In a twelve week study, men and women were instructed to lift weights for five days a week. Before and after the twelve week period a subjective questionaire and objective measurements were administered. For men, body image improvements were correlated only with subjective physical changes. But for women, body image improvements were correlated with subjective physical changes as well as objective increases in strength.
