“…Encouragingly, this outcome is what was observed in the majority of these studies. In 1 study, 59 the effect of an aerobic exercise intervention on depressive symptoms among overweight children was partially mediated by changes in perceived appearance and global self-worth. This study suggests that perceptions of the self are indeed related to ill-being in youth.…”

“…24 -26 In the studies included in the current review, relatedness was often operationalized as "social acceptance" (ie, the belief that one is valued and accepted by others). Social acceptance was measured in 3 studies, 58,59,68 and each of these studies also examined the effects of interventions on self-esteem. Interestingly, although significant intervention effects were reported for social acceptance in only 1 study, 58 improvements in self-esteem were found in all 3 studies.…”

CONTEXT: Physical activity can improve cognitive and mental health, but the underlying mechanisms have not been established. OBJECTIVE:To present a conceptual model explaining the mechanisms for the effect of physical activity on cognitive and mental health in young people and to conduct a systematic review of the evidence.DATA SOURCES: Six electronic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, Ovid Medline, SportDiscus, and Embase) were used.STUDY SELECTION: School-, home-, or community-based physical activity intervention or laboratory-based exercise interventions were assessed. Studies were eligible if they reported statistical analyses of changes in the following: (1) cognition or mental health; and (2) neurobiological, psychosocial, and behavioral mechanisms.DATA EXTRACTION: Data relating to methods, assessment period, participant characteristics, intervention type, setting, and facilitator/delivery were extracted. RESULTS:Twenty-five articles reporting results from 22 studies were included. Mechanisms studied were neurobiological (6 studies), psychosocial (18 studies), and behavioral (2 studies). Significant changes in at least 1 potential neurobiological mechanism were reported in 5 studies, and significant effects for at least 1 cognitive outcome were also found in 5 studies. One of 2 studies reported a significant effect for self-regulation, but neither study reported a significant impact on mental health. LIMITATIONS:Small number of studies and high levels of study heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS:The strongest evidence was found for improvements in physical self-perceptions, which accompanied enhanced self-esteem in the majority of studies measuring these outcomes. Few studies examined neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms, and we were unable to draw conclusions regarding their role in enhancing cognitive and mental health.

“…The Society of Behavioral Medicine supports physical activity promotion among all age groups but focuses this position statement specifically on elementary schoolchildren, given the preponderance of the evidence in this group and differing physical activity recommendations across the lifespan. activity improves cardiorespiratory fitness and mood and results in brain changes [4]. Regular physical activity improves executive function, and acute bouts improve attention and time on task [3,18].…”

“…Regular physical activity improves cognitive function, induces brain changes, and improves mood in children, in addition to improving their aerobic fitness [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Greater aerobic fitness and physical activity are associated cross sectionally with increased grade point averages and standardized test scores [9][10][11].…”

The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) urges elementary schools to provide children with ample opportunities to engage in physical activity during school hours. In addition to promoting overall child health, physical activity also supports academic achievement. In addition to improving their aerobic fitness, regular physical activity improves cognitive function, influences the brain, and improves mood in children. Better aerobic fitness and physical activity are associated with increased grade point averages and standardized test scores. Despite the documented relationship between physical activity, fitness, and academic achievement, few schools have implemented physical activity as a tool to improve academic performance. SBM recommends that elementary schools provide children with the recommended 60min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during school hours. Further, SBM urges schools to work with the local school districts and state education departments to mandate minimum physical activity time for elementary school physical education.

“…Las conclusiones de estos estudios ponen de relieve los vínculos existentes entre factores como la fuerza o la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria con medidas generales de autoconcepto y otras específicas como el autoconcepto físico, intelectual o social (Guillén y Ramírez, 2011;Petty, Davis, Tkacz, Young-Hyman y Waller, 2009;Sherrill, Holguin y Caywood, 1989;Strong et al, 2005;Vedul-Kjelsäs, Sigmundsson, Stensdotter y Haga, 2012;Velez et al, 2010). En la presente investigación, aunque la velocidad, la flexión profunda de tronco y el salto horizontal han correlacionado significativamente con las diferentes dimensiones del autoconcepto estudiado, el consumo máximo de oxígeno es la medida que más relevancia ha tenido.…”

Relación del autoconcepto con la condición física y la composición corporal en una muestra de adolescentes

et al. 2014

Resumen: El propósito de este trabajo es examinar las relaciones entre el autoconcepto y diferentes variables de la condición física, así como el porcentaje de masa grasa. Han participado en el estudio 283 adolescentes de la ciudad de Málaga (España), en edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 16 años (M = 15.14; DT = .76). Se ha utilizado el Cuestionario Autoconcepto Forma 5 (AF5) para evaluar el autoconcepto multidimensional (académico, social, emocional, familiar y físico). Se ha medido el porcentaje de masa grasa corporal usando un instrumento de bioimpedancia eléctrica y el consumo máximo de oxígeno a través del test de Course Navette. Además, se ha estimado el tiempo en recorrer 50 metros lisos, la distancia alcanzada mediante salto horizontal y la amplitud de movimiento con la prueba flexión profunda de tronco. Los análisis de correlación y regresión lineal efectuados ponen de manifiesto la conexión entre las variables objeto de estudio, siendo el porcentaje de masa grasa y el consumo de oxígeno máximo aquellas que mejor se han relacionado con el autoconcepto. Además, las dimensiones física y emocional son las que han sido predichas con un mayor porcentaje de la varianza explicada. Palabras clave: autoconcepto; adolescencia; condición física; composición corporal.Title: Relationships of self-concept with physical fitness and body composition in a sample of adolescents. Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between selfconcept and several variables of physical fitness, as well as the body fat percentage. The participants in the study were 283 teenagers from the city of Malaga (Spain), whose age ranged between 14 and 16 years old (M = 15.14; SD = .76). The "Autoconcepto Forma 5" questionnaire (AF5) was used to evaluate the multidimensional self-concept (academic, social, emotional, physical, and family self-concept). Moreover, the body fat percentage was measured by means of a bioelectrical impedance analysis. The Course-Navette test was used to assess the maximal oxygen consumption. Other measured variables were the time to run 50 metres, the distance jumped horizontally, and the range of movement (by means of a deep trunk flexion test). The linear regression and correlation analysis highlighting that the variables which have the strongest association with selfconcept are the body fat percentage and the maximal oxygen consumption. Besides, physical and emotional dimensions are those that have been predicted with a higher percentage of explained variance. Key words: self concept; adolescence; physical fitness; body composition. IntroducciónSon numerosas las evidencias que ponen de relieve el impacto que tienen los estilos de vida activos sobre la salud, tanto a nivel físico como psicológico o social (Annesi, 2010;Goñi e Infante, 2010;Pontifex et al., 2011). Además, varios estudios señalan que los riesgos de morbimortalidad en edad adulta se relacionan con la condición física en etapas tempranas. De hecho, aunque las manifestaciones clínicas de diversas enfermedades puedan presentarse pos...

Exercise Effects on Depressive Symptoms and Self-Worth in Overweight Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: This study shows dose-response benefits of exercise on depressive symptoms and self-worth in children. However, Blacks did not show increased GSW in response to the intervention. Results provide some support for mediation of the effect of exercise on depressive symptoms via self-worth.
