| Summary: | 碩士 === 大葉大學 === 運動健康管理學系 === 103 === In recent years, the government has attached great importance to improving students’ swimming ability. As a result, physical education teachers who teach swimming play a very important role. In order to maintain a professional image so as to instruct students to participate in exercise, physical education teachers care a lot about their body shape, which is especially prominent in a swimming pool where physical education teachers have to wear a fitted swimmer and show their body. In response to this phenomenon, this study aims to explore the body image and social physique anxiety of physical education teachers when they teach swimming. A questionnaire survey was conducted on physical education teachers in senior high school and vocational senior high school who teach swimming. A total of 162 valid samples were retrieved. The data were analyzed with regression analysis, one-way ANOVA, independent sample t test, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results are as follows: 1) Physical education teachers with different expertise show significant body image differences. Physical education teachers who specialize in swimming have a more positive body image whereas physical education teachers whose body mass index (BMI) indicates obesity have a more negative body image. 2) Physical education teachers with different BMIs show significant differences in social physique anxiety. Physical education teachers who specialize in swimming have a lower level of social physique anxiety whereas physical education teachers whose BMIs indicate obesity have a higher level of social physique anxiety. 3) There is a significant correlation between physical education teachers’ body image and social physique anxiety when they teach swimming.
