S-e personal judgment of worthiness , global and relatively stable evaluative construct reflecting degree to which individual feels positive about him- or herself . Physical self can be divided into various sub-domains, e. g. spot competence, physical conditioning, body attractiveness, and physical strength. S-e long indentified as psychological state with greatest potential to reflect benefits that can be gained from regular exercise. Research continues to show that following regular exercise program results in improved s-c/s-e: wide range of physical activity been investigated in terms of potential to impact people"s s-c/s-e. Causal link between physical self-perceptions and exercise not clearly established.
