Abstract
Outdoor adventure activities and self-esteem in adolescent students The development of sport and physical activity programs may improve psychological well-being and reduce risk factors of several health problems. Self-esteem has shown to have a strong position in the explanation of human behaviour. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an Outdoor Adventure Activities Program on the self-esteem and physical self-perceptions of Portuguese school adolescents (n=38). A translated version of the Physical Self-Perception Profile for Children and Youth (PSPP-CY) was used to assess self-esteem and physical selfperceptions. The main conclusions of this study showed that participants in general reported higher values on their self-esteem and physical self-perceptions after the program. Further experimental programs are required to confirm the results of this study.
