Resumen

La práctica deportiva representa una herramienta de importancia central para promover la salud física, psicológica, social y cognitiva. La actividad física se recomienda para mejorar y manejar los síntomas de ansiedad, depresión y malestar psicológico. Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar el estado de salud y bienestar de chicos y chicas, examinando la relación entre la salud y la práctica deportiva. En particular, se busca investigar si existen diferencias entre chicos y chicas que practican deporte y aquellos que no participan en actividades deportivas, en experimentar ansiedad, ataques de pánico y en el uso de ansiolíticos, tranquilizantes y pastillas para dormir, considerando las posibles diferencias de género. El instrumento utilizado es un cuestionario en línea (Google Forms) administrado a estudiantes universitarios (N=678). Las respuestas al cuestionario se expresaron en frecuencias (N) y porcentajes (%). Para los análisis de las relaciones entre variables, se utilizó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de las chicas (73.7%) y chicos (77.5%) que experimentaron ansiedad y ataques de pánico en el último año no asisten a grupos deportivos. Por el contrario, las chicas y chicos que participan en actividades deportivas informan menos síntomas de ansiedad y ataques de pánico en el último año. En conclusión, es fundamental promover la actividad física y aumentar la conciencia de los beneficios de la práctica deportiva para la salud.
