In this study, a BE program was applied with university Physical Activity and Sports Sciences (PASS) students from six consecutive academic years: three prior to and three during the COVID-19 pandemic. A pre-post design was used to determine how the BE program affected the university students’ self-concept (SC). Thus, a questionnaire with a multidimensional approach to this construct was administered, with dimensions closely related to the BE program characteristics. The results revealed significant improvements in the final SC, compared to the initial SC. The men reported lower SC values than the women before the program’s implementation, but higher at the end. Therefore, the change was greater in the men, so the program may have had an equalizing effect between the groups. It was also verified that the pandemic had particularly affected the women. 000123927 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RTI2018--093292-B-I00 000123927 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000123927 592__ $$a0.828$$b2022 000123927 593__ $$aHealth, Toxicology and Mutagenesis$$c2022$$dQ2 000123927 593__ $$aPublic Health, Environmental and Occupational Health$$c2022$$dQ2 000123927 593__ $$aPollution$$c2022$$dQ2 000123927 594__ $$a5.4$$b2022 000123927 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000123927 700__ $$aCaballero-Julia, Daniel 000123927 7102_ $$13001$$2187$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
