Abstract

This study aims to investigate adolescents' body image perception in students of Colonel Lotfi Secondary School in Ouled Fayet, Algiers, Algeria. It aims to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in the variable of body image attributed to the variable of regular physical activity. Additionally, it explores whether there are statistically significant differences in the body image variable between males and females. For this purpose, a field study was conducted on a random sample of 100 students (15-16 years old), employing a descriptive approach and utilizing a standardized scale, the Sufiane Nafaa Body Image Scale. The study's results, after statistical analysis, reveal that the level of body image is higher among adolescents who engage in regular physical activities, and there are no gender-related differences in the perception of body image.
