Abstract:

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction and to verify the association between dissatisfaction with thinness or with overweight and health-related physical fitness componentes in adolescents. Participants were 1058 adolescents (570 girls and 488 boys), with mean age of 16.3(1.0) years. The investigated variables were body image dissatisfaction (Figure Rating Scale), and health-related physical fitness: body fat (skinfold thickness), muscle strength (handgrip strength) and cardiorespiratory fitness (mCAFT test). The association of body image and the health-related physical fitness variables was tested by Multinomial Regression analysis. The prevalence of body dissatisfaction was 75.2% (girls= 79.5%; boys= 70.3%). Girls and boys with high body fat were less likely to dissatisfaction with thinness and more likely to dissatisfaction with overweight. Those who needed to improve muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness were more likely to dissatisfaction with thinness and dissatisfaction with overweight, respectively. In conclusion, physical fitness was associated to body image, with the adolescents in less healthy conditions of the components being more dissatisfied.
