现有的研究表明，健美运动员是一个具有性别，权力，控制和授权的同质群体，以及个人不足等痛苦，主导了有关其身份的学术思考。外部批评经常描绘健美运动员在一个负面的光，而现象学的帐户强调参与者的积极经验.这项研究集中在新西兰的健美运动员身份。作为一个为期三年的项目的一部分，大约382名竞技健美运动员完成了一份问卷。因子分析产生了以下主题：自我生活增强;健美运动员的生活方式;身体操纵;身体吸引力工具;健康平衡的自我形象;健美的价格和极端竞争力的美学追求。研究结果表明，健美运动员身份存在异质性，虽然健美运动可以积极加强身份建设，但也可能导致身份冲突，负面体验和自我风险。
Existing research implies bodybuilders are a homogenous group with gender, power, control and empowerment, as well as afflictions such as personal inadequacies, dominating scholarly thinking concerning their identity. External critiques have frequently portrayed bodybuilders in a negative light, whilst phenomenological accounts have emphasized participant's positive experiences. This research has focused on bodybuilder identity in New Zealand. Some 382 competitive bodybuilders completed a questionnaire as part of a three-year project. Factor analysis generated the following themes: Self-Life Enhancement; Bodybuilder Lifestyle; Body Manipulation; Physical Attractiveness Tool; Healthy-Balanced Self-Image; The Price of Bodybuilding and An Extreme Competitive Aesthetic Pursuit. The findings suggest that there is heterogeneity in bodybuilder identities and whilst bodybuilding may positively reinforce identity construction, it may also lead to identity conflicts, negative experiences and self-risk.
