“…The study by Cruz et al (2016) made it possible to identify differences in terms of self-concept and self-esteem. The global results observed indicate dimensions that are highly valued in the school context, seeming to indicate a high potential of these students who practice nautical modalities (without body contact) in the pursuit of academic tasks, a situation evidenced in this study as well.…”

“…According to Cruz et al (2016), body image involves much more than just physical appearance, it also includes multiple psychological perspectives of the individual about his own body. These perspectives reflect the individual's own perceptions and attitudes, more precisely, in the concerning the thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors in relation to your body.…”

Introduction: Academic performance is favored in students who practice sports with body contact and develops an increasing value in self-concept when a comparison is established with those who don’t are engaged in sports without body contact. Methods: This study aimed to analyze and relate variables of self-concept, self-esteem and other variables such as aerobic capacity (VO2 max), handgrip strength and academic achievement, within the modalities that they practiced, with and without body contact. 132 middle-school students between 10 and 11 years old (69 boys and 63 girls) who attended the 5th and 6th grades participated. Results: It was found a mean level of behavior, physical appearance, school competence, social acceptance and higher academic performance in the group without body contact. A T-test was applied on self-concept variables, self-esteem, aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and academic performance, and the Mann-Whitney test on physical appearance variables and handgrip strength, finding only differences in the behavior variable, with a value of α = 0.014. A linear regression analysis was also presented in order to identify the best predictors of academic performance Conclusions: The practice of sports with body contact promotes a significant increase in behavior levels, compared to students without body contact, however the practice of this type of sports doesn’t show higher levels of self-esteem and academic performance, once compared to other students practicing sports without body contact. The best predictors identified were global self-concept, school competence and aerobic capacity.

ResumoA prática de modalidades náuticas tem vindo assumir um importante papel no processo educativo global. Neste estudo pretendemos caracterizar o nível motivacional de adolescentes praticantes náuticos em diferentes orientações motivacionais, as suas perceções e dos seus pais relativamente à prática da náutica de competição e o rendimento académico. Aplicamos uma Escala de Orientações Motivacionais (Skaalvik, 1997; Peixoto, Mata e Monteiro, 2008), e um questionário sociodemográfico a uma amostra de 103 adolescentes dos 11 aos 17 anos. Os resultados obtidos apontam uma relação positiva entre a prática de modalidades náuticas, a percepção de bem-estar e a prossecução de objetivos académicos. Palavras-Chave: adolescência, modalidades náuticas, orientações motivacionais AbstractThe practice of nature sports has come to play an important role in the overall educational process, with potential increase in motivation towards the pursuit of academic goals. We intend to characterize the motivational level of adolescents practicing water sports activities on different motivational orientations, scholastic results and practice of nautical sports. Skaalvik's scale of motivational orientations (Skaalvik, 1997;Peixoto, Mata, & Monteiro, 2008), as well as a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied to 103 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years old. It was observed a positive relationship between sport activities, sense of well-being and pursuit of academic goals. Keywords: adolescence, nautical sports, motivational orientations A prática regular de atividade física e desportiva, nomeadamente a prática de modalidades náuticas, especialmente na adolescência, uma fase marcada por um importante processo de transição biopsicossocial, constitui uma mais valia pelos benefícios que aporta em diferentes dimensões físicas e psicológicas (Diniz, 1998;Matos, Carvalhosa, & Diniz, 2001), não apenas pelos ganhos a nível cardiovascular, respiratório, ósseo e muscular, mas igualmente pelo que representa a nível afetivo, social e moral, uma vez que os adolescentes praticantes regulares de atividade física manifestam maior satisfação com o seu corpo e auto-imagem, melhor comunicação com a família e relações mais positivas com os pares (Matos et al., 2001), constituindo igualmente um meio privilegiado para o ensino de múltiplas competências, nomeadamente, na formação da identidade, do carácter, e do desenvolvimento psicológico (Dias, C., Cruz, J., & Danish, S., 2001).As atividades desportivas de natureza constituem uma experiência intensa e gratificante de vivências, uma vez produzirem-se em espaços e ambientes não habituais, desconhecidos por vezes, plenos de novidades e emoções, ao encontro da natureza autêntica.Mora e Padilla (2009) e Fullonet (1989), sublinham que a prática desportiva de natureza é hoje um componente importante do processo educativo global, positivo e gratificante para os jovens e para a comunidade, salientando a importância da componente competitiva como factor motivacional acrescido, para os que decidirem persistir neste tipo...
