Abstract

This study examined the relationships between parental support for physical activity, the frequency of weekly practice, and expectations of self-efficacy to overcome obstacles that impede such participation. We also analyzed whether the frequency of practice and perceived self-efficacy were different according to the participant’s gender. A total of 430 students, from three secondary education centers in the province of Jaen and aged between 12 and 17 years (M = 13.96; SD = 1.39), took part in this study. The results showed that the boys and girls who attributed to their parents a high level of instrumental support, modeling, and behavioral limitation allocated a greater number of days a week to the performance of physical-sport activity during a minimum interval of 60 minutes. In addition, these were more self-efficacious to engage in such practice compared to those who perceived lower support rates in their parents. Finally, both the frequency of practice of activity and the self-efficacy attributed to being involved in activities of a physical-sport nature was greater in the case of male participants.
