We conducted a cross-sectional study with descriptive/analytical between 88 female adolescent athletes (12.3¡À1.3 years), participants in the state crown RG. For measurement of body image, it was applied the test range of silhouettes with nine figures, and the assessment of nutritional status, body mass index (BMI) based on the proposal of Conde and Monteiro (2006). Dissatisfaction with body image was of 77.3% and 55.7% of gymnasts unfulfilled wish to lessen the silhouette. We could say that the levels of body dissatisfaction among the athletes investigated are at least concern, as these even when considered within the normal BMI, want to be thinner. %K Body image %K Rhythmic gymnastics %K Adolescents %K Nutritional status %U http://revistas.unoeste.br/revistas/ojs/index.php/cv/article/viewFile/681/609
