|a Retirement from sport can be a difficult period of time for collegiate athletes. In the beginning of the time away from their sport athletes may begin to feel reductions in self-esteem, physical self-worth, and perceived physical attractiveness. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between recently retired athletes and exercise dependence, and how this effects one’s self-esteem and body shape. The results of this study showed us after running bivariate correlations there was a small positive correlation between self-esteem and exercise dependence (r =.25). When comparing self-esteem to perfectionism a moderate positive correlation was found (r = .493). Body shape and exercise dependence are positively correlated (r = .251) self-esteem and body shape have a positive correlation (r = .404). The last bivariate correlation analyzed body shape and perfectionism which gave a medium positive correlation (r = .499). When running a bivariate correlation with exercise dependence and perfectionism model there was a correlation score of (r = .359). Self-esteem and years retired did not explain a significant amount of the variance in exercise dependence. Body shape and years retired did not explain a significant amount of the variance in exercise dependence in retired collegiate athletes. Body shape and perfectionism did not explain a significant amount of the variance in exercise dependence in retired collegiate athletes. This study and its results can be useful to many different groups of people, some being: coaches of collegiate athletes who are about to graduate, collegiate athletes, sport psychologists, and athletic departments through all colleges and universities. If an athlete we are able to conduct more research on what exercise dependence may look like after an athlete graduates from college, this will allow a greater chance for athletes to be more productive after retirement from collegiate sports. It will also help an athlete to have a better understanding of what exercise dependence is. |
