High school health project help?!?!?

I need to finish a health project but I can't figure out the last question. I need to know why poor body image would decrease your participation in physical activity.

Any idea's?

    Poor body image can make people less confident about their speed, flexibility, and endurance which would make them unwilling to participate. Kids can also be cruel. A person with poor body image may not want to participate in activities because he is worried about how he will look to others. Abby

    You might feel self-conscious, that you're not good enough to participate, that people will judge you if you participate.
