There has been a decrease in sports practices among the adolescent population, and several authors have tried to identify variables that can explain this decrease by analyzing psychosocial aspects such as perceived fitness and self-efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the association of perceived fitness and self-efficacy with sport practices and to determine whether perceived fitness is a mediator of the association between self-efficacy and sport practice in Spanish adolescents. The sample was composed of 882 students between 13 and 17 years old from Gipuzkoa (Spain). A descriptive, correlational and direct/indirect effect approach was used, using the PROCESS macro for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Among the results obtained, it is highlighted on the one hand, that perceived fitness significantly correlates with both self-efficacy and sport practice, on the other hand, it is confirmed that perceived fitness is a mediator in the relationship between self-efficacy and sports practice. This finding highlights the importance of psychosocial aspects in efforts to increase sports practice.
青少年人群的体育锻炼有所减少，有几位作者试图通过分析感知健康和自我效能等社会心理方面的变量来解释这种减少。因此，本研究的目的是检验感知健康和自我效能与体育锻炼的关联，并确定感知健康是否是自我效能与西班牙青少年体育锻炼之间关联的中介。该样本由来自西班牙吉普斯夸省（Gipuzkoa）的 882 名 13 至 17 岁的学生组成。采用描述性、相关性和直接/间接效应方法，使用统计软件包的 PROCESS 宏进行分析。在所获得的结果中，一方面强调了感知健康与自我效能和体育锻炼都显著相关，另一方面证实了感知健康是自我效能与体育锻炼之间关系的中介。这一发现突出了社会心理方面在增加体育锻炼方面的重要性。
