Gambling Disorder (GD) is defined as the recurrent and persistent act of betting which leads to clinical impairments,. The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) conceptualizes GD as a behavioral addiction due to the similarities between GD and substance addictions in clinical presentation, association with personality factors, genetic transmission and treatment options. Previous studies found potential benefits of physical activity in treatment of addictions in general and GD in particular, such as reducing desire to play, betting and depressive and anxious symptoms.

Primary | Gambling Follow-up scale (GFS) | This questionnaire is meant to assess gambling severity and it investigates financial issues, family relationships, emotional distress, and satisfaction with leisure, in addition to gambling behavior. | Eight weeks | |
Primary | International Neuropsychiatric Interview | The MINI is a brief psychiatric interview that has strong psychometric properties including reliable diagnoses as compared to the Composite International Diagnostic Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSMpsychiatric disorder in axis I of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) of American Psychiatric Association in 1994. International Neuropsychiatric Interview takes approximately 15 minutes. | Eight weeks | |
Secondary | Gambling Symptom Assessment Scale (GSA-S). | The G-SAS is a 12-item instrument which was designed to evaluate gambling symptoms. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 'none' or 'complete' to 4 'extreme' or 'no control'. Scores range from 0 to 48 with four severity categories: mild (8-20), moderate (21-30), severe (31-40), and extreme (41-48). | Eight weeks | |
Secondary | Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) | It is a self-report scale consisting of 30 questions that provides a total score (minimum of 30 and maximum of 120) resulting from the sum of three sub-factors, namely: lack of attention, that is, cognitive impulsivity (i.e., decisions made in haste), motor impulsivity (i.e., acts without thinking) and non-planning (i.e., behaviors performed without future perspective). | Eight weeks | |
Secondary | GoStop Impulsivity Paradigm. | GoStop Impulsivity Paradigm evaluates the capacity of inhibitory control. GoStop Impulsivity Paradigm is a "stop task" designed to measure response inhibition. The primary response of interest here is the failure to inhibit responding when a "go" cue is unexpectedly accompanied by a "stop" cue. | Eight weeks | |
Secondary | Delay DiscountingTask (DDT). | In the Delay Discount Test (DDT) the subject is faced with a hypothetical choice, for example receiving US$ 1,000.00 in 6 hours, or US$ 999.00 now. The value of the present reward is presented in descending order until the subject chooses to wait for the delayed reward. The value immediately prior to this change is called the point of indifference. | Eight weeks | |
Secondary | The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test | The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test assesses visuospatial organization and planning abilities. The subject has to copy a complex geometric figure. A score is calculated for the drawing taking into account number of details, reproduction strategy, and drawing organization. | Eight weeks |
