| Abstract. | The present research aimed to evaluate the self-esteem of physically active female students and sedentary female students. By doing this, I aim to establish to what extent physical exercise contributes to improving self-esteem and the degree of satisfaction with one's own person. This research is part of a wider experiment from where I chose 80 students. They are aged between 18-23 years and are students at the Faculty of Economics and Public Administration. 40 of them engage in intense or moderate physical activity more than 3 times a week, and 40 never engage in physical activity or engage less than 1-3 times a month (the data resulted from the application of a Eurobarometer that investigated the level of engagement in physical activity). I started from the hypothesis that physical exercise influences positively perception of one's own person, namely self-esteem of young women who exercise is an increased one. At the same time, sedentary people have a feeling of dissatisfaction, and the degree of self-esteem is low. The survey method was carried out by applying the Rosenberg questionnaire which assessed self-esteem, the global sense of personal value and self-acceptance. |
