“…Finally, this study did not consider possible differences in body image perception among students engaged in different sports. However, individual or team sports do not significantly affect the perception of body image according to the literature [ 68 , 71 ]. Future research should also consider the competitive level of the athletes, as elite athletes appear to be more prone to eating disorders and body image dissatisfaction [ 72 ], although findings are still mixed in the literature and may depend on the type of sport practiced [ 73 ].…”

The study analyzed the differences between sexes in body image perception and body ideals to assess possible dissatisfaction and misinterpretation in the body image considered attractive for the other sex. Moreover, the influence of anthropometric traits and sports practice on body dissatisfaction and misjudgment was evaluated. Using a cross-sectional design, 960 Italian university students were investigated. Anthropometric characteristics were measured directly. Assessment of body image perception was performed using Thompson and Gray’s silhouettes. We developed two new indexes to assess the possible discrepancy between (1) the perceived silhouette of one’s body and that of the same sex deemed attractive to the other sex (FAD); (2) the silhouette is deemed attractive to the opposite sex and the average attractive silhouette selected by the opposite sex (AMOAD). As expected, females showed greater dissatisfaction with their bodies than males concerning both their own ideal and the silhouette they considered attractive to the opposite sex. Although both sexes misjudged the attractive silhouette for the opposite sex, women were found to be more wrong. According to the outcomes of multivariate regression models, stature, body composition parameters, amount of sport, sex, and FAD were significant predictors of dissatisfaction and misjudgment. In addition to action aimed at correcting misperceptions, the study revealed the importance of sports participation in improving the perception and acceptance of one’s body image.

This paper explores the association between creativity and health. We examined the literature to investigate if participating in creative arts such as dance and movement, music, visual art therapy, and creative writing has a beneficial effect on health and well-being. Recently, there has been an increased interest in studying how participatory and receptive arts can enhance wellness. Increasingly new research shows a correlation between creativity, improved feelings of well-being, and other positive health outcomes. Studies in this area indicate that engaging in creative arts brings about psychosocial, physiological, and behavioural responses that may help to decrease loneliness, depression, pain, and many other health-related issues. We reviewed and analyzed how creative arts can create channels for expressing emotions and improve physical, mental, and spiritual health. In this review, we define and discuss: 1) Creative Art Activities and Health; 2) Receptive and Participatory Engagement: Well-Being and Social Connectedness; 3) Health and Well-being in Later Stages of Life; 4) Art therapy and Children; 5) Creativity and Well-Being during COVID-19; 6) Specific Art Therapies and Their Beneficial Effects. We anticipate this review could underpin further research in health promotion. We also aim to encourage partnerships between the fields of health and creative arts to develop strategies to further their collaboration.

“…A dancer's BI may not only concern the maintenance of a certain weight but also the possession of a body with a very specific appearance (Radell, 2012;Pickard, 2013). In a study that aimed to understand how practitioners of different modalities perceived their body image, it was found that satiation with the image was higher in dance practitioners when compared to other types of practices (individual and collective sports) (Marschin & Herbert, 2021).…”

“…However, studies on the relationship between body image and the practice of modalities such as dance are still rare (Marschin & Herbert, 2021). Thus, considering the importance of understanding how dancers perceive their body image, but especially how it relates to their subjective well-being, this study aimed to characterize the perception of dance practitioners on BI and subjective well-being (positive and negative affect and satisfaction with life), including a comparison between teenagers and adults, In addition, the relationships between these variables and the practice of the dance (years of practice and hours of weekly practice) were analyzed.…”

