BRANDAO, Alex Carneiro et al. Satisfaction of body image and its relationships with biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender schemas of self-concept in dancers: a systematic review. Rev. Motriviv.

English abstract version the concept of body image is based on a multidimensional construct, formed of representations about the size and appearance of the body. The objective was to systematically verify the literature studies that showed the relationship between body image satisfaction and sexual variables. The results showed that the area that studies the perception of body image in dancers has not yet perceived the importance of other dimensions such as gender identity, sexual orientation and self-concept gender schemes, which may have greater impact than just the biological sex criterion . Biological sex is still the main control variable in the comparison among studies among dancers, and there is an urgent need for other dimensions of identity to be incorporated in future studies, such as those cited above, to increase the capacity to explain human body satisfaction.

Keywords : Body image; Sex; Sexual orientation; Gender identity.
