Introduction: The increasing prevalence of mental health disorders has elicited significant concern within society, particularly among adolescents who are disproportionately affected by this concerning trend. Consequently, institutions are seeking efficacious and cost-effective interventions to address this situation, while the scientific community has identified physical activity as a potential means to mitigate this epidemic. Motor self-efficacy and physical self-concept have been demonstrated to confer benefits to the mental health of young individuals, comparable to those of physical fitness. These aspects not only influence physical health but also the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals, contributing to a better overall quality of life. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the moderating role of self-perceived physical fitness in motor self-efficacy and physical self-concept, in high school physical education students. Methods: To this end, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was applied to identify the non-normality of the data and the Mann–Whitney U test to determine the differences by sex in the variables studied to subsequently perform a moderation analysis and a regression test for the physical self-concept prediction model. Results: The results showed that self-perceived physical fitness positively moderated the relationship motor self-efficacy and physical self-concept, enhancing the positive effect size of self-efficacy on physical self-concept. Conclusion: Thus, self-perceived physical fitness could be important in interventions aimed at improving physical and emotional well-being and health of adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in bullying rates in school. Bullying is characterized as a repeated set of malicious actions by an individual or group toward another individual in an imbalanced power dynamic, resulting in physical, psychological, social, or material harm to the victim, with the intention of causing social exclusion. The scientific literature has investigated the factors that influence this type of behavior, environmental factors, such as school location and student age, as well as other factors, such as gender and level of physical fitness, also play an important role. This study examined the correlation between motor self-efficacy and bullying, considering that physical activity acts as a regulator in these cases. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was employed to assess the normality of the data distribution, and Spearman's Rho test was used to analyze the relationship between each dimension of the EBIPQ and E-AEM scores. The Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate the reliability of each instrument. The results indicated a significant inverse correlation between the EBIP-Q and E-AEM in the variables of sex, educational stage and school environment. In conclusion, an inverse correlation was observed betweenmotor self-efficacy and bullying, indicating that higher levels of motor self-efficacy are related to lower levels of bullying victimization. Motor self-efficacy could be used as a tool to reduce bullying situations at school. It would be important for government policies to encourage the practice of physical activity in all areas of life in order to improve motor self-efficacy and end bullying. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The global rise in sedentary lifestyles and deteriorating mental health among youth presents a significant concern. Sport motivation in young individuals is recognized as a catalyst for fostering a positive attitude towards regular physical activity and sports participation. However, anxiety contributes to a lack of motivation for engaging in these activities. Life satisfaction, a component of subjective well-being, in the context of sports, has the potential to enhance an individual's quality of life by offering a stabilizing activity that promotes achievement, success, and happiness. The primary objective of this study was to analyse the overall life satisfaction of young soccer players and to understand its impact on their emotional well-being and sporting performance, considering the motivational factors and anxiety that influence them. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 495 young soccer players from Spain, aged 11 to 18 years. The sample comprised 285 boys and 210 girls, with a mean age of 15 years. Significant differences were observed across all items of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) based on gender (with higher scores in boys) and academic cycle (with higher scores in the first cycle). On the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), gender differences were noted in Trait Anxiety, which was higher in females. Additionally, significant differences were found in both State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety when considering the academic cycle, with second-cycle students exhibiting lower levels of anxiety. Regarding the dimensions of the Sport Motivation Scale/Emotional Measures of Development (SMS/EMD), significant differences were identified in intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation based on gender, with boys scoring higher than girls. In terms of demographic location, only intrinsic motivation for experiencing stimuli was higher in urban settings, while amotivation was more prevalent in rural areas. Cycle differences were observed solely in the intrinsic motivation dimension, favouring second-cycle students. Furthermore, an inverse correlation was noted between anxiety and amotivation, indicating that as anxiety and amotivation increase, life satisfaction tends to decrease. This research provides valuable insights into how anxiety and motivation influence the lives of young athletes. The findings indicate that increased demotivation and anxiety are associated with decreased life satisfaction among the subjects studied. This information can be instrumental for coaches and the broader environment of young athletes, enabling them to address these aspects effectively. By fostering a better understanding of the impact of anxiety and motivation, stakeholders can enhance athletes' mental health and ensure sustained adherence to sports, thereby promoting a high level of life satisfaction.
