Abstract
Does the Exercise and Self-Esteem Model Work on Wheelchair Basketball Players?
Highlights
Among all the theories present in the literature that aimed to explain the models behind self-esteem improvement due to physical activity, it seems that the exercise and self-esteem model (EXSEM), developed by Sonstroem and Morgan (1989), has been the most acceptable model among researchers either in its original or adapted forms (Fox & Wison, 2008)
We found that participants from the current study had relatively high exercise self-efficacy (Mean=7.67±2.263 out of 10), physical self-worth (Mean=4.41±.953 out of 6), and global self-esteem (Mean=3.13±.816 out of 4) (Table 1)
(Table 2), exercise self-efficacy is significantly related to physical self-worth but not to global self-esteem
Summary
Among all the theories present in the literature that aimed to explain the models behind self-esteem improvement due to physical activity, it seems that the exercise and self-esteem model (EXSEM), developed by Sonstroem and Morgan (1989), has been the most acceptable model among researchers either in its original or adapted forms (Fox & Wison, 2008). This model suggests that exercise engagement enhances exercise self-efficacy, which leads to better physical self-worth. Global self-esteem, is an overall statement of the degree to which an individual perceives himself or herself to be an “OK person”, dependent on whatever criteria that individual uses to determine the meaning of “OK” (Fox, 1997)
