Abstract

The ideal physique is something that is coveted, especially among adolescents. Often, they do not realize that lifestyle and sedentary behavior can affect physical appearance. The present study was to examine the differences in social physique anxiety (SPA) among male and female adolescents. To uncover this problem, comparative study methods were used. The subjects of this study were 263 students (130 males, 133 females) aged between 17–18 years who involved in sport extracurricular. SPAS was used to measure social physique anxiety. The results showed that there were differences between male and female adolescents in social physique anxiety (p < 0,05). It indicates that male adolescents have a high social physical anxiety and need more attention.
