The purpose of the present study was to examine physical self- descriptive subscales in elite female fitness coaches of Iran. In this survey, 83 female aerobic coaches that participated in an international coaching course were stratified randomly selected and Physical Self-Descriptive Questionnaire (Marsh, 1994) were distributed. Content validity of this questionnaire was confirmed in Iran and internal consistency of questionnaire in a pilot study was 0.92. Data analysis was by employing Pearson correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Willis, t independent, ANOVA and K-S tests. The findings showed that there was significant difference between mean score of physical self-descriptive (F=3.082, P=0.021) and also sport competence, strength, endurance and body fat subscales of elite female aerobic coaches with separate of their regular exercise sessions in week (P<0.05). Also, there was significant difference between mean scores of appearance and body fat sub-scales in married and single coaches (P<0.05). Finally, aerobic coaches’ physical self- descriptive has a key role for them to develop their profession.
