    total of 523 German (mean age 21.22) and 611 French (mean age 19.85) sports science
    students completed a questionnaire to assess body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness,
    drive for size, and motives for engaging with fitness-related social media.</jats:p>\r\n

    \                   <jats:p>Two-way factorial ANOVAs revealed that French students
    exhibited significantly greater body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness compared
    to their German counterparts. French female students demonstrated a stronger drive
    for size; male French students demonstrated a stronger drive for thinness. Hierarchical
    regression analysis showed that body image issues were predicted by gender, country,
    and social media motives, such as seeking dieting ideas.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n
    \                 <jats:sec>\r\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>\r\n
    \                   <jats:p>Qualitative studies are necessary to investigate unconventional
    body image concerns among French students. Given that future practitioners act
    as role models and may be responsible for developing health education programs,
    it is crucial to ensure that they can educate others in a healthy manner.</jats:p>\r\n
