The Impact of Aerobics on Body Image Perception of College Students

This study examines the correlation between individuals' judgments of their body image and their evaluation of the advantages of aerobic exercise. A descriptive comparative- correlational approach was employed to gather data from a heterogeneous sample of participants, encompassing their demographic characteristics, evaluation of the advantages of aerobics, and judgments of body image across many dimensions. The results indicate notable disparities in the evaluation of aerobics advantages according to age and gender, as older persons and males exhibit higher ratings across several areas. Furthermore, there is a notable association between participants' evaluation of the advantages of aerobics and their opinions of their body image, emphasizing the significance of overall well-being rather than physical attractiveness. The findings of this study highlight the need to implement customized treatments and inclusive initiatives aimed at fostering a positive body image and promoting engagement in physical exercise to enhance overall health and well-being.
