Author of the paper studied the influence of aerobic exercise on the body esteem of college students with abnormal BMI by questionnaire and experimental research. Results indicate that aerobic exercise can significantly improve the body esteem of overweight and fat college students, but the influence on low-weight students is not obvious; 15 weeks’ aerobic exercise doesn’t have significant improvement to the “body attraction” dimensionality of fat students.

The purpose of this research was to explore the effectiveness of exercise in reducing body image concerns of female college students. Women enrolled in an aerobic exercise course or in a social psychology course at a medium sized university reported their social physique anxiety and body esteem at the beginning and end of the semester. For women in the aerobic exercise classes, social physique anxiety decreased and body esteem increased over the course of the semester. Social physique anxiety and body esteem did not change significantly for those in the (nonexercising) social psychology classes. The researchers concluded that participation in aerobic exercise programs may help to improve the body image of female college students. Based upon these results further investigation of the mechanisms by which exercise influences body image is warranted.
