Abstract
- Highlights: [•] This review compares body image among collegiate female athletes to non-athletes. [•] More versus less competitive athletes might be at greater risk for BIC. [•] Athletes in feminine sports report at least similar levels of BIC as non-athletes. [•] Athletes in endurance sports appear to have better body image than non-athletes. [•] Research among athletes on how BIC is related to sexual objectification is lacking. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
