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.
