Objective of research

Current research shows that some bodybuilders take part in extreme diet and exercise activities both before and after competitions that may be damaging to their physical and mental health. However, no researchers to date have looked at the prevalence of these activities among bodybuilders in Atlantic Canada, nor have they explored the whole spectrum of behaviours. Here, we will ask you about your exercise and diet activities, and about how you feel about the way you look and feel, in order to better understand bodybuilders here in Atlantic Canada, and to see if there are patterns of behaviours among bodybuilders that may be risky to long-term health.

This study is being conducted through the Department of Applied Human Nutrition at Mount Saint Vincent University and the School of Nutrition and Dietetics at Acadia University. You will be asked to complete an online questionnaire which will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and will not cost you anything.

Procedure

Screening

Through the pre-questionnaire screening you have just completed, we have determined that you are eligible to participate in this study. If you consent to participate in this study, you will be directed to complete an online questionnaire (it will take approximately 10-15 minutes). It is recommended that you complete this questionnaire on a computer (desktop or laptop) and not your cell phone. We advise that you complete the questionnaire in a private or secluded area so that your responses are not seen by others. You do not have to answer any questions you feel uncomfortable answering.

Confidentiality

Your confidentiality will be respected; your records will be kept on a secure server housed at Mount Saint Vincent University. We will not ask you any questions that could disclose your identity. You will complete the online questionnaire anonymously and none of the information you provide will be traceable to you. You will be assigned a unique study number as a subject in this study. Only this number will be used on any research-related information collected about you during the course of this study, so that your identity as a subject in this study will be kept confidential.

The results of the study may be presented at scientific meetings and published in a scientific journal. If you change your mind and decide to withdraw from the study, simply do not submit your questionnaire. Since this study is anonymous and your questionnaire will not be traceable to you, if you submit the questionnaire, we will not be able to remove the data from the study database. Any typed responses to open-ended questionnaires will be included in the data and subsequently analyzed.

Risks

There is a minor psychological risk to participating in this study due to the personal nature of the content of the questionnaire (e.g. we will ask you about personal eating and exercise habits). Remember, you don’t need to answer any questions you don’t feel comfortable answering, and you can withdraw from the study at any time by simply exiting out of your web browser and not submitting the online questionnaire.

You may want to reach out to speak with a professional if you feel upset during or after completing the questionnaire. Some resources you may be interested in could include: the National Eating Disorders Information Centre Helpline toll-free at 1-866-633-4220, or the Mental Health 24/7 Mobile Crisis Team at 1-888-429-8167.

Benefits

You will receive no direct benefits from participating in the study. However, we hope that the information learned from this study can be used in the future to benefit bodybuilding men in Atlantic Canada, and potentially across Canada.

As a thank you for participating, you will receive an Amazon.ca gift card code for $10. Please write this code down – it will only be displayed once.

Questions and further information

Participation is completely voluntary. Also, you have the option to stop participating, skip any step/question or withdraw from the study at any time before submitting the questionnaire without any penalty or concern.

If you have questions about how this study is being conducted and wish to speak with someone who is not directly involved in the study, you may contact the Chair of the University Research Ethics Board (UREB) c/o MSVU Research and International Office, at 457-6350 or via e-mail at research@msvu.ca

Participant Authorization

I have read the information in this consent form. I understand the nature of the study and I understand the potential risks. I understand that I have the right to withdraw from the study at any time without any problems. 

 

I freely agree to participate in this research study.

(Please only select ""Yes"" if you are sure you wish to continue.)

Exercise is the most important thing in my life.

Conflicts have arisen between me and my family and/or my partner about the amount of exercise I do.

I use exercise as a way of changing my mood (e.g. to get a buzz, to escape etc.)

If I have to miss an exercise session I feel moody and irritable.

If I cut down the amount of exercise I do, and then start again, I always end up exercising as often as I did before.
