“…The self-based activity of challenging nature seemingly affects the psychological aspects of a swimmer (Tavakolizadeh et al, 2012). This effect has been observed in mountaineering as well (Bahaeloo-Horeh & Assari, 2008). Whereas running is composed of more complex motor patterns, swimming requires the individual to acclimate to the water environment.…”

“…The questionnaire consists of 10 questions; the higher the score obtained, the higher the self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1986). The RSES exhibits good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, as well as convergent and discriminant validity (Bahaeloo-Horeh & Assari, 2008).…”

“…Academic, sport, and psychotherapeutic settings aim to develop positive self-esteem in every individual (Bahaeloo-Horeh & Assari, 2008). Various achievement behaviours are influenced by high self-esteem (Marsh & Hattie, 1996), which is associated with an enhanced well-being (Brook & Heim, 1991;Paradise & Kernis, 2002).…”

“…Studies indicate a positive relationship between general exercise and self-esteem (Bahaeloo-Horeh & Assari, 2008;Keikha & Siadat). The association between different sports and self-concept should be assessed separately because the type of sport moderates the effect of exercise on self-esteem (Spence, McGannon & Poon, 2005).…”

This study aims to determine changes in the self-esteem levels of female college students in relation to their swimming skills. The results of the study were obtained from of 141 female college students enrolled at the University of Kebangsaan Malaysia. Breaststroke was used in order to evaluate their swimming skills, whereas the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) questionnaire was used to evaluate their self-esteem levels for experimental and control groups. The analysis and observations confirmed the correlation between the level of self-esteem experienced in the water and swimming skills. The results showed that learning how to swim increases the self-esteem among female college students. We suggest that taking up this activity might have benefits for students with low levels of self-esteem.

Background Due to their impact on premature mortality and long-term disabilities, a better understanding of health risk behavior (HRB) determinants among college students is crucial in order to build the most appropriate prevention tools. Although selfesteem appears to be a relevant candidate, a clear picture summarizing its multiple links with HRB is lacking to guide clinicians and researchers. This study aims to provide a systematic review of the associations between health risk behavior and self-esteem among college students. Methods This search was performed in several databases on 02/02/17. Study eligibility criteria were original articles in peerreviewed journals, in English; observational quantitative studies; among college students; and investigated the association between self-esteem and HRB. The PRISMA statements were complied with. Results One hundred fifteen articles were included: 46 on substance use, 35 on sexual behavior, 11 on nutritional habits, 27 on physical activity, and 5 on other HRB. Most studies reported an association between higher self-esteem and healthier behavior. For alcohol consumption and number of sexual partners, both negative and positive associations have been reported. Directionality was investigated in a few studies suggesting potential bidirectional effects. Conclusions This review points out the need for consensus for the definition of self-esteem and HRB. There was high heterogeneity in (1) the measurement of self-esteem either in the concept measured (global vs. domain) or in the way to implement validated tools; and (2) the definition of HRB. Self-esteem seems to be a relevant target to intervene on HRB, especially alcohol abuse and physical activity. Trial Registration Registration number: PROSPERO (ID = CRD42017056599).
