El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido comprobar si la práctica de ejercicio físico mejora la imagen corporal de los estudiantes de los grados de magisterio y si existen diferencias por edad, sexo o especialidad. Se ha aplicado el Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) on-line, que evalúa la insatisfacción corporal y la preocupación por el peso, a 70 universitarios, estudiantes de Educación Infantil y de Educación Primaria de una universidad andaluza. Las variables demográficas utilizadas han sido las horas semanales de actividad física voluntaria, edad, sexo y especialidad cursada. La consistencia interna del cuestionario ha dado resultados muy satisfactorios. Las pruebas de normalidad y la homoceasticidad indicaron que la naturaleza de los datos era no paramétrica. Los resultados obtenidos al realizar la prueba U de Mann-Whitney y la correlación de Spearman demuestran que los estudiantes universitarios que practican ejercicio físico tienen mejor percepción de la imagen corporal que los que no lo practican; los varones tienen mejor percepción de la imagen corporal que las mujeres y dedican más horas semanales a la práctica deportiva; y los estudiantes de primaria tiene mejor percepción de la imagen corporal que los de infantil y además dedican más horas semanales a practicar ejercicio físico.
Abastrac. The aim of this study was to determine whether physical exercise improves the body image of Spanish undergraduate student teachers and whether there are differences by age, gender or specialty. The online version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), which assesses body dissatisfaction and concern with weight, was applied to a sample of 70 university students specialising in pre-school and elementary teaching at an Andalusian university The demographic variables used were weekly hours of voluntary physical activity, age, sex and area of concentration. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was very satisfactory. Testing for normality and homoscedasticity indicated that the data was not parametric. The results obtained by performing the Mann-Whitney U test and the Spearman correlation test show that university students who do physical exercise have a better perception of their body image than those who do not exercise:; males have a better perception of their body image than females and spend more hours per week doing sports, and elementary education students have better perception of their body image than pre-school education students and also spend more hours per week doing physical exercise.
