Background: This study represents a review of literature on the relationship between recreational physical activity and the body image. Material/Methods: This research encompasses 39 papers published between 2008 and 2015 that were available in the Academic Search Complete database. Results: The results of comparative, prospective, and experimental research are ambiguous. These data suggest both a positive relationship between the body image and physical activity, i.e. a more positive body image among more active people and an improvement in the body image as a result of regular exercise, and a negative relationship, in particular, a more negative body image in persons engaging in “aesthetic” sports. Conclusions: Apparently, this is determined by the type of physical activity, i.e. recreational vs. sport. In the case of the latter, it is determined by the sport discipline chosen by respondents.
