Anecdotal testimony suggests the 'fit' female body ideal is 'healthier' than the thin ideal, because it simultaneously focuses on muscularity. However, statistical investigation into the outcomes associated with fit ideal internalisation is absent. Moderation analyses were used to investigate whether concurrent muscular internalisation mitigated the relationship between thin internalisation and; negative affect, body dissatisfaction, bulimic symptoms, and dieting. Further analyses were used to investigate whether concurrent thin internalisation amplified the relationship between muscular internalisation, compulsive exercise, and supplement use. No significant interaction was found on any of the outcome variables. Thus, the results suggest that incorporating muscularity into an ideal of thinness does not mitigate the detrimental eating and affective outcomes commonly associated with pursuing thinness. Equally, incorporating an ideal of thinness into one of muscularity does not appear to alter the detrimental behavioural outcomes commonly associated with pursuing muscularity. Such findings do not suggest fit internalisation is healthy for women.
传闻证据表明，“健康”的女性体型理想比瘦理想更健康，因为它同时注重肌肉发达。然而，关于符合理想体型的内化所带来的结果的统计调查尚不存在。使用调节分析来研究肌肉内化的同时是否减轻了瘦内化与；负面情绪、身体不满、暴食症状和节食之间的关系。进一步的分析用于研究同时瘦内化是否放大了肌肉内化、强迫性运动和补充剂使用之间的关系。在任何结果变量上都没有发现显著的相互作用。因此，结果表明，将肌肉发达纳入瘦的理想体型并不会减轻与追求瘦相关的常见不良饮食和情感结果。同样，将瘦的理想纳入肌肉发达的理想中似乎也不会改变与追求肌肉发达相关的常见不良行为结果。这些发现并不表明符合理想体型的内化对女性健康有益。
