No statistically significant differences between athletes and non-athletes were discovered for self-perception of body image, body satisfaction, self-perception of body image using a body image scale and 3D body scan, apparel fit satisfaction, frequency of apparel alterations and difficulty purchasing apparel. Overall, the sample reported scores indicating important self-ideal congruities across all physical attributes as well as satisfaction with their bodies. Additionally, both athletes and non-athletes indicated overall dissatisfaction with the fit of their apparel. Neither athletes nor non-athletes reported a high frequency of apparel alterations or difficulty purchasing clothing in retail stores.

Download or read book Female Adolescent Athletes written by Sarah A. Dittberner and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of the media on young females is a consistent problem: drive for thinness, unrealistic body expectations, and pressure to become something unattainable. Athletic involvement can produce overwhelmingly positive outcomes, countering negative influential media messages. This research was conducted to expand upon the importance of sport participation using a survey. Twenty-six female student athletes from Minnesota participated, all 13-17 years old. Results revealed that athletes did not feel pressured by the media to change their bodies. Athletes are able to challenge the negative impacts of the media and, instead, are discovering what their bodies are capable of doing. Conversely, they generally rated themselves as overweight on a Likert scale, despite the majority of participants (68%) being classified as normal or underweight according to their body mass index. Although sport participation poses numerous benefits (fewer mental health problems, strong academic achievement, and increased chances of staying active in adulthood), the underlying concern of the media's voice on body image still exists. Fortunately, females are becoming more involved in athletics: 69% of participants were involved in more than one sport and 61% were involved in sports 10-12 months of the year. Overall, sports provide valuable, healthy, and long-term opportunities for athletes.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Negative body image puts athletes at a higher susceptibility for eating disorder development than nonathletes (NEDA, 2018). Many factors influence how athletes perceive their body, such as family, peers, coaches, and the media. The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the body image of female Division III collegiate athletes, an understudied population, 2) explore four sociocultural variables that may influence the body image satisfaction of these athletes: Family, peers, the media, and coaches, and 3) summarize and analyze the existing literature on the neurobiology of body image as it relates to eating disorders among athletes, including comorbid mental health diagnoses, dysregulation of appetite reward patterns and behaviors, and the Female Athlete Triad. Participants were 115 female student-athletes at North Central College who completed measures related to body image, sociocultural pressures, and the coach-athlete relationship. Overall, participants felt larger than their ideal figure, indicative of body imaged is satisfaction. Regression analyses found that family and media predicted body image satisfaction across daily life and sport domains for athletes. The coach-athlete relationship did not predict body image satisfaction in this population."--Abstract
