Abstract

The relationship between older women's participation in an aerobic fitness program and body image was examined. Major results showed that aerobic fitness participants had a significantly higher positive body image than non-participants. Selected sociodemographic characteristics differentially influenced the body image of aerobic fitness participants. The practical implications of these results are discussed. Future research ideas on the topic are suggested.
