Abstract
[Resumen] La práctica de actividad física contribuye al bienestar físico y mental adquiriendo un estilo de vida saludable. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar las diferencias en la práctica de actividad física y deportiva de escolares de Educación Secundaria en función de la percepción del apoyo ejercido por los amigos como figuras de referencia. En este estudio de tipo descriptivo observacional participaron 496 escolares de educación secundaria obligatoria [212 niñas (42.74%) y 284 niños (57.26%)], con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 16 años (M = 12.76; DE = 1.90). Los datos fueron recogidos mediante el Cuestionario de influencias sobre la Actividad Física y la Salud. Respecto a la influencia de los amigos, las diferencias significativas se dan el factor género en la AS_Comunicación (p < 0,001), en IS_Ánimo (p < 0,001), en IS_Importancia (p < 0,001), en IM_Práctica_AF (p < 0,001) y en IM_Practica_Juntos (p < 0,001), con valores más altos en los chicos que en las chicas. En el factor edad, se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas a favor del alumnado de 14 años en AS_Comunicación (p = 0,035) y en IS_Ánimo (p = 0,023) respecto al de 13 años. Por los resultados obtenidos, podemos concluir que los chicos reportan mayores niveles de comunicación, ánimo, importancia atribuida, y práctica de actividad física tanto individualmente como en conjunto con sus amigos, en comparación con las chicas. Esto sugiere que los amigos juegan un papel más destacado en la promoción de la actividad física entre los chicos
[Abstract] The practice of physical activity contributes to physical and mental well-being by acquiring a healthy lifestyle. The objective of this study was to examine differences in physical activity and sport practice among high school students based on their perception of the support provided by friends as role models. In this descriptive observational study, 496 compulsory secondary school students participated [212 girls (42.74%) and 284 boys (57.26%)], aged between 12 and 16 years (M = 12.76; SD = 1.90). The data were collected through the Influences on Physical Activity and Health Questionnaire. Regarding the influence of friends, significant differences occur in the gender factor in SS_Communication (p < 0.001), SI_Encouragement (p < 0.001), SI_Importance (p < 0.001), MI_Practice_PA (p < 0.001), and MI_Practice_Together (p < 0.001), with higher values in boys than in girls. In the age factor, statistically significant differences were found in favor of 14-year-old students in SS_Communication (p = 0.035) and in SI_Encouragement (p = 0.023) compared to 13-year-old students. From the results obtained, we can conclude that boys report higher levels of communication, encouragement, attributed importance, and practice of physical activity both individually and together with their friends, compared to girls. This suggests that friends play a more prominent role in promoting physical activity among children.
