| dc.description | With the COVID-19 pandemic, the physical activity (PA) levels of university students
declined as a result of confinement. The aim of the study was to analyse the segmentation of
university students according to physical self-concept ratings and to determine the differences
between each cluster during the pandemic. The sample consisted of 492 students aged 18–31 years,
36.8% male and 63.2% female, who were administered the PSDQ-S and IPAQ instruments. The data
collected were analysed with SPSS software, from which descriptive statistics, a cluster analysis from
the PSDQ-S, was obtained. The IPAQ and socio-demographic variables were used to characterise the
groups. Finally, a non-hierarchical K-means analysis was performed to establish the clusters. The
results reported three different group profiles of students. Significant differences were found in all
self-concept variables analysed, with the exception of some items. In relation to PA level, it could be
established that the Positive Physical Self-Concept group had the highest PA level and was composed
of 52.1% females and 34.4% males, showing a high physical self-concept, whereas, in the Medium-
Physical Self-Concept and Negative-Physical Self-Concept groups, females were predominant in
number. They were also the least physically active groups and had a low physical self-concept. | |
