dc.description.abstract | The Exercise and Self-Esteem Model (EXSEM) is used as a theoretical framework to describe
associations between physical activity and global self-esteem, mediated by perceived physical
appearance. Little is known about these associations in elementary school children. We
therefore examined associations between physical activity, global self-esteem and perceived
physical appearance in children from grade 4 to grade 8. We also investigated if these
associations were different for boys and girls, and for children with a normal weight and
children with overweight. The current study is a cross sequential study. Physical activity was
measured with a self-developed questionnaire based on the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire
(MAQ), while global self-esteem and perceived physical appearance were measured with the
Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) (n = 147; 77 boys). Associations were
investigated with the Spearmen Test. Differences in associations were investigated with the
Fisher Test. There was a significant association between physical activity, global self-esteem
and perceived physical appearance. No sex differences were found for global self-esteem, but
boys were more physically active and reported a higher level of perceived physical
appearance than girls. Children with a normal weight were more physically active than
children with overweight. No differences were found for global self-esteem and perceived
physical appearance. Associations were not significant different for boys and girls and
children with and without overweight. Associations were found as expected by the EXSEM. | |
