Relación entre el auto concepto físico y la expresión corporal en los integrantes de dos grupos de danza de una academia de baile en la ciudad de Cali

Abstract

The present investigation is sustained from the sport psychology framework and its purpose is to study the relationship between the physical self-concept and the corporal expression of the members of two groups of a dance academy located in the city of Santiago de Cali (Colombia ) For the purposes of this research, a physical self-concept questionnaire (CAF) by Alfredo Goñi was applied and to evaluate body expression, a systematic observation grid was used by the researchers, which was applied to 35 dancers (20 women and 15 men), between the ages of 16 to 45 years. The results obtained show the relationship between physical self-concept and body expression, where the correlation between the physical condition subdomain and the posture subcategory stands out. The analysis emphasizes the possible reasons why women consistently score higher than men on the tests applied to dancers. Regarding the discussion, the importance of the role of the sports psychologist in these sports training spaces is highlighted.
