Abstract

 

This study is intended to clarify differences in physical self-concept

 

among high-performance football young players and students of the

same age. Participating in the study 216 people (114 players, high-performance

112 students who have no status as elite players,) between 14 and 23

years; the players are divided, in turn, 59 junior and 55 senior, corresponding

to the 14 age group to 17 and 18 to 23 years. For the measurement

of self-concept questionnaire was used physical self (CAF), Goñi, Ruiz de

Azua and Rodriguez (2006), composed of the following scales: physical 

ability, physical condition, physical attractiveness, physical strength and

general physical self-concept as general self-concept. The results show that

the group of elite players gets higher scores, statistically significant, than

the group of non-elite players in five of the six dimensions of physical selfconcept:

skill, fitness, attractiveness, strength and self general physical selfconcept

but not in general, however, there are not differences between elite

novel players and elite veteran players
