Resumo
Objective: This research sought to evaluate the correlation between dissatisfaction with body image and the level of physical activity in 52 students of both sexes of the third year of high school. Methods: Teenagers from 16 to 19 years old answered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - short version, and the Silhouettes Scale, created by Kakeshita (2008). Statistical analysis was performed through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 20. 0. To verify the normality of the data, we used the Komolgorov-Smirnov test and, for the correlations between the variables, the Pearson R test was performed. Other calculations such as the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-Square and Odds Ratio values were required. Results: It was verified that although 61.54% of the teenagers practice physical activities regularly, the great majority is not satisfied with their body image (80.77%). Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no significant correlation between dissatisfaction with the body image and the level of physical activity among the surveyed teenagers.
