Book Effects of a Physical Activity and Nutrition Intervention on Body Image in Pre adolescents

Download or read book Effects of a Physical Activity and Nutrition Intervention on Body Image in Pre adolescents written by Christine Amerika Gehrman and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image is among many psychological variables that are related to physical activity and dietary practices. Body image begins to develop in childhood and takes on increased importance during adolescence. Interventions aimed to improve physical activity and nutrition in pre-adolescents may have effects upon body image during this key developmental period. The purpose of the current study was to examine the secondary effects of a larger trial of physical activity and nutrition on body image in pre-adolescents. Based on Social Cognitive Theory, several personal, behavioral, and environmental factors are hypothesized to affect body image and were examined in this study. It was hypothesized that the intervention would have a significant positive impact on body image. Eighty-four 10-12 year olds (52 females, 32 males) of diverse ethnic backgrounds were recruited for study as part of the Healthy Youth and Parent Program, an on-going trial for physical activity and nutrition. A two-group (intervention and control) pre-post design was used. The intervention consisted of 8 weekly 2-hour sessions during which children participated in fitness activities. Body image was measured by the Eating Disorders Inventory-2, a well-validated measure. Analysis of co-variance revealed no significant direct effect of the intervention on body image, although participants in both conditions showed non-significant improvements in body image from baseline to post-test. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine theoretically hypothesized mediators of body image change, including level of physical activity and fitness, body mass index, and mood. Puberty status, negative self-esteem, and perceived barriers to physical activity were significantly related to body image concerns. The lack of a significant intervention effect on hypothesized mediators precluded the possibility of determining whether changes in these mediators would have affected change in body image. Future studies will need to test the role of hypothesized mediators if a comprehensive theoretical model of body image is to be developed.

Download or read book Schooled on Fat written by Nicole Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Reader Views Literary Award, Societal Issues and the Reviewers Choice Best Non-fiction Book of the Year, Specialty Awards, Schooled on Fat explores how body image, social status, fat stigma and teasing, food consumption behaviors, and exercise practices intersect in the daily lives of adolescent girls and boys. Based on nine months of fieldwork at a high school located near Tucson, Arizona, the book draws on social, linguistic, and theoretical contexts to illustrate how teens navigate the fraught realities of body image within a high school culture that reinforced widespread beliefs about body size as a matter of personal responsibility while offering limited opportunity to exercise and an abundance of fattening junk foods. Taylor also traces policy efforts to illustrate where we are as a nation in addressing childhood obesity and offers practical strategies schools and parents can use to promote teen wellness. This book is ideal for courses on the body, fat studies, gender studies, language and culture, school culture and policy, public ethnography, deviance, and youth culture.
