upward trajectory of PA accelerated in the hours following non-maladaptive exercise episodes while the downward trajectory of PA accelerated in the hours following maladaptive exercise episodes. No trajectories of NA demonstrated significant effects. CONCLUSIONS Pre-exercise trajectories of PA may reflect positive expectancies around exercise. Post-exercise trajectories of PA suggest that non-maladaptive exercise promotes increased PA. Future research should evaluate when, and for whom, exercise serves to regulate affect and examine other momentary risk factors of exercise in EDs. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE Individuals with EDs often engage in maladaptive exercise (e.g., feeling driven, or to "compensate" for eating). Maladaptive exercise has been theorized to help individuals with EDs regulate emotions. This study evaluated affective trajectories pre- and post-exercise and examined whether exercise type (maladaptive or non-maladaptive) changed these trajectories. Pre-exercise trajectories of PA may reflect positive expectancies around exercise. Post-exercise trajectories of PA suggest that non-maladaptive exercise promotes increased PA.

Abstract
Objective With the popularization and development of online media technology, more and more women are paying attention to their body image and physical behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of online sexual objectification experience on the physical activity of female college students and verify the mediating role of body-image depression between them. Methods A cross-sectional convenient sample of 882 female college students from four universities in Hubei Province completed an online survey, and the Online Sexual Objectification Experience Scale (OSOES), the Body-Image Depression Questionnaire, and the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS) were used to collect the data. The mediating effect of the association between online sexual objectification experience and physical activity, was examined using the process procedure in SPSS and the bootstrap method. Results Online sexual objectification experience was significantly positively correlated with physical activity (r = 0.420, p < 0.01). Body-image depression was significantly negatively correlated with online sexual objectification experience and physical activity (r = -0.484, p < 0.01; r = -0.569, p < 0.01). Online sexual objectification experience can affect physical activity directly (β = 6.49, p < 0.001, effect value 44.97%) and also indirectly through body-image depression (β = 7.95, p < 0.001, effect value 55.03%); there were significant differences between major and education-level categories in body-image depression and physical activity. Conclusion Both online sexual objectification experience and body-image depression can promote physical activity among female college students, and body-image depression has a mediating effect between online sexual objectification experience and physical activity.

Abstract
Individuals with eating disorders (ED) experience prolonged malnutrition, binge episodes, and compensatory behaviours that affect every organ system. Psychological and physiological symptoms are worsened with comorbid dysfunctional exercise, seen in up to 80% of those with an ED. Although return to exercise is an important component of treatment and recovery, little is known about the contraindications and risks of exercise engagement specific to those with an ED. This paper provides a comprehensive narrative review of the medical and physiological complications of engaging in exercise during ED treatment and outlines when exercise may be contraindicated or used in modified or cautionary ways. We conducted a literature search on MEDLINE, PubMed, and PsychArticles to identify relevant articles, which yielded six categories of medical and physiological complications of ED that may be exacerbated by exercise: energy availability, cardiovascular health, electrolyte abnormalities, biomedical function markers, sex hormones, and body composition. We summarize the evidence for these complications for readers and offer an initial set of recommendations for incorporating exercise during ED treatment based on our findings. This review may serve as a resource for members of ED treatment teams to help evaluate more readily and confidently whether exercise is safe for individual patients and when modifications and caution may be warranted.

