| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the relationship between physical fitness and self-concept in a group of Malaysian female university students. The relationship between self-concept and physical fitness is one that has attracted much interest in recent times. However, much of the research has been conducted using children or male subjects, and little if any has been done using women, in a Malaysian context. It seemed appropriate, therefore to look at this relationship with regard to Malaysian women. The ~ample in this study were the female students undertaking a two unit physical education course within the Education Faculty at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). -The study sought answers to the following few questions: i. What is the physical fitness of female university students completing a two unit course in physical education at USM? ii. What is their self-concept? iii. ~~at is their perceptions of their physical abilities and fitness? iv. What is the relationship between these three factors for this group of females? Three instruments were used in this study. They were the Tennessee Self- Concept Scale (TSCS) to measure total self-concept, Dr. Kenneth Coopers 1.5 mile run to determine physical fitness and Sonstroem's Physical Estimation and Attraction Scale (PEAS) to measure perceptions of physical ability and fitness. The results indicate that there is no significant relationship between self-concept and physical fitness "in this group of females. They also indicate the poor levels of physical fitness within this group. On the basis of this research, a case could be made for greater education about the benefits of being physically fit, not only to improve health but also to enhance self-concept. | en_US |
