Percepción de autoestima en personas mayores que realizan o no actividad física-deportiva

Abstract

La autoestima se considera un componente psicológico fundamental de la calidad de vida y del bienestar personal e incluso ha sido propuesta como un área de intervención para mejorar la calidad de vida en la población mayor. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la autoestima en personas mayores de 65 años que realizan o no actividad física-deportiva. La muestra la componen 184 personas, de las que 92 realizan actividad física-deportiva y otras 92 no realizan actividad física-deportiva. Mediante una batería de pruebas se recogieron datos sociodemográficos, de frecuencia y duración de la actividad física-deportiva y de autoestima. Los resultados muestran un mayor nivel de autoestima entre las personas mayores que realizan actividad física-deportiva que las que no la realizan. Otros estudios muestran la relación positiva entre la autoestima y la realización de actividad física sobre la base de un programa con actividades y metodologías de carácter colectivo.Palabras clave: Autoestima; Actividad Física-deportiva; Personas Mayores. Self-esteem is considered a key psychological component of quality of life and personal well-being and has even been proposed as an area of intervention to improve the quality of life in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to analyze self-esteem in people over 65 years old who engaged in sports and physical activities or not. The sample consisted of 184 people; 92 engaged in physical activity and sports and 92 did not. We applied a battery of questionnaires to determine socio-demographic characteristics, the frequency and duration of physical activity and sports, and level of self-esteem. The results show that older people who engage in physical activity and sports have a higher level of self-esteem than those who do not. Based on a program of activities and collective methodologies, other studies have shown a positive relationship between self-esteem and physical activity.

“…Independence is linked to usefulness, decision-making, leisure activities, physical autonomy and health perception during old age. Consequently, PA enhances self-esteem (Herrera, Barranco, Melián, Herrera, Rodríguez & Mesa, 2004;López et al, 2006;Bergland, Thorsen and Loland, 2010;García, 2012) and is associated with positive self-esteem levels as it reinforces it (Tajfel &Turner, 1986;Eliezer, Major & Mendes, 2010;Troyano & García, 2013) and improves the quality of live of the elderly (Uribe, Padilla & Ramírez, 2004;Rodríguez, Valderrama & Uribe, 2010).…”

“…21 Likewise, the positive self-concept about health is related to the willingness of the elderly person to perform physical activities, which in turn favor their functional autonomy. 22 It is so that elderly people need to express and share their feelings, but at the same time, they need health professionals capable of listening and interpreting what is said. They need to face their problems or accept their situation in the best way.…”
