Özet

In this study, the positive contributions of regular physical activity habits to the social development and self-confidence of young women are emphasized. In the search for scientific literature for this review, data from the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE, and SportDiscus were used, and the terms female adolescent health, self-confidence, physical activity, and self-esteem were used. The relevant literature has also taken its source from the research of relevant articles from reference lists derived from data searches. Self-esteem is defined as a person's general assessment of one's worth and is recognized as an important measure of psychological health. Since physical activity is any form of bodily movement performed to maintain or improve physical structure and general health, physical activity is thought to be associated with improved self-esteem in young adolescent females, and these two concepts are considered intertwined concepts. Regular exercise and physical activity are known to have numerous benefits for the physical and psychological development of young adolescent females. Exercise and sporting activities have been shown to help improve physical fitness, reduce depression, and increase self-confidence, and these positive effects help to create a psychological support system in young females. It is predicted that female adolescents who participate in physical activity during adolescence will have higher levels of self-esteem in adulthood compared to those who do not participate in physical activity. It is also accepted that female adolescents who develop physical activity habits during adolescence continue to carry positive sociopsychological and general health effects into adulthood.
