GARCIA CANTO, Elíseo; ROSA GUILLAMON, Andrés  y  NIETO LOPEZ, Laura. Relationship between overall physical condition, motor coordination and perceived quality of life in Spanish adolescents. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.1, pp.96-106.  Epub 20-Jun-2021. ISSN 0123-9155.  https://doi.org/10.14718/acp.2021.24.1.9.

Today's society poses the need to incorporate into education those capacities related to the body and its motor activity within the margins of health, since these are determining factors for the integral development of the person. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between overall physical condition (PC), motor coordination (MC) and perceived quality of life (PQL) in Spanish adolescents. For this purpose, a cross-sectional descriptive study was designed involving 1037 adolescents aged between 14 to 16 years. The SF-36 Health Questionnaire was used to assess the PQL, and the Health-related Physical Condition Battery, to evaluate global PC and MC. The results show that participants with higher PC had higher average values in the variables physical function (p < .001), physical role (p < .001), vitality (p < .05), social function (p < .001), emotional role (p < .01), mental health (p < .001), and total quality of life (p < .001); while those with lower PC had higher scores in body pain (p < .001). Likewise, participants who showed higher MC obtained better records in general health, vitality, social function, and total quality of life (p < .001 in all cases), and lower records in physical function and physical role (p < .001 in both cases). The results of this study suggest that having a higher PC, as well as a higher MC, maybe predictive variables of a better PQL in Spanish adolescents.

Palabras clave : global physical condition; motor coordination; perceived quality of life.
