“…In both satisfied (BSQ <80) and dissatisfied groups (BSQ ≥ 80), the findings showed acceptable adherence rates. Moreover, the results indicated factorial loads above 0.3 for all items and confirmed that the factor structure of SATAQ-3 in female track and field athletes was identical to that found by Amaral et al 16 . Therefore, the factor structure of SATAQ-3 was as follows: "Overall Internalization" (items 4, 7, 8, 11, 15, 16 and 20), "Information" (items 1, 5, 17, 21, 25 and 29 ), "Pressure" (items 2, 10, 14, 18, 22 and 26), "Athletic Internalization" (Items 19, 23, 24 and 30) and "Reverse score questions" (items 3, 6, 9, 12 13, 27 and 28).…”

“…However, for the present investiga-tion, only "Overall Internalization" and "Athletic Internalization" subscales were used, totaling fourteen items. The SATAQ-3 version used in this study was translated and adapted for the young Brazilian population 15 , with content and construct validity and reproducibility and reliability attested to this population 16 . For this sample, internal consistency was calculated by Cronbach's alpha, with satisfactory values of 0.82 and 0.85 for "Overall Internalization" and "Athletic Internalization" subscales, respectively.…”

Little is known about the relationship between body image (BI) and sociocultural factors in athletes. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between BI and overall and athletic internalization in female track and field athletes in track events, with the participation of 83 young individuals aged 12-17 years. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was used to assess BI. The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 was used to evaluate overall and athletic internalization. Differences were observed in the scores of the "Overall Internalization" (F(1.82)=13.41; p=0.02) and "Athletic Internalization" (F(1.82)=9.83; p=0.04) subscales among athletes who were satisfied and those dissatisfied with their body. The findings indicated relationship between "Overall Internalization" (F(1.82)=23.79; p=0.01) subscale with BSQ scores, but the magnitude of the relationship increased little when the "Athletic Internalization" (F(1.82)=14.33; p=0.01) subscale was included. It was concluded that overall internalization was more related to BI of athletes than athletic internalization.Resumo -Pouco se sabe a respeito da relação entre fatores socioculturais e imagem corporal (IC) em atletas. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a relação da IC com a internalização geral e atlética em atletas do sexo feminino das provas de pista do atletismo. Participaram 83 jovens com idade entre 12 e 17 anos. Utilizou-se o Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) para avaliar a IC. A Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 foi utilizada para avaliar a internalização geral e atlética. Evidenciaram-se diferenças nos escores das subescalas "). Concluiu-se que a internalização geral esteve mais relacionada à IC das atletas do que à internalização atlética.

“…The SATAQ-3 has four factors: General internalization (e.g., "I would like my body to look like the people who are on TV"), Athletic internalization (e.g., "I compare my body to that of people who are athletic"), Pressure (e.g., "I've felt pressure from TV or magazines to look pretty") and Information (e.g., "TV programs are an important source of information about fashion and being attractive"). The version validated for use with young Brazilian men was used, which has been shown to have appropriate psychometric qualities (Amaral, Ribeiro, Conti, Ferreira, & Ferreira, 2013). Only two factors were used: General internalization and Athletic internalization.…”

This study compared muscle dysmorphia symptoms, body image disturbances (body dissatisfaction, drive for muscularity and body-ideal internalization) and commitment to exercise between sedentary and physical active subjects. For this, we evaluated 265 undergraduate men (22.4±3.7 yrs.). The following measures were applied: sociodemographic data, Muscle Dysmorphia Disorder Inventory (muscle dysmorphia), Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale (body dissatisfaction), Drive for Muscularity Scale (drive for muscularity), Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (body-ideal internalization) and Commitment to Exercise Scale (commitment to exercise). Participants were classified as sedentary, physically active (frequency ranging between one to four times a week) and very active (frequency five times a week or more). Analysis of variance (ANOVA one-way), followed by Tukey post hoc showed significant differences between sedentary and physically very active groups on body dissatisfaction (5.7±1.1 and 5.2±1.0 a.u.; p = .042), drive for muscularity (27.3±10.0 and 33.5±12.1 a.u.; p = .001) and commitment to exercise (259.9±199.6 and 536.3±216.6 a.u.; p = .001). Difference was also observed between active and very active groups, but only to commitment to exercise (440.9±214.2 and 536.3±216.6 a.u.; p = .001). Our results showed that drive for muscularity and commitment to exercise is higher in very active when compared to sedentary subjects. However, sedentary group manifested higher body dissatisfaction than very active. Very active undergraduate men showed higher commitment to exercise than active and sedentary did. Finally, no differences were observed between groups for muscle dysmorphia symptoms and body-ideal internalization. In conclusion, our data add information to the scientific debate demonstrating that there are differences between physically active and sedentary subjects regarding body image disturbances and commitment to exercise. Body dissatisfaction, drive for muscularity and commitment to exercise vary between sedentary and active subjects, and appears to be dose dependent.

“…Since it is a sport in which body is in focus, aesthetic standards of thinness and low body fat are required from athletes -as the standard propagated by the media [4][5][6] , which can affect the body image of these athletes 3 . This construct is defined as the mental representation of the own body and is related to social, emotional, physiological factors and also to the environment in which the individual is inserted 7 .…”

-The evaluation of psychological factors can help preventing eating disorders in athletes. This study aimed to verify possible links between body dissatisfaction and media influence, perfectionism, mood and risk behavior for eating disorders and to compare the study variables among artistic gymnastics elite and non-elite athletes and non-athletes. Participants were 413 adolescents of both sexes (elite and non-elite athletes and non-athletes), aged 10-18 years (mean age 12.86 ± 1.80). BSQ, EAT-26, SATAQ-3, MPS and BRUMS were applied to evaluate body dissatisfaction, risk behavior for eating disorders, media influence, perfectionism and mood, respectively. Anthropometric data were collected to estimate body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%BF). Descriptive statistical, comparative and correlational analyses were held. Only EAT-26 influenced BSQ in the three groups. In non-athletes, BMI, BRUMS and SATAQ-3 added explanation to the model. For non-elite athletes, %BF, media influence and mood were also predictors of body dissatisfaction. Elite athletes had lower BMI and %BF than the others. Non-athletes had lower perfectionism scores while non-elite athletes athletes had lower mood scores. It could be concluded that the risk behavior for eating disorders is the factor most strongly related to body dissatisfaction among elite and non-elite athletes and non-athletes.
