Mental health and self-esteem among young and men are a growing concern in today's society. There is a lot of past research that proves that females often suffer from social physique anxiety and compulsive exercise behaviors, however there is very little research on males only in this subject area. Participants of this study (N=59) were males recruited from Central Connecticut State University Exercise Science and Physical Education Department classes. Data was collected to measure social physique anxiety and compulsive exercise behaviors. The social physique anxiety scale and the compulsive exercise test was used for data collection. A moderate positive significance was found between social physique anxiety and compulsive exercise. This may lead to the conclusion that having social physique anxiety may lead to compulsive exercise behaviors, however statistical significance was not found. The current study suggests that more research is needed on males and social physique anxiety as well as males and compulsive exercise behaviors.
