Female athletes are at risk for eating disorders due to the experience and internalization of pressures regarding various aspects of their bodies, including weight and appearance. Evaluating programs that address psychosocial antecedents and may reduce female athletes' risk is critical. We examined Bodies in Motion, a program based on cognitive dissonance and mindful self-compassion principles that integrates components of social media. Female athletes across nine NCAA athletic departments were assigned to Bodies in Motion (n = 57) or a wait-list control group (n = 40). Athletic department personnel were trained in the standardized program. Data were collected at three time-points - baseline, post-program, and three to four months later. Using Holm's algorithm to control for multiple comparisons, repeated measures ANOVAs showed that, after program completion, Bodies in Motion athletes reported less thin-ideal internalization, as compared to the control athletes, over time. We also observed varying group trajectories in outcome responses upon visual inspection of profile plots. These findings serve as the basis for future research suggestions involving larger sample sizes and prolonged measurement of outcomes.
由于女性运动员经历并内化了与身体各方面相关的压力，包括体重和外貌，因此她们面临饮食失调的风险。评估针对心理社会前因并可能降低女性运动员风险的计划至关重要。我们研究了“运动中的身体”（Bodies in Motion），这是一个基于认知失调和正念自我同情原则的项目，整合了社交媒体的组成部分。九个 NCAA 运动部门的女性运动员被分配到“运动中的身体”（Bodies in Motion，n=57）或候补名单对照组（n=40）。运动部门人员接受了标准化计划的培训。数据在三个时间点收集 - 基线、项目后和三到四个月后。使用 Holm 的算法控制多重比较，重复测量方差分析表明，与对照组相比，在项目完成后，随着时间的推移，“运动中的身体”运动员报告的瘦理想内化程度较低。我们还通过观察轮廓图的直观观察，观察到结果反应的不同群体轨迹。这些发现为未来涉及更大样本量和更长期测量结果的研究建议提供了依据。
