Abstract

Objective: This study compared the perception of undergraduate students of the bachelor course in Physical Education at Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP) on body image (BI), body mass (BM) and body fat percentage (BF%) through photographs of adult men. Material and Methods:This study included thirty-one students of both sexes (22.7 ± 2.9 years old), freshmen (G-AV1) and seniors(G-AV2) in Physical Education at Federal University of Ouro Preto, and 10 volunteers (G-MOD, 22.7 ± 3.2 years old), non-students of Physical Education, non-practitioners of regular physical exercise, who acted as models for obtaining full-body photographs. Results: The results showed no difference (p> 0.05) between the assessmentof BI made by G-AV1 and G-AV2 participants through G-MOD photographs. No differences (p> 0.05) were found between the subjective evaluation of BM made by G-AV1, G-AV2 and the measured BM of G-MOD. Evaluation of BF% in G-MOD made by G-AV1 and G-AV2 was different (p< 0.05) of measured BF% of G-MOD. Conclusion:Beginning and seniorstudents in Physical Education at Federal University of Ouro Preto have similar perception onBI and BM, but not on BF%, of adult men. DESCRIPTORS Body Image.
