As a result of an error in the processing of this article during the publication process, it was necessary to re-publish this article with the following significant changes:

Title

The title of the initial version is Exercise addiction in amateur runners, it was changed to Exercise addiction in competitive amateur runners.

Abstract

It was completely modified in line with the new methodology applied, in addition to minor terminological changes (ex. “gender” by “sex”).

Introduction

Grammatical and translation modifications were made, some terms on the research question were adapted, some of the concepts included in this section was expanded and improved. and two paragraphs on previous empirical research on the research question were added.

Method

Participants

Further data (sociodemographic and athletic) on the sample analysed was provided.

Measures

Some variables were recategorized (three categories), in order to obtain study subgroups that are more similar in size. This meant that the data had to be reinterpreted, and Table 1was totally modified.

Table 1 Main characteristics of the sample (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation)
Table 2 Mean rank (Md) and Kruskal-Wallis’ H and significant levels of the main characteristics of the sample

Procedure

More details were given in order to allow for eventual replications of the study.

Statistical Analysis

New analysis was carried out considering all the recommendations made, modifying the calculation of cohen’s d and replacing the correlations by crosstab analysis.

The structure of the analyses were modified following a logic sequence.

Results

All the section was modified considering all the recommendations and rewriting the results section, changing all tables and creating a new one (Table 5).

Table 3 Effect Size (d de Cohen) to significance variables
Table 4 Crosstab analysis from combining usual distance and levels of addiction risk (chi squared, X2, and significance level)
Table 5 Crosstab analysis (%) combining usual running distance and levels of addiction risk (sociodemographic and performance variables)

Categorisation of addiction levels was performed using a quartile classification similar to the approach used by Ruiz-Juan and Zarauz (2012): minimum (≤4.37), low (4.37–4.99), high (5.00–5.62) and maximum (≥5.62) risk of addiction.

Discussion

All the section was modified considering all the recommendations and rewriting the discussion according to the new results.

A paragraph of limitations was included.

A paragraph of practical implication was included at the end of the paper.

Conclusions

The conclusions section was completely modified to reflect the new results.

Section updated by deleting unused references and adding new ones included in the document.
