This study aims to use the qualitative study method to find out the process, pattern and tendency towards exercise addiction in athletes who have symptoms of exercise addiction. There are 9 objects in this study: 3 cyclists, 3 golfers and 3 inline skaters. We selected those who recognize they have exercise addiction by using purposeful sampling. The data was gathered with in-depth interviews and participants’ observation and was processed through content analysis. As the result of this study, participants understand that exercise addiction causes inconvenience in business and everyday life and also has positive and negative effects on physical and mental views due to relying excessively on exercise. The case of exercise addiction shows that the interest and the need for exercise is motivated by exercise participation at first and then by suggestions from others to exercise. After that, they reach the affection and immersion level of exercise through the experience of positive effects on their physical and mental views and socialization with colleagues. Since then, they reach the level of positive and negative exercise addiction as they get stronger for the affection and immersion on exercise. Moreover, they lose the capacity to control the exercise limit for themselves. Positive exercise addiction is good for physical and mental health and relieves tension, depression and stress. In addition, it gives more energy and serves as a supplement to life with the feeling of achievement, self-confidence and happiness. However, the negative exercise addiction is understood as being a more important part of life than family, society and work. They experience withdrawal symptoms(anxiety, tension and irritation), strong tolerance and dependence which are the main factors for deciding the level of addiction. It shows that they reduce social activity and job performance as well.

현대사회에 있어서 신체활동 연구의 주요 탐구과제는 ‘신체활동을 통한 교육’으로부터 ‘인간의 기본적인 움직임’을 목표로 하는 스포츠적인 움직임을 중심으로 한 생명 활동의 개념으로 급속히 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 본학회는 ‘체육’적인 요소에서 ‘스포츠’적인 요소를 중심으로 한 학문적 정체성을 견고히 하고, 정기적인 학술지 발간과 학술활동을 통해 한국스포츠츠 문화의 발전과 학문적인 발전에 기여하는데 그 목적이 있다.
