| Regular excessive exercise (Reg. EE) | −.031 | .054 | .565 | −.030 | .078 | .699 | −.001 | .052 | −.101 to .105 |
| Any excessive exercise (Any EE) | −.061 | .045 | .168 | −.026 | .064 | .682 | −.035 | .046 | −.127 to .055 |
All coefficients are unstandardized and expressed in the metric of the outcome variable
CIs = bias-corrected bootstrapped confidence intervals based on 10000 bootstrap samples
