Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue conocer cómo influye la práctica de
actividad física en la autoestima y en el nivel de riesgo dependencia de las
personas mayores, diferenciándose entre el grupo control (sedentarios) y
grupo experimental (activos). Participaron 168 personas mayores de 65
años, de las cuales 84 personas fueron catalogadas como activas y las 84
restantes fueron completamente sedentarias. Para analizar la autoestima se
ha utilizado la Escala de Autoestima Personal de Rosenberg y para evaluar
el riesgo de dependencia se utilizó el test de Barber. La autoestima positiva
es más elevada en las personas activas (GE: 3.25±.45 vs. GC: 3.14±.47) y la
negativa superior en el grupo de sedentarios (GC: 2.23±.48 vs. GE:
2.20±.52). Existen diferencias significativas (p ≤ .001) entre los sujetos del
GC (2.93±1.67) y los del GE (1.65±1.03), evidenciando estos últimos un
menor riesgo de dependencia. Se encontró una positiva entre la práctica de
actividad física y la autoestima positiva (r =.244; p ≤ .01), así como entre la
práctica de actividad física y el índice Barber (r = -.425; p ≤ .001). En con-
clusión, se debe fomentar la práctica regular de actividad física para mejorar
el nivel de autoestima y minimizar el riesgo de dependencia en personas
mayores.
The objective of the study was to know how the practice of physical activity influences self-esteem and the level of risk dependence in old age, differentiating between the control group (sedentary) and experi- mental group (active). Participants were 168 people over 65 years of age, 84 of whom were classified as active and the remaining 84 were completely sedentary. To analyze self-esteem, Rosenberg’s Personal Self-Esteem Scale was used whereas Barber's helped to assess the risk of dependence. Posi- tive self-esteem is higher in the active (GE: 3.25 ± .45 vs. GC: 3.14 ± .47) but negative in the sedentary group (GC: 2.23 ± .48 vs. GE: 2.20 ± .52). There were significant differences (p ≤ .001) between the subjects of the CG (2.93 ± 1.67) and those of the EG (1.65 ± 1.03), with the latter show- ing a lower risk of dependence. There was a positive association between physical activity and positive self-esteem (r = .244; p ≤ .01), as well as be- tween physical activity and the Barber index (r = -.425; p ≤ .001). In con- clusion, regular physical activity should be encouraged to improve the level of self-esteem and minimize the risk of dependence on older people.
