目的比较54名4~8岁女孩(4~8岁)和54名年龄匹配(±1岁)、体脂匹配(±3%)未参加体操的女孩的体像。结果初学体操的女生在实际得分(2.2±1.4比2.1±1.4)、理想得分(1.8±1.3比1.8±1.5)和身体不满意得分(0.39±1.8比0.26±1.4)上与对照组比较差异均无统计学意义。这一观察结果令人怀疑这样一种观点，即对自己的身体不满意并希望变得更苗条的年轻女孩比没有这种身体不满的女孩更有可能报名参加体操课程。《国际饮食失调》杂志34：244-250,2003。
ObjectiveThe primary objective of this investigation was to compare body images of 54 girls (4–8 years old) who were beginning their first gymnastics class to 54 age‐matched (±1 year) and % body fat‐matched (±3%) girls not participating in gymnastics.MethodRatings of actual and ideal body size and a computed measure of body dissatisfaction (actual minus ideal) were obtained. Body composition was measured with dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry.ResultsGirls beginning gymnastics did not differ significantly from controls on (mean ± SD) actual (2.2 ± 1.4 vs. 2.1 ± 1.4), ideal (1.8 ± 1.3 vs. 1.8 ± 1.5), or body dissatisfaction (0.39 ± 1.8 vs. 0.26 ± 1.4) scores.DiscussionBody images of 4–8‐year‐old girls beginning their first artistic gymnastics class do not differ from non‐gymnast controls matched on age and % body fat. This observation casts doubt on the idea that young girls who are dissatisfied with their body and want to be smaller are more likely to enroll in gymnastics classes than girls without this type of body dissatisfaction. © 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
