Seventeen women (aged 45–64) sent diary entries via WhatsApp after each personal training session over a period of four weeks. Each participant then took part in a semi-structured interview to elaborate on their diary entries and their overall experiences of their body in the context of their personal training sessions. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis from a critical-realist perspective. Four themes were generated: (1) <em>“We’re all different, aren’t we?”: Permission to be me</em>, (2) <em>“Dial it back accordingly”: Confidence through responsiveness</em>, (3) <em>A mutual focus on function,</em> and (4) <em>Supporting connection with the body through movement</em>.

This study aimed to validate the Sociocultural Attitude Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised (SATAQ-4R) among Italian adolescents aged 13–17 years. A total of 692 girls (<em>M</em><sub>age</sub> = 15.5 years ± 1.16) and 450 boys (<em>M</em><sub>age</sub> = 15.2 years ± 1.21) completed the Female and Male versions of the SATAQ-4R along with other self-report tools assessing ED symptoms, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, peer and family appearance pressure, drive for muscularity, and frequency of Instagram appearance comparisons. To investigate the SATAQ-4R factor structure, several models were tested. Measurement invariance across early and middle adolescent groups, reliability, and validity were addressed. The original 7-factor model yielded the best fit to the data for both boys and girls. This model was also invariant across age groups. Both the SATAQ-4R-Male and Female exhibited excellent psychometric properties in terms of construct and criterion validity, as well as internal consistency (McDonald’s omega values ranging from .79 to .93 for the SARAQ-4R-Male and from .82 to .93 for the SATAQ-4R-Female).
