  • Data from 203 weightlifters were analyzed, showing variations in muscle dysmorphia across BMI and age.
  • Using independent samples t-tests and ANOVA, the study examined demographic and training characteristic impacts.
  • Results imply that resistance exercise may foster healthier body images and lower dysmorphia symptoms in youth.
