Abstract

Research is yet to consider the potential for personal trainers (PTs) to influence their client's thoughts and feelings surrounding their body. This pre-registered study explored a model of positive body image in women personal training clients in the UK. Participants (n = 234, mean age = 51) completed an online questionnaire assessing body mass index (BMI), perceived body acceptance by their PT and various other measures related to body image. Perceived body acceptance by the PT was indirectly, positively associated with client body appreciation through greater internal body orientation and negatively associated with client BMI. Findings suggest PTs may be an important source of body acceptance for their clients. Education of PTs should be considered for promoting positive body image in women fitness industry consumers.

英国女性私人教练对身体的接受程度和客户对身体的欣赏程度：一项预先登记的研究。

有关私人教练（PT）影响客户对自己身体的想法和感受的潜力的研究尚待开展。这项预注册研究探讨了英国女性私人教练客户的积极身体形象模型。参与者（n = 234，平均年龄 = 51）填写了一份在线问卷，评估身体质量指数（BMI）、私人教练对身体的接受程度以及与身体形象相关的其他各种指标。治疗师对身体的认可度与客户对身体的欣赏间接正相关，因为治疗师对身体有更多的内部定位，而与客户的体重指数成负相关。研究结果表明，矫形师可能是客户身体接受度的重要来源。应考虑对健身教练进行教育，以促进女性健身消费者树立积极的身体形象。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
