    The objective of the article was to analyze the perception of body image and body compositi o n of people who practice bodybuilding in the Quero canton, with an observational-descript i v e methodology with a quantitative approach in which surveys were conducted in order to determine the perception of body image and bioimpedance was used to evaluate the body composition of bodybuilders. The sample consisted of 50 Ecuadorian athletes between 18 and 50 years of age. The instruments used were Omron HBF-514C digital scales, which estima t e body composition by measuring the electrical resistance of the body. The analysis shows a diverse distribution of body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, visceral fat level, muscle mass and body circumference index, providing a complete picture of health and fitness. Therefore, they give as results, in women an average BMI value of 27.40; while in men their BMI is 24.79, as well as their body fat defined in the average of women is 33.41 and in men it is 22. 96; following the same order in terms of skeletal muscles we have values of 28.45 and 36.07; while in terms of visceral fat we have 12 and 12.31, as well as metabolic age we have 35.09 and 31.69, ending with waist/hip with 0.87 and 0.90.
