Abstract des Autors
The aim of this study was to explore the role of body image concern in the relationship between physical activity and physical self-concept. A total of 441 Spanish adolescent college females aged 12 to 17 completed the Physical Self-Con- cept Questionnaire (CAF), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Gardner s Scale for the Assessment of Body Image. Data on body mass index (BMI) and par- ticipation in physical activity were also collected. The results showed a positive rela- tionship between physical activity and physical self-concept with all its subdimen- sions, as well as general self-concept. This relationship was notably higher in the absence of body image concern. However, no relationship was found between exer- cise and the subdimension of body attractiveness in the case of adolescents who were dissatisfied with their bodies. This emphasizes the importance of a healthy body image in shaping an adolescent female’s self-concept.
