In the present study, the authors examined 53 female athletes drawn from 4 different sports and 55 female nonathletes. The athletes were divided into 2 groups: speed focused and technique focused. The nonathlete control group consisted of college women who had not participated in any varsity sports at the university level. Participants were measured on scales of body dissatisfaction, preoccupation with weight, and self-perceptions of body type and weight. Analyses revealed that (a) speed-focused athletes and technique-focused athletes did not differ significantly in their concerns about weight and body image, and (b) nonathletes expressed more dissatisfaction with their bodies than both of the athlete groups. Results are discussed with regard to associations between female sports participation and body image.
在本研究中，作者对来自4项不同运动项目的53名女运动员和55名女性非运动员进行了调查。运动员被分为两组：注重速度组和注重技术组。非运动员对照组由未参加过大学一级任何校际运动的大学女生组成。对参与者进行了身体不满、对体重的过度关注以及身体类型和体重自我认知方面的量表测量。分析结果显示：（a）注重速度的运动员和注重技术的运动员在对体重和身体形象的关注方面没有显著差异；（b）非运动员比两组运动员都表达了更多对自己身体的不满。针对女性体育参与和身体形象之间的关联对结果进行了讨论。
