“…Crocker, Eklund, and Kowalski (2000) found a positive correlation between physical self-perceptions and both boys and girls physical activity levels, although boys were more physically active than girls and had higher perceptions of sport competence and strength. Similar results regarding the positive relationships between physical self-perceptions and participation in physical activities have also been reported (Hagger et al, 1998;Parfitt & Eston, 2005;Parfitt, Pavey, & Rowlands, 2009;Raudsepp, Liblik, & Hannus, 2002;Welk & Eklund, 2005). Moreover, students' body mass index was positively correlated with children's self-perception of body attractiveness and physical condition and the VO 2 max estimation was positively correlated with children's self-perception of their physical condition (Welk & Eklund, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile questionnaire. The factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, concurrent and criterion-related validity, and social desirability effect were examined. Results from the confirmatory factor analyzes supported the six-factor solution and the hypothesized hierarchical structure of these factors. Internal consistency and temporal stability were adequate and no social desirability effect was emerged. Moreover, the concurrent and the criterion validity of the questionnaire were supported. In particular, questionnaire subscales were correlated in expected ways with corresponding subscales of the Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children as well as with students' scores in shuttle run test and the participation time in sport. Overall, the results showed that the Greek version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to examine Greek children's and youth's selfperceptions.

“…Por otro lado, en lo que respecta al papel de cada una de las dimensiones del autoconcepto físico en la determinación de la actividad físico-deportiva, los resultados obtenidos muestran, de forma consistente con los de algunos trabajos previos Inchley et al, 2009;Jaakola y Washington, 20011;Knowles et al, 2009;Raudsepp et al, 2002), una relación de influencia de carácter positivo de la habilidad física, de la condición física y de la fuerza física sobre la frecuencia, la duración y la intensidad de la actividad físico-deportiva. Por el contrario, indican también que la relación de influencia que ejerce el atractivo físico es de signo negativo, resultado que precisa especial comentario.…”

“…En efecto, la investigación previa indica tanto que el atractivo es un predictor positivo de la actividad física (Raudsepp et al, 2002) como que se trata de la dimensión del autoconcepto físico menos relacionada con la misma (Fox y Corbin, 1989). Sin embargo, y a falta de futuras precisiones, tiene sentido interpretar que una percepción negativa del atractivo físico propio conduce a una mayor frecuencia, duración e intensidad de la actividad físico-deportiva; comprobaciones similares se han constatado entre la percepción negativa de la imagen corporal y la actividad física (Bakker, 1988;Camacho et al, 2006;Loland, 2000).…”

Relaciones entre el autoconcepto físico y la actividad físico-deportiva adolescente / Relationships between Adolescent Physical Self-Concept and Physical Activity. RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio es someter a prueba dos modelos contrapuestos sobre las relaciones entre las autopercepciones físicas y la actividad físico-deportiva en la adolescencia: mientras que un modelo postula la influencia de la actividad física sobre el autoconcepto físico, el modelo alternativo propone al autoconcepto físico como factor influyente en la actividad físico-deportiva. Participan en la investigación 704 estudiantes, 394 (55.96 %) hombres y 310 (44.04 %) mujeres entre 11 y 19 años (M = 14.91; D.T. = 2.13), residentes en dos Comunidades Autónomas (Cantabria y País Vasco) de España. Los Rev.int.med.cienc.act.fís.deporte -vol. 16 -número 63 -ISSN: 1577-0354 562 resultados indican que las influencias entre el autoconcepto físico y la actividad físico-deportiva se producen de forma bidireccional si bien ajusta mejor el modelo que propone al autoconcepto físico como factor influyente. Se comprueban diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en el modelo. Por otro lado, la autopercepción de atractivo físico mantiene una relación negativa con la actividad físico-deportiva. PALABRAS CLAVE:Autoconcepto físico, actividad física, adolescencia ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to test two opposing models of the relationship between physical self-perceptions and physical activity during adolescence: one which postulates that physical activity influences physical self-concept, and another one which proposes that physical self-concept influences physical activity. Participants were 704 students aged between 11 and 19 (M = 14.91; SD = 2.13) from two different Autonomous Regions in Spain (Cantabria and the Basque Country). 394 (55.96%) were male and 310 (44.04%) were female. The results indicate that the influences between physical self-concept and physical activity are bidirectional in nature, although the model that proposes physical selfconcept as an influencing factor was found to have a better fitness. Differences were found in the model between male and female students. Furthermore, selfperception of physical attractiveness was found to be negatively related to physical activity.

“…Children and adolescents with more positive physical self perceptions are more likely to be motivated to participate in a physically active lifestyle (Raudsepp, Liblik, & Hannus, 2002). Furthermore, an individual's perceived competence in physical domains is a key component of intrinsic motivation including choosing to participate, sustaining effort and continuing interest in task or activities (Duda, Chi, Newton, Walling, & Catley, 1995).…”

Adolescents with low motor competence have diminished perceptions of their physical self and tend to avoid physical activities. This study examined the outcomes of an exercise intervention that focused on improving aerobic fitness, strength, and self-perceptions in the physical domain in adolescents with poor motor coordination. The sample included 35 adolescents with low motor competence, comprising boys (n = 25) and girls (n = 10) ranging in age from 13 to 17 years, who attended two sessions per week in the 13 week exercise intervention study (AMP it up). Physical self-perceptions were measured before and after the intervention using the Physical Self Perception Profile and Perceived Importance Profile. Significant improvements in perceived Physical
