The following criteria adapted from the criteria to diagnose other forms of addiction were proposed by researchers Hausenblaus and Downs: tolerance (increasing the amount of exercise in order to feel the desired effect, be it a "buzz" or a sense of accomplishment); withdrawal (in the absence of exercise the person experiences negative effects such as anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and sleep problems); lack of control (unsuccessful attempts to reduce exercise level or cease exercising for a certain period of time); intention effects (unable to stick to one's intended routine as evidenced by exceeding the amount of time devoted to exercise or consistently going beyond the intended amount); time (a great deal of time is spent preparing for, engaging in, and recovering from exercise); reduction in other activities (as a direct result of exercise, social, occupational, and/or recreational activities occur less often or are stopped); and continuance (continuing to exercise despite knowing that this activity is creating or worsening physical, psychological, and/or interpersonal problems).
