Abstract

The study aimed to examine the association degree between eating attitudes, dissatisfaction with the self-image and body perceived competence context in competitive dancers participants 18º Passo de Arte/2010. The sample not selected on a voluntary probabilistic evaluated 267 dancers (123 classical and 144 non-classical dancers) between 10 and 18 years old. The instruments were used: Anamnesis Questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test, Body Shape Questionnaire, Self-Perception Profile for Children, Self Perception Profile for Adolescents and anthropometric assessment. For data analysis used the t test of Student, Test "U" Mann-Whitney, Spearman correlation, Chi-square and Poisson regression with robust variance (P≤ 0.05). Results revealed that the classical dancer's starts earlier in the modality, showed weight, height and BMI and lower weekly training load of greater than the nonclassical. A significant number of dancers in general reported higher feeling of fatigue, incidence of injuries and use of various analgesic drugs, showed much satisfaction with training, with outcome of contests and willingness to study. The image dissatisfaction body and eating behaviors risk did not differ between group's dancers and totaled 29.6% and 11.8%, respectively. The perceived competence was similar between groups ranging from moderate to high depending on the field. The physical appearance was related to self-concept of classical dancers, and the behavioral conduct of the self non-classical, and BMI showed weak and negative correlations with physical appearance and behavioral conduct. Dissatisfaction with body image was strongly associated with behavior food risk and both were associated the use of slimming drugs, the presence of menarche and the low perception of physical appearance and self-concept. The dissatisfaction with body image too BMI was associated with the presence of lesions, dissatisfaction with the results of competitions, not to feel good study, dedication to dance above 20 hours per week and low perception of conduct behavior. We conclude that the way with that dance has been working with the children and adolescents evaluated in this study appears to contribute to the satisfaction with which they conduct their lives beyond use of feedback from adults to evaluate their own performance. However, one part is not immune from problems that may develop associated rigor of this practice, showing that the causes for the adoption of risk behaviors appear to be related to multiple factors, psychological, biological and even sociocultural.
