      ab: Introduction: One of the most practical psychological interventions in the field of managing mental disorders is acceptance and commitment-based therapy (ACT). The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of ACT on body image (BI) and mental health (MH) in male bodybuilding athletes. Materials & Methods: The method of this research is a quasi-experimental type of pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research is all the male bodybuilding athletes of Izeh city, of whom 30 people were selected as a sample using available and voluntary sampling in two experimental (15 participants) and control (15 participants) groups, of which the intervention group received 10 interventional sessions (weekly). The library method was used to collect the background and theoretical foundations of the research, and the standard Body Image and Goldberg's Mental Health were used. In order to analyze the data, MANCOVA and ANCOVA statistical tests were used with the help of SPSS V.24 (P<0.05). Results: The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups after therapeutic interventions based on ACT in the variable of mental health (MH) (Partial Eta=0.56, P-value=0.001), but there was no significant difference in body image (BI) (Partial Eta=0.07, P-value=0.085). Conclusion: Therapeutic interventions based on ACT improve the MH of bodybuilding athletes. Therefore, managers and sports coaches can use this method of intervention in order to reduce the negative emotions of athletes.
