About this trial
This cross-sectional study will investigate how Egyptian adolescents aged 14-17 years perceive their bodies and how these perceptions are related to body functionality and physical activity. The study will examine different patterns of body image concerns, including high, moderate, and low concern, and explore whether these patterns are associated with how adolescents appreciate what their bodies can do and how physically active they are.
Participants will complete questionnaires assessing body shape concerns, body appreciation and functionality, and physical activity. The study aims to improve understanding of the relationship between body image, body functionality, and physical activity during adolescence and may provide useful information for healthcare professionals, particularly physical therapists, when developing strategies to promote physical activity and overall well-being among adolescents.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Body Functionality
Body functionality will be assessed using the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS), which measures the extent to which adolescents appreciate, respect, and value their bodies for what they can do rather than how they look. Body functionality scores will be examined across the different body image perception profiles.
Time frame
1 DaySecondary outcomes
1
Physical Activity Level
Physical activity will be assessed using the Global Adolescent and Child Physical Activity Questionnaire (GAC-PAQ), which measures physical activity across different areas of daily life, including school, chores, transportation, free time, and outdoor activities. Physical activity levels will be examined across the different body image perception profiles.

Body Image and Body Shape Concerns
Body image will be assessed using the Body Shape Questionnaire-34 (BSQ-34), a 34-item self-report questionnaire measuring concerns and dissatisfaction with body shape. Participants rate each item on a 6-point scale based on their experiences during the previous 4 weeks. Higher total scores indicate greater body shape concern and dissatisfaction. Body image scores will be used to identify different body image perception profiles among Egyptian adolescents.
