ABSTRACT
Abstract 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
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 "Internalização Geral" (F(1, 82)=13,41; p=0,02) e "Internalização Atlética" (F(1, 82)=9,83; p=0,04) entre atletas satisfeitas e insatisfeitas com o corpo. Os achados indicaram relação da subescala "Internalização Geral" (F(1, 82)=14,33; p=0,01) com os escores do BSQ, porém a magnitude da relação aumentou pouco quando se inseriu a "Internalização Atlética" (F(1, 82)=23,79; p=0,01). Concluiu-se que a internalização geral esteve mais relacionada à IC das atletas do que à internalização atlética.
