Abstract:
Background Information shared via social media influences college students’ self-perceptions and behavior, particularly, “fitspiration” posts (ie, images of healthy food, people exercising, or fitness quotations). There are mixed findings regarding the mental health implications of fitspiration and its potential to motivate healthy behavior. Individual differences such as social comparison orientation and regulatory focus could aid in determining for whom fitspiration may be helpful versus harmful, though these characteristics have received limited attention in terms of students’ fitspiration perceptions. Objective This cross-sectional study examined associations between students’ fitspiration use (ie, intentional versus unintentional exposure while using social media), response tendencies (ie, feelings about the self and motivation to be physically active), social comparison orientation, and regulatory focus. Methods College students (N=344; 239/344, 69.5% women) completed an electronic survey in which they self-reported demographic information, the frequency of their social media use, exposure to fitspiration posts, typical feelings in response to fitspiration posts, and typical motivation for physical activity after viewing fitspiration posts. They also completed validated self-report measures of social comparison orientation and regulatory focus. Results College students reported frequent exposure to fitspiration posts on social media and that they experienced negative feelings in response to these posts more often than positive feelings. Average motivation for physical activity was rated as feeling motivated “some of the time.” However, students who reported more negative feelings after viewing fitspiration also reported greater motivation to be physically active after exposure. Associations between the frequency of intentional fitspiration use and motivation for physical activity after viewing fitspiration posts were moderated by social comparison orientation (b=−0.01, P=.03) but not by regulatory focus (b=−0.002, P=.67). Conclusions Negative feelings about the self may be motivating for students with weak social comparison orientation, as fitspiration may highlight a discrepancy between one’s real and ideal self that does not prompt dejection or disengagement. However, negative feelings for prevention-focused students might not be as motivating because there are no salient negative models to avoid. Further research into these associations is warranted and could inform future efforts to promote student health and well-being during college.

Abstract:
Swimmer Dara Torres’s comeback to her sport at 41 years of age was a prominent story from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. While her record making swims made her comeback an athletic success, the importance of her comeback extends beyond her athletic accomplishments. Media representations of Torres during her comeback construct her body and the lifestyle that produced it as inspirational—or fitspirational. Although the term circulates widely in U.S. popular culture, and despite its importance in reframing what a woman’s ideal body is and how it is achieved, fitspiration has not received much attention from scholars. In this article, we use the constructed narrative of Torres’s 2008 comeback to demonstrate how notions of individualism, self-monitoring practices, personal responsibility, and empowerment in conjunction with long-standing ideological portrayals of women athletes erase social inequalities and perpetuate heteronormative ideals. The constructed narrative produces her as a fitspirational figure whom American women should emulate. Furthermore, this process transforms Torres from an elite athlete to a mom who used sport to regain her fitness. Her status as an elite athlete is marginalized and her body becomes attainable through the representation of her age and motherhood as barriers that can be overcome through self-monitored consumptive practices.

Abstract:
Exposure to fitspiration content via social media can influence women’s body satisfaction and exercise inspiration, but fitspiration exposure has not been investigated in men. This study examined links between the frequency of viewing fitspiration content on Instagram, and men’s body satisfaction, appearance-based exercise motivation and health-based exercise motivation, and whether those relationships were mediated by muscular-ideal internalisation and/or appearance comparison tendency. Participants were 17- to 27-year-old Australian men who used Instagram ( N = 118). Frequency of viewing fitspiration content was not directly associated with body satisfaction or reasons for exercise. However, significant indirect pathways were observed through greater muscular-ideal internalisation and appearance comparison tendency. Viewing more fitspiration content was associated with greater muscular-ideal internalisation and higher appearance comparison tendency, which in turn was associated with less body satisfaction, more appearance-based exercise motivation and less health-based exercise motivation. Fitspiration appears to be more closely related to appearance than health in men.

Abstract:
Fitspiration has been positioned as an online interchange featuring images and text designed to inspire fitness and healthy eating. Given its ubiquity as an emerging social media trend, and its unintended impact on body image disturbance mediated by social comparison, Fitspiration has been understudied. This review draws on theoretical perspectives associated with traditional and new media impact on young women’s body image concerns, and overviews strategies to engage students in adopting a healthier body image. The manuscript also provides educational implications and directions for practice, particularly guided by media literacy models that may serve to intervene with body comparisons, inspire deeper learning and a renewed vision of fitness, health, and well-being.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to gain knowledge and understanding on fitspiration, itsbody ideal perception and exercise behaviour in a sample of young adults who are exercisers, daily social media usersand also fitspiration followers. To that end, semi-structured interviews were carried out to gather information from eight young adult exercisers (M = 22.5, SD =3.5 years). Thematic analysis (TA; Braun & Clarke, 2006) was used to analyse the data. The results were divided into three parts, 1) perception of fitspiration which has three main themes: Fitspiration as a tool that supports healthy behaviour, Untrustworthy fitspirational content, and Negative outcome on emotional well-being. 2) Fitspiration’s body ideal perception, which consists of one main theme: Unrealistic body ideals. 3) And lastly exercise behaviour in relation to viewing fitspirational content and has also one main theme: Inappropriate fitness goals. In summary, viewing fitspirational content on social media can provide young adults with information and motivation that supports healthy lifestyle behaviours like exercising. However, negative feelings appeared to arise from fitspiration viewing which may have an effect on psychological well-being. Although body ideals shown through fitspiration were perceived as unrealistic, the content seemed to adversely affect our participant’s fitness goals and determination.
Syftet med denna studien var att få kunskap och förståelse om fitspiration, uppfattning av fitspirations kroppsideal och träningsbeteende i ett urval av unga vuxnasom är motionärer, daglig användare av sociala medier och även anhängare av fitspiration. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördesför att samla information av åtta unga vuxna motionärer (M = 22,5, SD = 3,5 år). Tematisk analys (TA; Braun & Clarke, 2006)användes för att analysera data-information. Resultaten delades in i tre kategorier, 1) uppfattning av fitspiration som har tre huvudteman: Fitspiration som ett fenomen som stöder hälsosamt beteende, opålitlig fitspirations källa och negativ resultat på emotionellt välbefinnande. 2) Uppfattning av fitspirations kroppsideal som består av ett huvudtema; Orealistiska kroppsideal. 3) Och slutligen träningsbeteende i samband med att titta på fitspirations innehåll, som har huvudteman; Olämpliga träningsmål. Sammanfattningsvis kan fitspirations innehåll på sociala medier ge unga vuxna information och motivation som stöder hälsosamma beteenden, som att träna. Men negativa känslor upplevdes uppstå genom att titta på fitspirations inlägg som kan ha en inverkan på psykologiskt välbefinnande. Vidare, även om fitspirations kroppsideal upplevdes som orealistiska, innehållet verkar ha en roll i deltagarnas träningsmål och determination.
