The goal of this research was to compare the body image of athletes and nonathletes. Two independent samples (varsity athletes/nonathletes) of a University population were asked to complete a 20 minute questionnaire package, including two silhouette scales (Figure Rating Scale (FRS)/Athletic Image Scale (AIS), a demographic questionnaire, the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Mental Health Inventory-18 (MHI-18), the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3), the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), and an investigator developed magazine consumption questionnaire. Results indicated significant differences between athletes and nonathletes for mean current and ideal figure choices on the AIS, body image discrepancy on the FRS, BMI, three of the four EDI-3 subscale scores, three of the four SATAQ-3 scores, and fitness magazine consumption. Athletes chose more athletic current and ideal figures on the AIS, were closer to their ideal body size (less discrepant) on the FRS, and reported a higher body mass index than nonathletes. The latter group reported higher levels of eating disorder behaviours (Body Dissatisfaction & Bulimia), lower self-esteem, and were more likely to feel pressure from media sources, and to view the media as an important source of information. Athletes spent more time reading fitness magazines and internalized athletic messages to a greater degree than did nonathletes. In general, although both athletes and nonathletes share similar body shape ideals, the former participants were more satisfied with their bodies and more closely approximated their ideal body size. These findings offer support for the contention that athletic involvement has a positive effect on the body image of college aged females.
