“…Resaltando a su vez que esta afecta a la conducta del ejercicio y a la auto-evaluación física del individuo (Harter, 1986). Los efectos positivos en la autoestima y el autoconcepto físico, también se han atribuido a la práctica físico-deportiva (Bruya, 1977;McGowan, Jarman, y Pedersen, 1974).…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of gender, alcohol use, smoking behaviour and the practice of sport on physical selfconcept among Spanish students of physical education. A total of 1. 008 students (M age = 15.94, M age = 15.94, M SD = 89) participated in the study, and SD = 89) participated in the study, and SD completed the physical self-concept questionnaire (PSQ). The results revealed that physical self-concept was related to gender, alcohol use, smoking behaviour and the practice of sport. The best perception of body image was found in women who did not smoke and participants (male and female) who did not do sport. On the other hand, being male and practicing sport predicted general physical self-concept. This study shows the relevance of the belief that smoking is associated with good body image and that sport is practiced to improve physical appearance.Key words: Physical self-concept, age, gender, sport, physical education, tobacco, alcohol. RESUMEN ABSTRACTEl pr opósito de este estudio ha sido comprobar la relación del género, el consumo de tabaco y alcohol y la práctica físico-deportiva en el autoconcepto físico en estudiantes adolescentes españoles de educación física. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1.008 alumnos (M edad = 15.94, M edad = 15.94, M DT = .89) a los que se les pasó el cuestionario de autoconcepto físico DT = .89) a los que se les pasó el cuestionario de autoconcepto físico DT (PSQ). Tras distintos análisis de correlación, univariantes, multivariantes y de regresión, los resultados revelaron que el autoconcepto físico presentaba relaciones con el género, el consumo de tabaco y alcohol y la práctica físico-deportiva. La mejor percepción de la imagen corporal se observó en las mujeres que no fumaban y los no practicantes de actividad físico-deportiva. Por otro lado, el ser varón y practicar deporte fue lo que más predecía el autoconcepto físico, entendiendo por este la autovaloración física. Como conclusión, este estudio muestra la relevancia que tiene el resultado de que la acción de fumar se asocia con una buena imagen corporal y que la práctica del deporte se realiza para fomentar una apariencia física más positiva y acorde con los cánones de belleza establecidos en nuestra sociedad actual.

“…AE has been associated with improved self-concept among children (MacMahon & Gross, 1987;McGowan, Jarman, & Pedersen, 1974;Percy, Dziuban, & Martin, 1981). Several researchers have suggested a causal link between behavior problems and self-concept (Boyd & Hensley, 1978;Gruber, 1986;Richman et al, 1984;Rosenberg & Rosenberg, 1978).…”

This study evaluated the effects of antecedent physical exercise (AE) and a mastery task on behaviorally disturbed children's self-concepts and rates of disruptive behaviors. In addition, we evaluated whether changes in self-concept mediated any exercise induced changes in rates of disruptive behavior. Fifty-eight children were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (a) antecedent exercise (jog/walk), (b) "mastery" task (a successive improvement miniaturebasketball shooting task), and (c) no treatment control group. A week of baseline was followed by 4 weeks of treatment and, finally another week of return to baseline. Results indicated that: (a) AE produced significantly less disruptive behavior than no treatment, (b) the "Mastery" task did not produce significantly less disruptive behavior than no treatment, (c) neither treatment produced increases in self-concept relative to no treatment, and (d) changes in self-concept did not mediate AE induced reductions in disruptive behaviors.This study evaluated the effects of antecedent physical exercise (AE) and a mastery task on behaviorally disturbed children's self-concepts and rates of disruptive behaviors. The purpose was to test two hypotheses regarding the mechanisms underlying the effects of AE. One proposed hypothesis is that improvement in an activity, whether physically beneficial or not, is what underlies the behavioral benefits of AE. The second hypothesis is that changes in self-concept mediate the effects of AE on disruptive behavior.During the last decade or so, researchers have begun to focus on the psychological and behavioral effects of physical exercise (Seraganian, 1993).Requests for reprints should be sent to Vincent C.

“…Third, it has been suggested that improved physical fitness which is achieved through physical activity in leisure and work pursuits may be what accounts for the positive relationship of activity and well-being (Blumenthal, Schocken, Needels, & Hindle, 1982;Brown, Ramirez, & Taub, 1978;Eickhoff, Thorland, & Ansorge, 1983;McGowan, Jarman, & Pedersen, 1974;Morgan & Horstman, 1976;Pauley, Palmer, Wright, & Pfeiffer, 1982). That is, it may not be the extent of leisure physical activity but the fitness consequences that affect well-being.…”

“…This may result from improvements in the self-concept of participants after they have achieved improved fitness (Hillyer & Mitchell, 1979;McGowan et al, 1974). Or, the improved self-concept and greater well-being may be outcomes of success in a physical challenge or mastery of one's physical environment (Higdon, 1978;Sachs, 1981).…”

This study examines the relationship between physical activity in sport and feelings of well-being, testing alternative interpretations of the relationship between these two variables. It was expected that there would be positive relationships between physical activity on the one hand and physical fitness, feelings of well-being, social interaction in the sport and exercise environment, and socioeconomic status on the other hand. It was also expected that physical fitness, social interaction, and socioeconomic status would be positively related to psychological well-being. Further, it was expected that any positive zero-order relationship of physical activity and well-being would be at least in part a result of the conjoint effects of the other variables. The analyses were conducted separately for the male and female subsamples of a large survey study of Canadian adults. The results, after controls, show a modest positive relationship of physical activity and well-being for males but no such relationship for females. The predicted independent effects of the control factors obtained for both males and females. Interpretations of the results are discussed.
