ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare and correlate lifestyles and self-esteem between calisthenics practitioners with other disciplines and/or urban sports and their differences by sex in adults during the COVID 19 pandemic in Chile. The sample was made up of 157 participants (men: 107 and women: 50), who self-reported lifestyle through the “Fantastic questionnaire” and self-esteem through the “Rosenberg scale” in the initial phase of deconfinement in Chile. The results of the scores for lifestyle were (88.06 ± 12.42) and self-esteem (30.95 ± 5.35) for the total sample. Positive correlations (p= < 0.05) were obtained between the dimensions and scores of the “Fantastic” questionnaire and the “Rosenberg” scale in practitioners of calisthenics and other disciplines and/or urban sports and in their analysis by sex, with no significant differences between them. A better lifestyle is related to higher levels of self-esteem in practitioners of calisthenics and other disciplines and/or urban sports, this relationship is more noticeable in women than in men, and the practice of these alternative disciplines is suggested for the promotion of styles of healthy life and reinforce self-esteem in adults. © 2022 Didactic Asociation Andalucia.
