“…That is why girls should be more active and practice PA with the aim of increasing their psychosocial well-being [ 61 ], preserve mental health, and strengthen self-confidence. Otherwise, when the measurement of self-confidence perception is used with male adolescents, it is normal to find outcomes with greater levels of physical self-confidence [ 62 ] and social interactions [ 57 ]. Boys normally rate themselves with higher self-confidence than girls and higher participation in PA during their daily life [ 63 ].…”

Background: Physical self-perception is often related with better physical fitness perception in adolescents. Moreover, it is an important social cognitive perspective to provide suitable mental health in this population. However, this relationship is unequal between boys and girls. The physical fitness is a marker of health in young population. The aims of the present study were the following: (1) to compare physical self-perception and self-reported overall physical fitness (OPF) between boys and girls (gender) and body mass index (BMI) status, and (2) to determine the mediating role of all physical self-perception subscales (except physical condition) and BMI status in the link between gender and OPF in adolescent students. Methods: This cross-sectional study consisted of 85 adolescent students of secondary school between 12 and 17 years of age; 41 were boys (Mage = 14.6, SD = 1.7) and 44 were girls (Mage = 14.4, SD = 1.6). Adolescent participants completed all clinical characteristics by body composition measures (age, body weight, body height, and BMI). Physical self-perception was assessed by the physical self-perception profile (PSPP) whereas the international fitness scale (IFIS) was used to predict the self-reported OPF of adolescents in the present study. Results: Gender (boys and girls) differed significantly in all PSPP subscales and OPF, whereas the BMI status (underweight = 19 students, normal weight = 53 students, overweight/obese = 13 students) showed significant differences in all clinical characteristics, physical condition (PSPP), and OPF. A multiple mediation analysis was performed using bias corrected bootstrap. This multiple mediation analysis revealed that all PSPP subscales were significant mediators between gender and OPF: attractive body (p = 0.013), sport competence (p = 0.009), physical strength (p = 0.002), and self-confidence (p = 0.002). The total direct effect of gender on OPF was significant (p = 0.002). Moreover, the multiple mediation estimated a completely standardized indirect of X on Y for attractive body (effect = 0.109), sport competence (effect = 0.066), physical strength (effect = 0.130), and self-confidence (effect = 0.193). Conclusions: These findings contribute to understanding the link between gender and OPF in adolescent students and the mediation of physical self-perception and OPF in this relationship. In addition, strategies focused to improve self-confidence and physical self-perception are necessary in female adolescent students, because boys showed better physical self-perception in all PSPP subscales. Girls are a risk group because they report low physical self-confidence with their respective insecurity feelings and psychological disorders. Thus, personal physical self-perception must be considered as an important social cognitive perspective to provide suitable mental health in children and adolescents.

“…Üniversite öğrencilerinin spora ilişkin görüşleri ile ilgili alanyazına baktığımızda ise SalehNia ve ark (2011) tarafından İran'da 368 aktif ve inaktif üniversite öğrencisinin spora yönelik tutumunun karşılaştırıldığı çalışmada, spora yönelik tutumun medeni durum, spor deneyimi, aylık gelir ve aile büyüklüğüne göre değişmediği tespit edilmiştir (12). Singh ve Devi (2013) tarafından Hindistan'da Manipur'da 180 üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmada da öğrencilerin spor ve oyuna karşı olumlu tutum sergiledikleri bunun yanında erkek öğrencilerin kadın öğrencilere göre oyun ve spora karşı daha olumlu bir tutum sergiledikleri saptanmıştır (14).…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı spor dışındaki alanlarda öğrenim gören üniversite öğrencilerinin spora yönelik tutumlarını ölçebilecek bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Araştırmaya Ankara Üniversitesi'nde hazırlık öğrenimi gören 172'si kadın (%51.0), 165'i erkek (%49.0) olmak üzere 337 öğrenci gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde maddetoplam test korelasyonu, KMO ve Barlett Sphericity testi, doğrulayıcı ve açımlayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonrasında ölçeğin 22 madde ve psikososyal gelişme, fiziksel gelişme ve zihinsel gelişme olmak üzere üç faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Maddelerin yük değerleri .452 ile .850 arasında değişmektedir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik seviyesini test etmek için ise Cronbach's Alpha güvenirlik katsayısına ve Spearman-Brown iç tutarlık katsayısına bakılmış ve bu değerler sırasıyla. 891 ve .839 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; yapılan geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması sonucunda üniversite öğrencilerinin spora yönelik tutumlarını ölçmek amacıyla geliştiren ölçeğin kullanılabilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
