Exercise plays an
important role in variables that involve concern about individuals' physical
appearance. Therefore, the effect of sedentary women between the ages of 25-35
on the effects of the exercises they participated for recreational purposes on
the levels of social physics anxiety was the aim of the study. 65 sedentary
women participated in the study voluntarily. Pilates group (PG, n=20), Fitness
group (FG, n=23) and control group (CG, n=25) were divided into three groups.
PG and FG perform the exercise 3 days a week for 3 months. The control group
did not perform any exercise. Statistics were performed by using SPSS package
program. Conformity of data to a normal distribution was evaluated by
Shapiro-Wilk test. Normally distributed data were expressed as mean and as
standard deviation. Paired-t-test was used for the pre-test and used the
post-test comparison of the data, while Repeated Measures ANOVA was used for
intergroup comparisons, and Unpaired t-test was used to determine to originate
on which group was the difference. Accordingly, after 3 months of an exercise,
there was a significant difference between body weight, body mass index and
pre-end values of social physique anxiety (SPA) in PG and FG (p <0.05).  Pair-wise
comparisons, this resultant difference was between exercise groups and the
control group (p <0.05). As a result, it is possible to mention the positive
effects of recreational exercises in social physics anxiety.