Abstract
Wearable fitness trackers are an increasingly popular tool for measuring physical activity (PA) due their accuracy and momentary data collection abilities. Despite the benefits of using wearable fitness trackers, there is limited research in the eating disorder (ED) field using wearable fitness trackers to measure PA in the context of EDs. Wearable fitness trackers are often underused in ED research because there is limited knowledge about whether wearable fitness trackers negatively or positively impact PA engagement and ED symptoms in individuals with EDs. The current study aimed to assess the perceived impact wearable fitness trackers have on PA engagement and ED symptoms over a 12-week CBT treatment for 30 individuals with binge eating and restrictive eating that presented to treatment engaging or not engaging in maladaptive exercise. Participants in the maladaptive exercise group (n = 17) and non-maladaptive exercise group (n = 13) wore a fitness tracker for 12 weeks and completed questionnaires assessing participants' perceptions of the fitness trackers' influence on ED symptoms and PA engagement throughout treatment. Results demonstrated a small percentage of individuals perceived the fitness tracker influenced ED behaviors or PA engagement, and there were mixed results on whether participants positively or negatively perceived the fitness tracker influenced them to engage in ED behaviors or PA engagement. Although preliminary, these results demonstrate the need to continue using objective measurements of PA via wearable fitness trackers to further our understanding of the positive and negative effects of fitness trackers on clinical ED samples.Level of Evidence: Level 1, randomized controlled trial.

Development and validation of a scale for the tendency to exercise in response to mood, eating, and body image cues: the Reactive Exercise Scale (RES). Eat Weight Disord 2022; 27:3317-3330.

Abstract
PURPOSE Earlier work on engaging in physical exercise when experiencing negative affect demonstrated robust associations with eating disorder (ED) behaviors and attitudes; however, measurement of the behavior was primitive, relying on one yes/no question that cannot capture much variability. We report on the development of a self-report measure, the Reactive Exercise Scale (RES), that disentangles the tendency to engage in exercise in response to negative mood cues from the tendency to engage in exercise in response to eating and body image cues, which themselves may be associated with negative mood. The measure also assesses exercising in response to positive mood cues. METHODS Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) guided item and factor selection. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in an independent sample tested a 3-factor solution-exercising in response to negative mood cues, eating and body image cues, and positive mood cues. Correlations with exercise attitudes, eating disorder and body image attitudes, mood, and personality were used to evaluate construct validity. RESULTS Results supported the 3-factor structure and indicated that exercising in response to negative mood cues may not uniquely relate to most aspects of ED psychopathology when accounting for eating and body image cues, which themselves are associated with negative mood. CONCLUSION The RES captures the tendency to exercise in response to negative mood, positive mood, and eating and body image cues. Together, these constructs allow researchers to examine the unique relations of negative mood cued exercise with ED constructs, while accounting for appearance-related motives for which exercise may also be used. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III: evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.

Abstract
Exercise Satiation is a novel theoretical conceptualization for problematic exercise often observed in eating disorders. Problematic exercise is present across the spectrum of eating disorder presentations and is a cardinal symptom of eating disorders that has been difficult to treat historically. Conceptualizing exercise in the context of Reward Satiation similar to other biological drives such as eating could provide new insights into the etiology, maintenance, and treatment of problematic exercise in eating disorders. Through this understanding, we may be able to provide and increase adherence to interventions that target these mechanisms and as such, reduce impairment associated with problematic exercise for those with eating disorders. Using the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework, we propose and discuss potential research avenues to explore Exercise Satiation in the context of eating disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical research focusing on the effectiveness of exercise therapy (ET) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) shows increasing interest in the last decade. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview of quantitative studies that have examined the impact of ET in AN patients and to examine its specific effects on physical and mental health according to the type of physical exercise (PE) practiced. METHODS The review was carried out based on the PRISMA 2020. Electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Wiley were searched from inception to December 2021. Quantitative studies assessing the effects of ET interventions on AN patients were included and study quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. RESULTS A total of 27 studies were selected, including 13 randomized controlled trials. Regarding outcomes measured, results showed that aerobic and resistance exercise improved muscle strength, that mind-body PE decreased main symptoms of AN and mental health, and that combined PE reduced dysfunctional exercise and improved weight gain. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that ET intervention can induce benefits and has no deleterious effects on patients. In addition, specific effects on anorexia symptoms and physical and mental health have been observed according to the type of PE. However, this review reported several methodological weaknesses, including a lack of control group or randomization and statistical misconduct. Finally, ET intervention parameters were heterogeneous, and ET intervention generally lacked details, making reproducibility and comparability difficult. All these limitations underscore the need for a more rigorous methodology for further research.
