Determination of Self-Esteem from the Practice of an Intense Exercise and Rehearse With Post-Adolescent Athletes

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and the practice of repeated shuttle sprints ability (RSA) in young post-adolescent athletes. Twenty-one students aged between 16 and 18 affiliated to sporting clubs with different disciplines have participated to this study. All recognized subjects have presented in this study by responding to the Self Esteem Scale EES-10. The same subjects realized the evidence of RSA test intersected with a recovery time of 25 s (6× (20+20m)). This test allowed the measure of the Total Time (RSATT), the Maximum Time (RSA max) and the Fatigue Index (RSAIF). Statistical analysis has revealed a very significant correlation between RSATT at the self-esteem (r = 0.58, p < 0.001). A considerable correlation (p< 0, 05) has been also observed between self-esteem and RSA max (r = 0.50, p < 0,001). This has leaded the study to conclude that getting a good performance in repeated sprints would increase significantly the level of self-esteem in adolescents and has played a vital role in the mental and physical health of these people.
