Abstract:

The level of physical activity and the self-concept of self-esteem are adjacent factors of the health status of the population. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to analyze the association between the association between physical activity level and adolescents’ self-concept of self-esteem. The sample consisted of 98 individuals with an average age of 16.7 ± 1.2. Two means were used: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - short version, and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. The binary logistic regression (Odds Ratio) with α of 5% was used. The theoretical evidence revolved around the contemporary approach of the definition of health; and the results were discussed according to the behavioral theory of the adolescent. There was a predominance of active adolescents (41.8%), as well as a lower proportion of sedentary ones (4.1%). 55,1% had high self-esteem, while 44,9% were found to have low self-esteem. It is concluded that there was not association (Wald F=2,756; p=0,600) between the level of physical activity and the self-concept of self-esteem. Finally, the behavioral elements of the adolescent that point locus to future interventions related to the subject with this public were discussed.