La literatura se ha preocupado por el efecto de la práctica de la danza en variables como el bienestar y la imagen corporal (IC). El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la percepción de la IC y el bienestar subjetivo, comparando adolescentes y adultos. Se utilizó una muestra de 91 bailarines (18,08±5,12 años), divididos en dos grupos (adolescentes de 11 a 17 años; adultos de 18 a 34 años). Los resultados indican que el grupo de adolescentes tiene una mayor percepción de la satisfacción de la vida (p-0,041; d-0,44). En el grupo de adolescentes, el afecto positivo está relacionado con la satisfacción con la vida (r-0,64; p≤0,001) y el afecto negativo (r-0,32; p-0,026), mientras que el afecto negativo está relacionado con las horas de práctica semanales (r-0,46; p-0,001). En los adultos, el afecto positivo está relacionado con la satisfacción de la vida (r-0,36; p-0,017) y las horas de práctica semanales (r-0,39; p-0,010), mientras que el afecto negativo está relacionado con la satisfacción de la vida (r-0,45; p-0,003). En cuanto a la (in)satisfacción con la IC, en el grupo de adolescentes esto está relacionado con los años de práctica (r-0,33; p-0,023) y las horas de práctica semanal (r-0,32; p-0,023). En el grupo de adultos, la satisfacción de la vida (r-0,42; p-0,05) y el afecto negativo (r-0,59; p≤0,001) están relacionados. Nuestros datos parecen dejar indicadores para explorar en el futuro, buscando una comprensión de los factores que pueden estar mediando la relación entre la IC y el bienestar, así como el afecto de la edad en esta relación. Literature has been concerned with the effect of dance practice on several variables, namely well-being and body image (BI). This study aimed to analyse the perception of dance practitioners on BI and subjective well-being (positive and negative affect and satisfaction with life), comparing adolescents and adults. A sample of 91 dancers (18.08±5.12 years) was recruited and divided into two groups (adolescents 11-17 years; adults 18-34 years). The group of adolescents presented a higher perception of satisfaction with life compared to adults (p=0.041; d=-0.44). Regarding the relationships between variables, when analysing separately each group, in the group of adolescents the positive affect is related to satisfaction with life (r=0.639; p≤0.001) and negative affect (r=-0.322; p=0.026), while the negative affect is related to the hours of weekly practice (r=0.461; p=0.001). In the group of adults, positive affect is related to satisfaction with life (r=0.362; p=0.017) and weekly hours of practice (r=0.390; p=0.010), while negative affect is related satisfaction with life (r=-0.447; p=0.003). With regard to (dis)satisfaction with BI, we found that, in the group of adolescents, it is related to the years of practice (r=0.327; p=0.023) and the weekly hours of practice (r=0.321; p=0.023), while in the adults' group, satisfaction with life (r=-0.423; p=0.005) and negative affect (r=0.591; p≤0.001) are related. Our results leave some indicators that should be explored in future studies, namely seeking to understand the factors that may be mediating the relationship between BI and well-being, as well as the effect of age on this relationship. A literatura tem-se preocupado com o efeito da prática de dança em variáveis como o bem-estar e a imagem corporal (IC). O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a perceção de IC e de bem-estar subjetivo, comparando adolescentes e adultos. Recorreu-se a uma amostra de 91 dançarinos (18.08±5.12 anos), divididos em dois grupos (adolescentes 11-17 anos; adultos 18-34 anos). Os resultados indicam-nos que o grupo dos adolescentes apresenta uma perceção superior de satisfação com a vida comparativamente com os adultos (p=0.041; d=-0.44). Verificamos que no grupo dos adolescentes, o afeto positivo se relaciona com a satisfação com a vida (r=0.64; p≤0.001) e com o afeto negativo (r=-0.32; p=0.026), enquanto o afeto negativo se relaciona com as horas de prática semanal (r=0.46; p=0.001). Já nos adultos, o afeto positivo relaciona-se com a satisfação com a vida (r=0.36; p=0.017) e com as horas de prática semanal (r=0.39; p=0.010), enquanto o afeto negativo se relaciona com a satisfação com a vida (r=-0.45; p=0.003). No que se refere à (in)satisfação com a IC, no grupo dos adolescentes esta relaciona-se com os anos de prática (r=0.33; p=0.023) e as horas de prática semanal (r=0.32; p=0.023). No grupo dos adultos relaciona-se a satisfação com a vida (r=-0.42; p=0.005) e com o afeto negativo (r=0.59; p≤0.001). Os nossos dados parecem deixar indicadores a explorar no futuro, procurando a compreensão dos fatores que podem estar a mediar a relação entre a IC e o bem-estar, bem como, o efeito da idade nesta relação.
