This study focused on enhancing the muscles of 2460 American men between the ages of 18 and 31 years. Generally, thin girls 'ideal' emphasizes a thin body and a thin waist, but in boys and men, it is often said that "should have a wide shoulder width and large muscle". In this study, it was considered meaningless to ask questions similar to girls, so it was not a "diet" "fine" as seen in previous studies, but a question specific to men Was done.

As a result, it has been found that regardless of the subject's age, sexual orientation, weight, and education level, the relationship between depression of the musculoskeleton and depression is noticeable. In addition, people with obsession with muscle tended to take supplements and anabolic steroids with muscle strengthening tendencies four times higher, and also tended to take alcohol more on weekends.

"The impulse to such a ruggedness of the muscles is a sign that young people are unable to control their own lives, and they may be feeling control through training," Trine Tetlie Eik - Nes says. "To put it simply, boys are crazy about training for the same reasons that girls vomit."

Researchers point out that problems arise when regulars with ordinary occupations, educational backgrounds and families get idealized by the body of professional athletes like Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo .

Full-time training by athletes is like "work" and has the purpose of improving exercise performance. Meanwhile, training conducted at the gym is not related to athletic performance or physical function, much is done for "appearance". Such a purpose tends to become obsession, and in fact most of the subjects made remarks that "my muscles in my chest are not enough" and "I feel guilty if I neglect my training."

Because this situation of young men is hard to notice, researchers ask the boys' parents how to eat, how they exercise, so that mental health problems do not become serious Please take a closer look at what it is. " It is said that they always want to go to the gym every day, or always like something like chicken and broccoli, protein shake, supplement. "If their world is one training color, we should have time to talk about what we are training for," Eik-Nes said.
