Do you think you can tell how fit, strong or fast someone is just by the shape of their body? Try the Body of a Champion quiz and surprise yourself. Use it with our action checklist to start a conversation about positive body image with your child.
Body of a Champion: a quiz for body conscious young people – and their parents
Body of a Champion takes female athletes from a variety of sports – from a runner and a swimmer to a ballerina and a rugby player – and asks what you know about their lifestyles. Who eats the most calories? Who’s the strongest? Who has the most protein in their diet? Who does the most training? You might be surprised by some of the answers.
After you’ve played the game, challenge your child to try it, too. It will help both of you see how easy it is to assume that a certain body shape is related to a particular lifestyle.
Action checklist There’s no such thing as the perfect body shape
