    Satisfaction with muscular appearance and psychological well-being is a topic that, although little studied, may offer a better understanding in the scientific community. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between satisfaction with muscula r appearance and psychological well-being in young adult athletes. The sample consiste d of 118 participants, including women and men, ranging in age from 18 to 35 years. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach, non-experim ental design, cross - sectional and correlational in scope. The following instruments were used: the Muscula r Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS) by Mayville et al. (2002) and the Psychologi c a l Well-Being Scale by Carol Ryff (1989), the version adapted to Spanish by Díaz et al. (2006). Pearson's test was applied to determine the correlation. The results showed a slight positive relationship between both variables (R= 0.343 p< 0.001). Therefore, it is concluded that the greater the satisfaction with muscular appearance, the greater the psychological wellbeing of the athletes.
