Competencia motriz percibida, Índice de Masa Corporal, Sobrepeso, Obesidad.Abstract
En esta sociedad, caracterizada por el desarrollo del conocimiento, de las tecnologías de la comunicación y de la generalización de los medios de transporte, los niveles de actividad física en la vida cotidiana han descendido. Esto ha traído un aumento del sedentarismo, trastornos relacionados con la salud y la alimentación y obesidad. Diferentes investigaciones han mostrado que tales co-morbilidades pueden derivarse del descenso del nivel de competencia motriz que se viene produciendo en los últimos años y su relación con la percepción de la misma. Ante esta situación, nos hemos propuesto determinar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal y la percepción de competencia. 366 sujetos de 13 a 16 años han participado en estudio. Se ha medido el peso (kgs y la altura (metros) de los sujetos y se les ha aplicado el cuestionario AMPET-R. Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias significativas en cuanto al índice de masa corporal y que los chicos obtienen valores más altos en Percepción de competencia motriz que las chicas. Por otro lado, se ha comprobado que el índice de masa corporal y la percepción de competencia se relacionan significativa y negativamente, tanto para los chicos como para las chicas.
Palabras clave: Competencia motriz percibida; Índice de Masa Corporal; Sobrepeso; Obesidad.
Abstract: This society, characterized by the development of knowledge, communication technologies and the generalization of transports, levels of physical activity in daily life have been declined. This has increased the sedentary lifestyle, health and nutrition related disorders and obesity. Different studies have demonstrated that this kind of co-morbidities may result from the decreased level of motor competence that has been occurring in recent years and the relation to the perception of it. At this point, we proposed to determine the relationship between body mass index and perceived motor competence. 366 subjects from 13 to 16 years have participated in this study. The weight (kg) and height (meters) of participants was measured while they were answering the AMPET-R questionnaire. The results show that there are not significant differences between different levels of body mass index and boys obtained higher values for perceived motor competence than girls. On the other hand, it has been show that body mass index and perceived motor competence are related significantly but negatively, for both girls and boys.
Key words: Perceived motor competence; body mass index; overweight; obesity.
