Abstract

The purpose of this study was to predict physical activity (PA) using multidimensional physical self-concept theory with underserved urban inner city youth. Eight-hundred and sixty-five, mostly African-American, high school students from a large Midwest inner city participated in the current study. Using structural equation modeling, we found support for multidimensional self-concept theory. We argue against one-dimensional models of self-esteem as two discrete physical self-concepts accounted for significant variance in PA. Endurance and sport self-concepts both contributed to predicting unique variance (15%) in PA.
