Official Title: Analysis of the Capacity to Regulate Physical Efforts and to Estimate Its Intensity as an Endophenotype of Anorexia Nervosa, Because of a Specific Impact of the Physical E
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to check if patients, but also relatives (as they share familial and genetic risk factors), are having more difficulties in regulating a spontaneous, pleasant physical effort (doing "too much") compared to healthy controls, and if physical efforts are participating to core symptoms of anorexia nervosa, such as more appetite (instead of less), less pain, more abnormal body image, and less cognitive flexibility.
Such a result could help to further understand the role of difficulties with physical exercise as part of the phenotype of anorexia nervosa.
