Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects
of 8-week circuit-strength training on muscle strength,
body image and anxiety of anxious underweight male
college students. Hence, forty underweight male college
students anxious were divided into 2 groups: a strength
training group (N=20) and a control group (N=20).
Subjects in strength training group trained an 8-week, 3
days per week full body progressive circuit-strength
training, whereas control subjects did not participate in
any training activity. The anthropometrical, body
composition, body image (Multidimensional Body Self-
Relations Questionnaire), anxiety (Spielberger state-trait
Anxiety Inventory), muscle endurance and one repetition
maximum in six exercises were measured before and after
an eight-week training period. The results showed that 8-
week strength training elicited significant (P<0.05)
increase in upper- and lower body strength as measured by
1RM as well as legs' and arms' muscle hypertrophy. In
addition, strength training group had a significantly
greater improved increase in body image (BI) and reduced
social physique anxiety (SPA) then control group. This
study provides support for the use of weight training to
improve body image and anxiety, these may be derive
from considerable physical changes results from
resistance training such as significant increase in muscle
endurance, strength and muscle mass.
