Relationship of ACTN3 R577X gene to flexibility and range of motion: Implications in sports injuries
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Arroyo Moya, Wilson
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the physical activity levels and physical self-concept in a sample of adolescents (N = 97) who were studying Physical Activity and Sports-related studies. For this purpose, they were administered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – short version (IPAQ - SF) and the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire (CAF). The results allow us to affirm that the students of training cycles related to sport were more physically active than the recommendations suggested by the WHO (91,8% high level of PA). Furthermore, it was found a direct relationship between the practice of physical activity and physical self-concept and its dimensions, except for physical attractiveness (HF: rho = 0,24; p = 0,017 < 0,05; CF: rho = 0,43; p = 0,000 < 0,01; F: rho = 0,35; p = 0,001 < 0,01; AG: rho = 0,28; p = 0,006 < 0,01), and that higher intensity physical activity is related to a better general physical self-concept (diff mean = 4,23; p < 0,01) and greater physical fitness (diff mean = 3,78; p < 0,05) and strength (diff mean = 3,81; p = 0,056). Therefore, physical activity seems to be a positive value for physical self-concept.
