The following are results of analyzing 352 life sports participants. 1. Participation of Life Sports Participants and Addiction to Exercise 1) The dispersion analysis between frequency of participation and addiction to exercise revealed that p-values of the three subfactors of addiction to exercise - emotional attachment (p=.000), withdrawal symptoms (p=.000), and desire to exercise (p=.000) - were statistically significant with the significance level set to .05. This proved that frequency of participation has a significant influence on addiction to exercise. 2) The dispersion analysis between intensity of participation and addiction to exercise indicated that p-values of the three subfactors of addiction to exercise - emotional attachment (p=.893), withdrawal symptoms (p=.058), and desire to exercise (p=.652) - were statistically insignificant with the significance level set to .05. This proved that intensity of participation does not influence addiction to exercise. 3) The dispersion analysis between category of participation and addiction to exercise indicated that p-values of the three subfactors of addiction to exercise - emotional attachment (p=.002), withdrawal symptoms (p=.000), and desire to exercise (p=.002) - were statistically significant with the significance level set to .05.
