Some authors suggest that there is a relationship between adolescents with overweight or obesity and lower self-esteem. In addition, sports participation has been associated with a higher self-esteem. Objectives: To analyses the relationships between BMI, gender, acceptance for physical education classes and self-esteem in a representative sample of 14-16 years students of the Alicante city. Methods: Research was conducted with a representative sample of 1,150 students (15.1 ± 0.8 years) of the Alicante city. Data included their socio-demographic background, anthropometric measurements, self-esteem and acceptance for physical education classes. Results: There is a positive correlation between acceptance for physical education classes and selfesteem (r= .319) and there is a negative correlation between this acceptance and gender (r= -.289), lower scores were shown in a female group. There is a negative correlation between self-esteem and BMI (r= -.083) and gender (r= -.308), lower self-esteem were shown in a female group. Results: It is necessary to plan actions aimed as reinforcing and increasing self-esteem during the adolescent period, focusing on the group of girls and the group of young adults with overweight and obesity problems and especially in the girl group. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 1.497 2015 NUTRITION & DIETETICS 60 / 80 = 0.75 2015 Q3 T3 0.404 2015 Nutrition and Dietetics 2015 Q3 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2015 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Muros Molina, José Joaquin Bustos Torres, Beatriz (orcid)0000-0002-6829-0775 Pradas de la Fuente, Francisco Universidad de Zaragoza Zurita Ortega, Félix Cepero González, Maria del Mar 3001 187 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
