Esta investigación tiene por objetivo estudiar la incidencia de la imagen corporal en la participación en clases de Educación Física de 45 damas y varones de entre 13 y 17 años de establecimientos educacionales de Temuco, Chile. Se consideró aquellos alumnos que, sin tener impedimento de salud, no participaban regularmente de la clase de Educación Física. La metodología contempló un enfoque mixto, con un diseño no experimental del tipo descriptivo transeccional. Se hizo una recolección sistemática de antecedentes cualitativos a través de grupos focales y se consideró el Body Shape Questionnaire, para estudiar la opinión de los estudiantes respecto de su imagen corporal. Los resultados muestran que un 10% de los varones manifiestan preocupación leve respecto de su imagen corporal y que un 24% de las damas manifiestan una preocupación moderada respecto de su figura. Estos datos se corresponden con las opiniones manifestadas en los grupos focales, donde se pudo apreciar que los estudiantes sienten incomodidad e insatisfacción corporal en relación con su cuerpo, especialmente el género femenino. Sin embargo, esto no se constituye como la razón principal para no participar de las clases de Educación Física, siendo aspectos metodológicos los que son mencionados como de mayor importancia. Abstract. The aim of this research is to study the incidence of body image in the participation in Physical Education classes of 45 girls and boys between 13 and 17 years old from educational establishments in Temuco, Chile. We considered those students who, without having a health impediment, did not participate regularly in Physical Education classes. The methodology contemplated a mixed approach, with a non-experimental design of the transectional descriptive type. A systematic collection of qualitative data was made through focus groups and the Body Shape Questionnaire was used to study the students' opinion of their body image. The results show that 10% of the males expressed mild concern about their body image and 24% of the females expressed moderate concern about their body shape. These data correspond to the opinions expressed in the focus groups, where it could be seen that students feel discomfort and body dissatisfaction in relation to their body, especially the female gender. However, this does not constitute as the main reason for not participating in Physical Education classes, being methodological aspects those that are mentioned as of greater importance.
