About
The primary purpose of this study was to identify differences in traits associated with muscle dysmorphia between football (ATH, n=66), weight trainers for physique (WTP, n=115), competitive non-natural bodybuilding (NNBB, n=47), and competitive natural bodybuilding samples (NBB, n=65). All participants completed demographic questionnaires in addition to the Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory (Lantz et al., 2001). A one-way MANOVA revealed a significant main effect for group. Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference post hoc tests found that the NNBB group did not score significantly higher than the NBB group on any subscale except for the Pharmacology subscale. Both the NNBB and NBB groups scored significantly higher than the WTP group on the Dietary Behavior and Supplement Use subscales. The ATH group scored lowest on all subscales of the MDI except for Physique Protection where they scored highest. Findings are discussed in light of current research with future research expounded.
