Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine social physique anxiety in female varsity athletes participating in soccer, volleyball, hockey, basketball, rugby, and cross-country. A secondary purpose was to examine the level of social physique anxiety experienced by the female athletes when grouped according to the type of uniform (i.e., loose vs. firm-fitting) worn during competition. METHODS: Ninety-two female varsity athletes in their first through fifth year of study in a relatively small primarily undergraduate university participated in this research project. These participants completed the nine-item Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS-9) and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. RESULTS: The average SPAS-9 score for the female athletes was 27.0 ±7.7. There were no significant differences (p = 0.188) in the social physique anxiety experienced among the female athletes participating in the six different varsity sports. Females who competed in volleyball (29.9 ± 9.9) and soccer (29.8 ± 6.9) reported the most social physique anxiety while females who competed in hockey (24.6 ± 6.9) and basketball (25.1 ± 9.0) reported the least. Further, there were no significant differences in the SPAS-9 scores when the female athletes were grouped according to loose-fitting (26.4 ± 7.3) or form-fitting (28.6 ± 8.6) competition uniforms. Although there were no significant differences in mean SPAS-9 scores among the different varsity teams volleyball, soccer, and cross country athletes had relatively high mean SPAS-9 scores. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, social physique anxiety is an important variable to consider in females, regardless of the sport type or uniform worn for competition, as high levels of social physique anxiety may have negative implications for the female athlete's psychological and physiological health.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
