Abstract Object: Females’ body anxiety is becoming more and more serious, and the levels of their body esteem gradually declines, which have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a quantitative analysis of physical exercise to improve females’ physical self-esteem. Methods: Randomized controlled trials about the effects of physical exercise on body esteem among females were searched by PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Scopus databases. The search period was from the creation of the database to July 1, 2024. The Stata 17.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: The results are shown that physical exercise have a significant overall effect on promoting females’ self-esteem (g = 0.35, P < 0.001), and physical exercise can effectively improve PC (g = 0.66, P < 0.01) and PS (g = 0.27, P < 0. 01) of females, but there is no statistically significant in females’ PSW (g = 0.32, P > 0.05), SC (g = 0.42, P > 0.05) and AB (g = -0.20, P > 0.05). Conclusions: Physical exercise can effectively improve body esteem of females, but it mainly affects the PC and PS in body esteem of females.
