Validation of the Spanish compulsive exercise test version in male university students: a confirmatory factor analysis and invariance study

Men are more vulnerable to engaging in pathological behaviors related to physical exercise. Compulsive Exercise Test (CET) is one of the most used measures of pathological exercise. However, there are some inconsistencies regarding their psychometric properties, especially in male samples. The aim w...
