| Popis: | The objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance of physical or extracurricular sports activities and their frequency in Chilean students, and if performing these activities may introduce differences in the various dimensions of physical self-concept . 761 students were involved (college, high school and elementary school), boys and girls, aged between 12 and 34 years, from various cities in the region of Biobío (Chile). Using the Questionnaire Physical Self-concept (CAF), the practice of physical and sports activities were evaluated as well as the frequency of the same and the dimensions of physical self-concept. Frequency analysis and comparison of means for independent samples were performed. The results show that 21.4% of participants did not perform physical and sports activities outside school hours, only 13% made such activities more than five days a week and those who carry out these extracurricular activities have higher scores in all variables with the CAF than those who do not perform. The differences are statistically significant. The results obtained indicate that performing physical activities and extracurricular sports make differences in physical self-concept and its dimensions. Some improvement proposal are done in order to be considerated in future works. |
