Abstract

The physical self-concept has shown its relation with different factors such as lifestyle, certain risk behaviors, and even with the development of eating disorders. Its relevance and contribution to general self-perception has led to investigation of the possibility of improving it. Traditional interventions based on exercise programs and physical activity tend to be effective, however its dissemination and distribution is limited. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new intervention program implemented on physical self-concept from a cognitive perspective. Its features allow an individual self-application limited to six weeks. The participants’ results (169 undergraduates, 22.5% male, 77.5% female, mean age 21.40 years in the experimental group, SD = 5.49, and 21.03 years of mean age in the control group, SD = 4.50) show statistically significant improvements in the scales of physical condition, general physical self-concept and general self-concept at the end of the application. The magnitude of those improvements is significant but low. These improvements are not reflected when the xperimental group scores are compared to those of the control group. The possible reasons for those results are discussed, taking into account future designs to enhance the effectiveness of such interventions.
