Abstract

Abstract: The aim was to analyze the relationships between smartphone use and time spent on PA, as well as the influence of an active lifestyle and the different dimensions of self-concept in university students. The sample was composed of university students from the Primary and Infant Education Degree of the University of Jaén: 253 students, 58.1% women (N=147) and 41.9% men (N=106) between the ages of 18 and 42 (M=21.39 ±3.27). This is a cross-sectional quantitative-descriptive study that uses three questionnaires (CERM, Self-Concept Form 5 "AF-5" and one of its own making) for data collection. The results showed that 44.6% of university students in Jaén dedicated less than 3 hours per week to PA practice and only 34% more than 3. With respect to the relationship between PA and self-concept, only differences were found in the emotional and physical dimensions.
