Positive emotional and psychological benefits are commonly believed to result from chronic physical exercise. While reviews of research have failed to substantiate this general proposition, they have identified enhanced self-esteem as an empirically supported exercise outcome. Unfortunately, research in this area has tended to be simplistic in self-esteem theory and measurement and has remained incapable of addressing how or why change may occur. This paper summarizes pertinent self-esteem theory and presents an empirically based rationale for self-esteem enhancement through exercise participation. It constructs a model for examining exercise and self-esteem interactions in which components of self-structure are hierarchically organized on a basis of generality. The self-esteem model contains dimensions of competence and self-acceptance, and it is operationally defined.
人们普遍认为，长期进行体育锻炼能带来积极的情绪和心理益处。虽然对相关研究的综述未能证实这一普遍观点，但已确定自尊增强是一个有实证依据的锻炼结果。不幸的是，该领域的研究在自尊理论和测量方面往往过于简单，并且仍然无法解释变化是如何或为何发生的。本文总结了相关的自尊理论，并提出了通过参与锻炼来增强自尊的实证依据。它构建了一个用于检验锻炼与自尊相互作用的模型，其中自我结构的组成部分基于普遍性进行分层组织。自尊模型包含能力和自我接纳两个维度，并进行了操作性定义。
