“…Further researchers have shown that engaging in sports, self-esteem, and body image were positively related and it has been found that physical activities increased the development of self-esteem and body image in a short period of time (Aşçı et al, 2001;Crocker et al, 2003;Cuddihy et al, 2006;Dishman et al, 2006;İkizler, 2002;Nigg, Norman, Rossi, & Benisovich, 2001;Raustorp, Stahle, Gudasic, Kinnunen, & Mattsson, 2005;Schneider, Dunton, & Cooper, 2008).…”

Low self-esteem is usually happening in early adolescence girls, which affect negatively to their mental health development. Body image is considered as a predictor of the development of self-esteem in early adolescence girls due to their very high concerned about their body shape. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body image and self-esteem to early adolescence girls in the District of Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh. This study used the quantitative method with stratified random sampling technique. Samples are given from 125 junior high school students. Data was collected by Body Image Scale, which consists of 16 statements and by Self-Esteem Scale, which consists of 20 statements. Data analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Test with correlation coefficient 0,093 (arithmetic < 0.176) with a significance level of 0.301 (p > 0.05). The results showed that there is no significant positive relationship between body image and self-esteem in early adolescence girls in the District of Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh.

“…In studies of Australian adolescents, the PSDQ has been found to have good test-retest reliability (r = .83, 3 months; Marsh, 1996), as well as high alpha coefficients and factor loadings for each of the scales (Marsh et al, 1994). The factor loadings of these scales were recently replicated in an American University sample (Nigg et al, 2001). In addition, a study of sedentary female adolescents provided support for the validity of the PSDQ in terms of correlations between the subscales and external criteria of physical fitness and activity (Dunton, Schneider Jamner, & Cooper, 2003).…”

“…Correlational evidence suggests that PA is positively related to self-concept (Asci, Kosar, & Isler, 2001;Crocker, Sabiston, Forrestor, Kowalski, & McDonough, 2003;Dishman, Hales, Pfeiffer, Felton, Saunders et al, 2006;Nigg, Norman, Rossi, & Benisovich, 2001;Raustorp, Stahle, Gudasic, Kinnunen, & Mattsson, 2005), and a recent review of intervention studies among children and adolescents supported the hypothesis that increasing PA yields a shortterm improvement in self-concept among youth (Ekeland et al, 2004). The authors of the review, however, note that many of the studies among youth have been subject to methodological limitations; only one of the 25 studies included in the review was judged to have a "low risk of bias", and 14 had a "high risk of bias".…”

PROBLEM: Physical activity has been promoted as a means of enhancing self-concept, yet the evidence for this connection is far from compelling. In particular, experimental research investigating this association during adolescence, a period during which many youth struggle to maintain a positive self-image, is noticeably lacking. This study investigates the impact on self-concept of a 9-month physical activity intervention among sedentary adolescent females. METHOD: Female adolescents who were sedentary at baseline were assigned either to an exercise intervention or a comparison group as part of the controlled trial. The intervention was school-based, and assignment to groups was based on school attended. Intervention participants engaged in supervised activity 4 times per week and received didactic instruction promoting activity outside of school 1 day per week. Self-concept, physical activity participation, and cardiovascular fitness were assessed before, mid-way through, and after the 9-month intervention. RESULTS: The intervention had a significant positive impact on participation in vigorous activity and cardiovascular fitness. The intervention did not significantly influence any of the self-concept dimensions overall. There was, however, a three-way interaction such that there was an increase in global physical self-concept among those intervention participants who increased cardiovascular fitness. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that a physical activity intervention among sedentary adolescent females enhanced global physical self-concept for a subset of intervention participants who manifested positive changes in fitness.
