Purpose: Studies on craving may be conducted for exercise addiction, which is one part of behavioraladdiction, just like many studies that focused on craving for behavioral addiction. Hence, the objective ofthis study is to develop and validate scale that can measure craving for exercise. Methods: To developthe scale to measure the craving for exercise, 37 preliminary questionnaire items were selected based onthe literature review and previous studies. Adult men and women who exercise more than 30 minutesonce a week were set as the population. For sampling, survey focused on 300 adults full aged above 19and below 80 through purposed cluster. The survey was performed two times. Analysis of questions andexploratory factors was performed based on data collected in the 1st survey. Analysis of confirmatoryfactor sand verification of cross/convergent validity were performed based on data collected in the 2ndsurvey. Results: First, measurement tools of exercise craving were structured into eight questions on singlefactors based on analysis of exploratory factors. Second, measurement tools of exercise craving deliverreliability. Third, measurement tools of exercise craving have structural validity based on analysis ofconfirmatory factors. Fourth, measurement tools of exercise craving verified their convergent/predictivevalidity. Conclusion: This study suggested the possibility of conducting studies on craving in exercisepsychology studies, as well, at a time when no studies on exercise craving were conducted anddeveloped an scale with which exercise craving can be measured in a reliable and valid manner. Theseall serve as new data applicable to future studies on exercise psychology.
