EnglishAbstract
Sustainability of physical activity is a topic related to self-efficacy or physical fitness as influential factors linked to physical activity behaviour. The objectives are focused on analysing what kind of cross-sectional relationships exist between physical fitness, self-efficacy and expectations of results with physical activity in a group of 88 women from the province of Cordoba with an average age of 53.85 years. The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) test battery was used to assess physical fitness; the "Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale" (SEE) was used for self-efficacy and the "Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale" (OEE) was used for outcome expectations; the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used for physical activity. The results showed that there are positive relationships between the health constructs with physical activity. In particular, there are relationships between general physical fitness and endurance and self-efficacy with physical activity. According to the results presented, assessing physical fitness could help us to know the practice in the medium and long term, as well as assessing self-efficacy could help us to know the practice in the short and medium term of a group of middle-aged adult women without limiting pathology, attached to different physical activity programmes.
Keywords: Physical activity, physical fitness, self-efficacy and outcome expectations, women, middle-aged adulthood.
