Exercise, dance, and other practices that affect motility and postural schemas can have an effect on the emotive evaluation of one's own body image (Adame et’al. 1991; Dasch 1978; Davis and Cowles 1991; Skrinar et’al. 1986). In these studies, subjects who improve in neuromuscular coordination, strength, and endurance, or who experience increased coordination, balance, agility, and improved posture through exercise, gain a perception of body competence and achieve a higher degree of satisfaction with their own bodies and motor capacities. Thus changes in the control of movement associated with exercise alter the way that subjects emotionally relate to and perceive their bodies. It is not difficult to imagine that such positive effects can change one's attitude toward and perception of the surrounding world in ways that may be diametrically opposed to the patients discussed in (1).
