Abstract
Los factores que influyen en los niveles de actividad física son muchos, sin embargo, es necesario identificar aquellos que pueden ser modificables, entre ellos están las variables sociocognitivas. El objetivo general de esta investigación fue analizar la relación entre el autoconcepto físico, motivación, autoeficacia y percepción de barreras para la actividad física, y el bienestar subjetivo con el nivel de actividad física en estudiantes universitarios. Se utilizó un diseño predictivo transversal y participaron 362 estudiantes de Educación Superior de una región del centro sur de Chile. Para responder a los objetivos se utilizó un Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales, específicamente el modelo Probit adecuado para regresiones ordinales. Los resultados mostraron que: (1) la autoeficacia para la práctica de actividad física, la falta de tiempo, falta de voluntad, falta de habilidad, el autoconcepto de condición física y el autoconcepto físico de fuerza predijeron significativamente el nivel de práctica de actividad física; (2) el nivel de actividad física media la relación entre las variables sociocognitivas y la afectividad positiva. Es posible concluir que las variables sociocognitivas influyen en los niveles de actividad física de estudiantes universitarios y esta última influye en su bienestar. Abstract: The factors that influence physical activity levels are many, however, it is necessary to identify those that can be modified, among them are the sociocognitive variables. The general objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between physical self-concept, motivation, self-efficacy and perception of barriers to physical activity, and subjective well-being with the level of physical activity in university students. A cross-sectional predictive design was used and 362 students of Higher Education from a region of southern central Chile participated. To respond to the objectives, a Model of Structural Equations was used, specifically the Probit model suitable for ordinal regressions. The results showed that: (1) self-efficacy for the practice of physical activity, lack of time, lack of will, lack of ability, self-concept of physical condition and physical self-concept of strength significantly predicted the level of practice of physical activity; (2) the level of physical activity mediates the relationship between sociocognitive variables and positive affectivity. It is possible to conclude that sociocognitive variables influence the levels of physical activity of university students and the latter influences their well-being.Abstract: The factors that influence physical activity levels are many, however, it is necessary to identify those that can be modified, among them are the sociocognitive variables.

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar a relação entre o autoconceito físico, a motivação, a autoeficácia e a percepção de barreiras à atividade física e o bem-estar subjetivo com o nível de atividade física em estudantes universitários. Um desenho preditivo transversal foi usado e 362 estudantes do Ensino Superior de uma região centro-sul do Chile participaram. Para responder aos objetivos, foi utilizado um Modelo de Equações Estruturais, especificamente o modelo Probit adequado para regressões ordinais. Os resultados mostraram que: (1) a autoeficácia para a prática de atividade física, falta de tempo, falta de vontade, falta de habilidade, o autoconceito de condição física e o autoconceito físico de força predizem significativamente o nível de prática de atividade física ; (2) o nível de atividade física medeia a relação entre variáveis sociocognitivas e afetividade positiva. É possível concluir que as variáveis sociocognitivas influenciam os níveis de atividade física dos universitários e estas influenciam no seu bem-estar.
