Summary

This trial tests a school-based program called the Young Athlete Body Project, designed for adolescent athletes in Norway. The program includes digital lessons and group workshops that challenge unhealthy appearance ideals and build resistance to social pressures. Researchers will measure whether it reduces internalization of thinness and muscularity ideals and improves body appreciation. The goal is to prevent body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in a group that faces unique pressures from both society and sport.

What could go wrong
The trial is early and results may not show lasting effects. The program's success depends on school participation and student engagement, and it may not work for everyone.
