The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship
between body image perception and eating patterns in athletes and non
athletes. The study also aimed to explore the gender difference of
eating patterns and body image perception in athletes and non-athletes.
The cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling technique
were used in this research. The sample size of the study was 160 (80
athletes and 80 non-athletes) students. Data were gathered from
different institutes of Lahore that included University of the Punjab,
Govt. College University, and University of the Lahore. Exclusion and
inclusion criteria were selected. Research measures were used to
assess the study variables i.e. eating patterns were measured by Dutch
Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ; Strien, 2002) and body image
perception was assessed by Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-16;
Evans, 1993). Independent sample t-test and Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data. The findings of
the study revealed that non-athletes students have more disordered
eating patterns than athletes. On the other hand, no difference was
observed in the body image perception in athletes and non-athletes.
Results showed positive correlation between disordered eating patterns
and body image perception in athletes and non- athletes students. No
gender differences were found between the disordered eating patterns
and body image perception in athletes and non- athletes. The findings
of the study have important implications for athlete and non-athlete
adults and highlight the importance of counseling for students which in
turn may help improve their eating patterns and perception regarding
their body.
