More Than Body Appearance (MBA) Intervention

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The link between sport, physical exercise, and body image depends on the reasons underlying an individual's desire to engage in sport and physical exercise. Individuals characterized by reasons for exercise related to physical appearance are likely to focus on factors such as the number of calories burned, reductions in body weight, or visible changes in physical appearance during the practice; in accordance, appearance-related reasons for exercise are associated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. In contrast, reasons to exercise unrelated to physical appearance (such as health and enjoyment) are associated with body satisfaction. Thus, only certain reasons for exercise are associated with positive body image outcomes. Recently, literature studies affirmed that experimental designs could manipulate the emphasis placed on function (as opposed to physical appearance) during sport practice and physical exercise to promote positive body image. Based on this evidence, the first objective of the study will be testing the effectiveness of a psychological online intervention (More than Body Appearance [MBA] intervention) targeting body image in improving body image in individuals practicing physical activity.
