- Abstract
Physical self-concept plays a central role in adolescence. In this phase, individuals experience significant physical, mental, and emotional changes that are connected to their physical activities. The purpose of the study was to examine differences of all physical self-concept components of university students based on their physical activity levels. The study involved 322 college students (92 male students, 230 female students) of a University in Indonesia. Physical self-concept was assessed by using the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ). To measure physical activity, the Short Version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. The data were analyzed by using one way ANOVA. The results show that there are significant differences in three physical self-concept components, including physically active component, sports competence component, and endurance component. The findings also found that the students with higher physical activity level got higher scores in those three components. While there are no significant differences in health, coordination, body fat, appearance, global physical, strength, flexibility, and global self-esteem components.
