Background   The aim of the study was to evaluate differences in body image across different types of sports in highly trained female athletes.Methods   242 female individuals, aged 13–30 years (M = 20.0, SD = 4.5), representing aesthetic sports ( n  = 56) and nonaesthetic sports ( n  = 186), were recruited from different sports clubs in Poland. Body image, BMI, age, the level of competition attained, and the training background of participants were recorded.Results   One-way ANOVA showed differences in the body image of athletes engaged in different types of sport ( F (11,230) = 4.10,  p  < 0.001, and  η  2  = 0.16). The model predicting the body image of female athletes was significant ( F (5,236) = 10.40,  p  < 0.001); the adjusted  R  2  = 0.163. Type of sport explained 7.1% ( β  = –0.263,  p  < 0.001), age explained 4.5% ( β  = 0.341,  p  < 0.001), BMI explained 3.6% ( β  = –0.230,  p  < 0.001), and level of competition explained 0.9% ( β  = 0.153,  p  < 0.05) of variance in body image.Conclusions   The findings provide vital new knowledge which can be used by researchers and practitioners in designing educational programs on weight-related behaviors in female athletes. Such programs should be implemented especially in young female athletes participating in high-level sporting activities at an early stage.
