Resumen
El propósito del presente estudio fue analizar la relación entre la Actividad Física, la Autoeficacia
para el Ejercicio Físico y el Estrés Percibido en un grupo de jóvenes universitarios. La muestra
estuvo compuesta por 137 estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima, de ambos sexos y de
edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 30 años (M = 21.58 años; DE = 2.41) y que se encontraban
cursando sus estudios de pregrado. Se utilizaron tres cuestionarios, la versión traducida al español
del Cuestionario Mundial sobre Actividad Física (GPAQ) (OMS, 2017); el Cuestionario de
Autoeficacia para regular el Ejercicio (SERES) en su versión traducida y validada al español de
Fuentes y González (2020) y la versión traducida y validada al español de la Escala de Estrés
Percibido (EEP) (Remor & Carrobles, 2001). Se encontró que el 65% de los participantes realizan
actividad física en niveles que recomienda la OMS. Además, se halló que la actividad física y la
autoeficacia para el ejercicio se correlacionaron directamente; sin embargo, no se halló asociación
con el estrés percibido. Asimismo, se encontró una relación directa entre la autoeficacia para el
ejercicio y el estrés percibido. Por último, se encontraron diferencias en función del sexo en cuanto
al estrés percibido y la actividad física. Se discuten las limitaciones del estudio, se examinan las
posibles explicaciones de los resultados y se brindan sugerencias para investigaciones futuras.
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between Physical Activity, SelfEfficacy for Physical Exercise and Perceived Stress in a group of young university students. The sample comprised 137 students studying at a private university in Lima, spanning both genders and ages between 18 and 30 years (M = 21.58 years; SD = 2.41). Three questionnaires were used, the Spanish translated version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) (WHO, 2017); the Self-Efficacy to Regulate Exercise Questionnaire (SERES) in its Spanish translated and validated version by Fuentes and Gonzalez (2020) and the Spanish translated and validated version of the Perceived Stress Scale (EEP) (Remor & Carrobles, 2001). It was found that 65% of the participants perform physical activity at levels recommended by the WHO. In addition, physical activity and self-efficacy for exercise were found to be directly correlated; however, no association with perceived stress was found. In addition, a direct relationship was found between self-efficacy for exercise and perceived stress. Finally, sex differences in perceived stress and physical activity were found. Limitations of the study are discussed, possible explanations for the results are examined, and suggestions for future research are provided.
