Concerns about weight and body image are common among adolescents, as adolescence represents a time of intense rapid change. This cross-sectional study assessed the difference in perception by sex, status sports practice sample Italians aged 13-18 years. For this purpose, we considered 140 adolescents subdivided into two groups: group sports-playing teenagers practicing volleyball (39 males 26 females), not actively involved (24 51 females). Body mass index (BMI), variables, were examined. Due to COVID-19 limitations, height self-reported BMI was calculated (in kilograms) divided square meters). short version Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-14) Stunkard Silhouette Chart. Two-way ANCOVAs adjusted for age performed test differences between sexes groups. Adolescent players had lower incidence disorders. Weight significantly differed those who played did not, but there no significant sexes. On whole, showed higher results than non-sports females. The highest level dissatisfaction found non-sports-playing females, while lowest. present confirms positive link sport can be support lead adopt healthier more active lifestyle. Further research is needed validate our findings through longitudinal during entire period adolescence. In addition, it would interesting on larger sample, also taking account socio-demographic variables including athletes engaged different types sports.

Body image perception data expectations facilitators were collected individual face-to-face interviews; weight stature directly measured. Girls tended be sportier than boys (91.6% girls vs. 86.3% practiced sports), with an earlier start (5.48 ± 1.47 5.72 1.38 years) greater amount weekly (3.41 2.95 3.01 2.11 h/week).

Furthermore, role goals in sports adolescents’ size perception has not been studied. We examined factors associated with perception, associations between perception. Methods The cross-sectional study consisted 475 goal-oriented club participants 936 reference youths (aged 14–16 years). questionnaire included multiple choice items health behaviours, motives to exercise, multinomial logistic regression analysis was used investigate associations. Results Adolescents perceived their as about right more frequently than (68% vs 47%, p < 0.001 girls; 74% 61%, boys).

Methods A sample 264 community-dwelling adults was randomly assessed (42.6 [17.0] y old, 57.6% women). Sociodemographic (age, gender, socioeconomic status) (retrospectively) were by questionnaire. Sedentary measured accelerometer self-reported for domains identification. Poisson regression presented prevalence ratio (PR). separately included as covariates to identify their main analysis. Results 56.4% (n = 149). participants a higher proportion men (59.7% vs 20.0%), had lower age (36.8 [15.3] 50.8 [15.9]), smaller individuals low status (24.8% 43.5%) compared those without ESP. inversely associated older (PR 0.58, P < .001 middle aged; PR 0.34, participants), female gender 0.79, .001), 0.63, .036), TV watching 0.67, .011). driving 1.50, .028), office/paper work 1.63, .012), using cellphone 1.60, .009). confounding factor behavior, followed status.
