Abstract

This study is to investigate the effectiveness of an exercise program for children from 10 to 11 years old. In this study, 30 subjects were divided into two groups of equal control and training. After completing the procedure, the participants in the training group performed the gymnastics training program for 12 weeks and the control group did nothing. Data collection tool is a demographic questionnaire and a scale of self-concept Piers-Harris. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to test the normal distribution of samples. The research results show that in the training group, the size of the concept of self and the general selfconcept of children before and after exercise instrument increased significantly. The results also show that the size of happiness and satisfaction of children, both in the control group and in the training group, is significantly different. The study concluded that a training program in the field of gymnastics training has significantly increased the level of self-concept of children.

Participating in physical activities, in addition to having a positive impact on physical characteristics, also affects mental qualities, and it is obvious that physical activity also has physiological and psychological benefits. Compared to traditional interventions such as psychotherapy, psychological, social and pharmaceutical interventions, physical activity has some relatively cost-effective side effects [1]. Moreover, physical activity can have beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, osteoporosis and obesity. Research in this area shows that physical activity can improve mental health [2]. Nolis says that the physical image (the concept of physical self) includes the person’s emotions, behaviors and values to the person and how to look at an individual’s appearance and all the emotions forming their physical image [3].

Many factors such as speed and quality of communication between children and parents, inspiring and encouraging family members, especially parents [4], social interactions such as reactions of others, age, sex and sports activities, affecting the concept of self. A person has a strong and positive self-concept, compared to a person with a poor self-concept, having a completely different view of the world [5]. The concept of self makes the person more sensitive to his own information and makes it easier to encrypt and retrieve [6]. The reason for this is that personal information is analyzed more deeply and carefully, and the information of the most self-organizing information networks lies in the memory of individuals, and the more often the information is, the more the stronger the reminder [7]. The concept of physical self is a branch of self-concept that indicates awareness and self-evaluation of their own bodies. Many studies have shown that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between sports activity and self-concept.
