Item DEPENDENCIA AL EJERCICIO Y AUTOCONCEPTO FÍSICO EN USUARIOS DE GIMNASIOS(2025-03-05) Bravo Vela, Cristina Daniela; García Ramos, Diana Carolina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThe principal aim of the study was to determine the relationship between exercise dependence and physical self-concept, through a transversal, non-experimental, correlational study. The sample consisted of 102 users registered in different gyms in the city of Ambato-Ecuador, 65 men and 37 women. Participants were evaluated using the Exercise Dependence Scale - Revised (EDS-R) and the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire (CAF). Negative correlations were found between exercise dependence symptoms and physical self-concept dimensions. In this sense, the results indicated that a positive physical self-concept could prevent the development of exercise dependence, with the most of participants being considered as non-dependent symptomatic and that, in general, men and women have a positive physical self-concept, with no significant differences being found between them.Item SATISFACCIÓN MUSCULAR Y AUTOCONCEPTO FÍSICO EN USUARIOS DE GIMNASIOS(2025-03-05) Bautista Albán, María de los Ángeles; Gavilanes Gómez, Guillermo Daniel; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaMuscle satisfaction and physical self-concept are variables that together have been studied infrequently, since they are mostly directed towards the population that attends gyms and physical activity centers, so the objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between muscle satisfaction and physical selfconcept in gym users, within a sample of 125 male and female participants. The study had a quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional approach, and validated and standardized instruments were used: Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS) in its Spanish adapted version, Escala de Satisfacción Muscular (ESM) and the Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Físico (CAF). The results show a low positive correlation between muscle satisfaction with the strength dimension (Rho=0.263, p<0.003), low negative with general physical self-concept (Rho=-0.205, p<0.022) and low negative with general selfconcept (Rho=-0.206, p<0.021); specifically, the mean of muscle satisfaction was 51.5; in addition, there were no statistically significant differences between the means of men and women in muscle satisfaction (U=1559, p>0.05). It is concluded that muscle satisfaction is related to three dimensions of the physical self-concept variable.
