The bright side of sports: a systematic review on well-being, positive emotions and performance.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review regarding the relationship between positive psychological factors, such as psychological well-being and pleasant emotions, and sports performance. METHOD: This study, carried out through a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines considering the Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed and SPORT Discus databases, seeks to highlight the relationship between other more 'positive' factors, such as well-being, positive emotions and sports performance. SETTINGS: The keywords will be decided by a Delphi Method in two rounds with sport psychology experts. PARTICIPANTS: There are no participants in the present research. ASSESSMENT: The main exclusion criteria were: Non-sport thema, sample younger or older than 20-65 years old, qualitative or other methodology studies, COVID-related, journals not exclusively about Psychology. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: We obtained a first sample of 238 papers, and finally, this sample was reduced to the final sample of 11 papers. RESULTS: The results obtained are intended to be a representation of the 'bright side' of sports practice, and as a complement or mediator of the negative variables that have an impact on athletes' and coaches' performance. CONCLUSIONS: Clear recognition that acting on intrinsic motivation continues to be the best and most effective way to motivate oneself to obtain the highest levels of performance, a good perception of competence and a source of personal satisfaction.

El autoconcepto físico y su relación con la práctica deportiva en estudiantes adolescentes / Relationship in adolescents between physical self-concept and participating in sport

En este trabajo se estudió la relación entre la práctica deportiva regular y el autoconcepto físico. Participaron 400 adolescentes españoles entre 12 y 17 años, a los que se les administró el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Físico (CAF) y el Cuestionario sobre Intensidad de la Motivación hacia el Deporte. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el análisis de las puntuaciones medias y de las varianzas para las distintas escalas del cuestionario. Los resultados mostraron que los adolescentes que practicaban habitualmente algún deporte (al menos una vez por semana) tenían percepciones superiores de su autoconcepto, tanto general como físico, en comparación con quienes no eran practicantes habituales. Los practicantes presentaron puntuaciones más altas en todas las escalas del CAF. Además, también se encontró que la frecuencia con la que se practicaba el deporte, la duración de la práctica, los años de dedicación, la satisfacción y el gusto por la práctica deportiva se relacionaba positivamente con el autoconcepto físico y general. Estas relaciones positivas se manifestaron en todas las subescalas del CAF, aunque de manera más acentuada en las escalas de Habilidad Deportiva y Condición Física (AU)

This study analyses the relationship between regular participation in sport and physical self-concept. The Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire (Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Físico – CAF) and the Intensity of Sport Motivation Questionnaire were administered to 400 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. The data were analysed through an analysis of the average scores and variances on the different scales of the questionnaire. The results show that the adolescents who participate in sport on a regular basis (at least once a week) had higher perceptions of their self-concept, both general and physical, compared with those who do not usually participate in sport. The adolescents who participate in sport on a regular basis scored higher on all the CAF scales. Moreover, frequency of participation, length of training sessions, years of play, satisfaction and pleasure in playing sport are positively related to general and physical self-concept. These positive relations occurred in all the CAF scales, although differences were more significant on the Sport Performance and Physical Condition scales (AU)
