“…The participation in sporting activity as a variable of higher level of psychological well-being is consistent with the authors [92,93]. High school learners from the South Africa perceived that increasing exercising and sporting activities in sport participation resulted in significantly positive responses of physical health, mental health, happiness, and well-being [94]. The implication of the study [77] is that life satisfaction and positive affect mitigate the negative effects of stressful life events and work against the development of psychological and behavioral problems among youth.…”

Quality of Life - Biopsychosocial Perspectives

Sport is a social phenomenon. The positive influence of sport helps improve the quality of life of a person. Subjective dimensions of quality of life can be perceived as person's individual perception of his/her life experience with all the influences he/she encounters and how they affect him or her. The aim of this chapter will be to broaden the knowledge with regards to effects of sport on subjective dimensions of quality of life. 196 (sport active) and 149 (sport inactive) adolescents were the research sample for questionnaire research (Q-LES-Q , SWLS). Two subjective dimensions of quality of life gave evidence that sporting activity positively influenced the perception of dimension of quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction and the dimension of global satisfaction with life among adolescents. Sport active boys are statistically significantly more satisfied with the domain quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction in comparison to sport inactive boys (p = 0.027). No statistical difference was found in domain quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction between sport active girls and sport inactive girls. In the global satisfaction with life we found out the statistical difference between sport active boys and sport inactive boys (p < 0.001) and sport active girls and sport inactive girls (p = 0.026).

“…In youth, physical fitness is not only related to sports performance but also used as a surrogate marker of health‐related outcomes (Armstrong & McManus, 2011; McManus & Armstrong, 2011). In addition, information on physical fitness fosters knowledge on understanding the physiologic development of youth (Brown, Patel, & Darmawan, 2017), while supporting the identification and development of athletic talents. Generally, physical fitness is assessed using a combination of tests aimed at analysing specific physiological components, such as anthropometric measures (e.g., height, weight, waist circumference), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), upper and lower muscular fitness (MF), and agility and speed (Ortega, Ruiz, & Castillo, 2008; Vanhelst, Beghin, & Fardy, 2016).…”

Monitoring physical fitness in young athletes is essential to improve physical performance, identify talents and develop injury prevention programs. The aim of this investigation was to analyse the reliability of the physical fitness tests from the FITescola® battery in young athletes with different sports backgrounds and competition levels. Participants comprised of 138 young athletes (boys n = 92) aged 9 and 18 years old. Eight physical fitness tests assessing six components of physical fitness were performed: cardiorespiratory fitness (PACER); upper body muscular fitness (push‐up); flexibility (sit and reach); lower‐body muscular fitness (horizontal and vertical jump); agility (4 × 10 shuttle run); and speed (sprint at 20 m and 40 m). Each test was performed twice, with a one‐week interval (7 days) between duplicate tests. No differences between duplicate tests were found (p > .05), except for the speed at 20 m in boys (p < .001) and speed at 40 m in girls (p = .006). The battery of tests had good or excellent reliability and concordance of the ICC between the two trials (ICC ≥ 0.75) with exception for the 20 m speed run in girls that presented moderate reliability (ICC = 0.57). The Bland–Altman plots showed high reliability for all the fitness tests for both sexes. Hence, The FITescola® battery may be a novel tool to assess the physical fitness of large groups of young athletes from different sports backgrounds.

“…A hypothesis for ours findings is that we had no influence on the training program during season, and maybe this can be a factor that influenced on the comparison of swimmers' performance. Regarding the nondifference between boys and girls maybe this fact occurred due to the growth and development process, where this period motor ability and physical performance (Brown, Patel, & Darmawan, 2017).…”

Anxiety is the main emotion, which influences life quality and competitive performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate anxiety levels on different training phases during a semester season and to analyze the relation between anxiety and athletic training of adolescent swimmers. Twenty swimmers were included, 13 men with an average age of 15.6 ± 1.8 years old, and 7 women with an average age of 13.4 ± 0.7 years old. The swimmers were asked to answer the Trait Anxiety (TA) and Anxiety State (SA) inventories during one season, which had five periods of preparation for a major competition. Results showed that there was no significant difference on the performance (p>0.05) when compared base and competition periods to all swimmers, or when analyzed per gender or age categories. The change of swimming race time (base and competition period) of girls (0.6 ± 3.3 s) and boys (0.1 ± 7.9 s), also was compared, but there was no significant difference between them (p = 0.97). We concluded that the girls presented higher scores to anxiety in the competitive period compared to boys. As well as infantile category showed higher state anxiety scores compared to juvenile. However, there was no correlation between changes of anxiety scores and performance.
