Age-Group differences in perception of competence, goal orientatiom attitudes, and practice of pshysical activity of girls who attend military schools

[EN]This study analysed the differences in self-perception, goal orientation and participation in physical activity (PA) in girls (N= 244) attending military schools. Girls had moderately higher levels of perceived competence, and there were no significant differences between age-groups. The figure for task-orientation was higher than ego-orientation. Girls expressed a positive attitude toward school and PE. Most girls did not practiced PA outside school, but 63,9% were involved in school sports. It seems that the military educational institutions are being successful in helping students to adopt physically active lifestyles. The development of perception of competence, task-orientation, and favourable attitudes seem to be important factors to enhance the levels of PA among students.

Influencia de los agentes directos e indirectos en la participación físico-deportiva extraescolar del alumnado de la ESO

[ES]El presente estudio pretende conocer cómo influye el contexto inmediato de los adolescentes de la ESO en su motivación hacia la participación en una actividad físico-deportiva en su tiempo libre. Para ello, se ha seleccionado una muestra homogénea para los diferentes géneros en la que participan dos grupos por nivel educativo de la ESO. Para obtener los resultados se diseñó un cuestionario aportando como resultado referencial que la mayor influencia sobre los adolescentes se debe a la existencia de entornos cercanos de práctica y al disfrute por su desarrollo, apreciándose pequeñas diferencias en las influencias si se divide a la muestra por edad o género.
