Las pruebas estadísticas fueron: T-student, U de Mann-Whitney y Krustal-Wallis. Aquellos físicamente activos tuvieron mejores registros en las dimensiones conductual, intelectual, falta de ansiedad y global.

Aquellos físicamente activos y con mayor condición física tuvieron un mejor autoconcepto intelectual (<em>p</em> = .007), social (<em>p</em> = .010) y global (<em>p</em> = .010). Ser físicamente activo y tener un mayor nivel de condición física podría predecir un autoconcepto más positivo en escolares de la Región de Murcia.</p><p><br /><strong>Abstract. </strong>This article analized<strong> </strong>the relationship between physical activity, physical condition and self-concept. A total of 103 schoolchildren (8-12 years old) participated in the assessment of these variables. Physical fitness was assessed through various tests from the ALPHA-Fitness Battery, level of physical activity was calculated through the PACE questionnaire, and self-concept was measured using the Piers-Harris Self-concept Scale. T-student, Mann-Whitney U, and Krustal-Wallis were employed for statistical analysis. Those who were physically active had better values in behavioral and intellectual domains of self-concept, as well as in lack of anxiety, and global self-concept. Those with greater physical fitness showed a better physical (p = .013), social (<em>p</em> = .003) and global (<em>p</em> = .085) self-concept. Those physically active with greater physical fitness had a better intellectual (<em>p</em> = .007), social (<em>p</em> = .010) and global (<em>p</em> = .010) self-concept. Being physically active and having a higher level of fitness could predict a more positive self-concept in schoolchildren of Murcia (Spain).</p>}, journal={Retos}, author={Rosa Guillamón, Andres and Garcia Canto, Eliseo and Carrillo López, Pedro Jose}, year={2019}, month={ene.}, pages={236–241} }
