A New Approach to Solving FAT Issues in Female Student Athletes Through Generative AI: A Psychological Support Model to Promote Body Appreciation
摘要
Recent years, the “Female Athlete Triad (FAT),” a health issue prevalent among female athletes, poses a significant challenge, particularly in aesthetic sports. This study examines the potential of “Body Appreciation,” a type of positive body image, as an effective solution to FAT-related problems. A psychological support system for female student athletes was developed using generative AI (Custom GPT), focusing on three factors: gratitude, self-compassion, and media influence. The system aimed to improve eating attitudes and promote positive body image associated with FAT issues. A 14-day experiment compared two groups: one using Custom GPT interactions and the other engaging in peer communication. Assessments were conducted using the BAS-2 and EAT-26 questionnaires. The results provide foundational data for addressing FAT issues and highlight the potential of AI-powered psychological support in advancing health outcomes for female athletes.
