Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention program based on recreational physical activity in improving the level of self-confidence among a sample of school-attending students suffering from obesity.This was done with the objective of enhancing their self-confidence and facilitating their integration within the context of regular physical education classes.To test this hypothesis, the study employed the experimental method using a one-group design.The sample consisted (n = 87) male and female students aged between 15 and 18 years, who were purposively selected based on the obesity criterion.Data were collected using a self-esteem scale developed by the researchers.Statistical analyses showed a positive and statistically significant effect of recreational physical activity on the level of self-esteem among participants, which positively influenced their willingness to integrate and participate in organized physical activities within the school environment.
