“…These programs should be structured more on psychological factors, such as improving self-control, pride about one's own body or the feeling of competence, than on physiological parameters like the intensity of exercise (Lindwall & Lindgren, 2005). The studies also stress the need for understanding motivational processes related to exercise so that social physique anxiety could be reduced (Sicilia, Sáenz-Alvarez, González-Cutre, & Ferriz, 2014). Furthermore, some studies highlight the importance of physical conditions in which exercise takes place so that the reduction of the social physique anxiety would have better effects (Focht & Hausenblas, 2006).…”

The goal of this study was to explore the predictive validity of physical self-efficacy, social physique anxiety, and physical activity in the self-esteem of students, as well as to investigate potential gender differences. The Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Physical Self-Efficacy Scale (PSES), Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS), and a short questionnaire about physical activity were administered to a sample of 232 university students. The overall results show that students are moderately physically active (on the average, 2.75 times per week), have moderately high selfesteem and physical self-efficacy and lower social physique anxiety. No gender differences were detected in self-esteem. In other variables, gender differences are significant and mostly in favour of males. The analyses showed that self-esteem correlated positively with physical self-efficacy and physical activity, and negatively with social physique anxiety. The regression analyses indicated that physical selfefficacy, social physique anxiety and female gender were significant predictors of self-esteem. Physical activity was not a significant predictor of self-esteem. Future studies should investigate the relations of body self-perceptions, physical exercise, and domain-specific self-esteem.

“…While social physique anxiety can affect all the individuals who give priority to physique, it has largely been associated with exercise groups Hurst, Hale, Smith & Colins, 2000), exercise motivation (Sicilia, Alvarez, Cutre & Ferriz, 2014) and the trait anxiety states of athletes (Martin & Mack, 1996) in sports competitions and has been addressed thus. Sport is a condition which also includes competition and it causes athletes to experience pressure.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the explanatory effect of self-compassion on social physique anxiety in athletes. The study was conducted with the participation of a total of 462 athletes, 145 female and 317 male, who were studying at Yaşar Doğu Faculty of Sport Sciences. Self-compassion Scale and Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) were used in the study. Independent sample t-test analysis showed that average scores of athletes for physical appearance comfort (PAC) t(250)=.158, p>0,5) and expectations of negative evaluation (ENE), t(262)=.649, p>0,5 did not show a significant difference in terms of gender. According to the results of Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis, negative significant association was found between PAC subscale of social physique anxiety and self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness dimensions of self-compassion while a positive significant association was found between selfjudgment, isolation and over identification. Negative significant association was found between ENE subscale of social physique anxiety and self-kindness and mindfulness dimensions of selfcompassion while a positive significant association was found between self-judgment, common humanity, isolation and over identification. Multiple regression analysis results presented the high level explanatory effect of self-compassion levels and the PAC of social physique anxiety , R=0. 60, R²=0.36, p˂.01. Similarly, explanatory effect of ENE area of social physique anxiety, R=0.38, R²=0.15, p˂.01 was also presented.

“…Por otra parte, es interesante reorientar al joven hacia aquellas actividades para las que muestre una motivación evolutiva más afín (Martín-Albo & Núñez-Alonso, 2003), lo que sin duda redundará en una mayor adherencia hacia el programa. • Una motivación que permita a los adolescentes cambiar ciertas ideas preconcebidas, compensar desequilibrios, discriminaciones y sesgos que algunas prácticas deportivas tienen en nuestro contexto sociocultural (González-Cutre, Sicilia & Fernández, 2010;Sicilia et al, 2014). Desde este enfoque, no es raro ver adolescentes que rechazan actividades por pensar que no se ajustan a sus características de sexo, edad, competencia motriz, nivel de habilidad, características corporales, etc., por lo que se hace imprescindible dotar al joven de un alto nivel de autoestima que le permita afrontar con éxito el programa de ejercicio físico que desea realizar.…”

“…On the other hand, it is interesting to guide the youth towards activities for which they show a greater affinity-based motivation (Martín-Albo & Núñez-Alonso, 2003), which will unquestionably lead to greater adherence with the program. • A motivation that allows adolescents to change certain preconceived ideas and offset the imbalances, discriminations and biases of some sport practices in our sociocultural milieu (González-Cutre, Sicilia & Fernández, 2010;Sicilia et al, 2014). From this approach, it is not rare to see adolescents who reject activities because they think that they do not match their sex, age, motor competence, body features, etc.…”

ResumenEn la actualidad, la sociedad se enfrenta a numerosos problemas de salud (incremento en la prevalencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares, obesidad, depresión, estrés, ansiedad), que exigen la adopción de una serie de medidas encaminadas a aumentar el bienestar. A este respecto, está ampliamente demostrado que la práctica regular y sistemática de ejercicio físico provoca una serie de adaptaciones fisiológicas, morfológicas y funcionales que mejoran la salud psicobiológica de las personas. Los ámbitos educativo y extraescolar deben asumir parte de responsabilidad en la tarea de posibilitar el acceso a una mejor calidad de vida de los jóvenes adolescentes, cuyo estilo de vida es predominantemente sedentario, fomentando la creación de hábitos de vida activos y la adherencia a la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva. En este artículo se lleva a cabo una revisión exhaustiva de las estrategias a tener en cuenta entre docentes y responsables del deporte escolar para favorecer un clima de trabajo y esfuerzo que permita a los adolescentes aumentar su propia percepción de competencia y autoeficacia y, por tanto, se instituya el ejercicio físico como parte de la vida diaria de las personas.Palabras clave: clima motivacional, teoría de metas de logro, orientación a la tarea, orientación al ego, autoeficacia Introducción La sociedad actual se enfrenta a graves problemas de salud, entre los que destacan el riesgo de sufrir enfermedades cardiovasculares, hipertensión arterial, obesidad, problemas respiratorios y digestivos, y alteraciones psicológicas como estrés, depresión y ansiedad. Muchos de estos problemas están asociados con conductas en las que predomina un estilo sedentario y una alimentación poco saludable.Castillo (2007) considera que el ejercicio físico realizado de forma adecuada es una de las mejores -si no la AbstractNowadays, society is dealing with numerous health problems (increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression, stress, anxiety) which advise the adoption of a series of measures aimed at increasing wellbeing. In this regard, it has been amply proven that engaging in regular, systematic physical exercise leads to a series of physiological, morphological and functional adaptations which improve people's psychobiological health. The fields of education and extracurricular activities should accept part of the responsibility for the job of making access to a better quality of life possible for young adolescents, whose lifestyle is predominantly sedentary, by fostering the creation of active living habits and the adherence to the practice of physical-sport activity. This article undertakes an exhaustive survey of the strategies that educators and people in charge of school sports should bear in mind to foster a working climate and effort that allows adolescents to increase the perception of their own competence and self-efficacy and therefore to make physical exercise a part of their daily lives.
