这项横断面研究考察了身体自我知觉(PSP)、成熟度和身体活动之间的关系，并比较了生理年龄和年龄段与青春期早期女孩(N=208；平均年龄=11.83+/-0.39岁)之间关系的强度。研究对象完成了《大龄儿童体力活动问卷》、《儿童身体自我知觉量表》和《青春期发育量表》。结果表明，PSPs与体力活动呈显著和中度相关。不同成熟期的体力活动无明显差异。处于成熟期早期的女生对身体吸引力和身体自我价值感的积极程度显著高于处于成熟期中期的女生。没有证据表明PSP与实际年龄之间存在联系。本研究为PSP与体力活动的关系以及成熟度与PSP各方面的关系提供了进一步的支持。在这个年龄段，成熟似乎与体育活动无关，也不是对体育活动行为影响最大的PSP。
This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between physical self-perceptions (PSPs), maturation, and physical activity and compared the strength of the relationships of biological and chronological age with PSPs in early adolescent girls (N = 208; mean age = 11.83 +/- 0.39 years). Participants completed the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children, the Children's Physical Self-Perception Profile, and the Pubertal Development Scale. Results indicated that PSPs were significantly and moderately correlated with physical activity. There were no differences in physical activity between maturation stages. Girls who were in the early stages of maturation had significantly more positive perceptions of body attractiveness and physical self-worth than girls in the mid stages of maturation. There was no evidence of a relationship between PSPs and chronological age. This study provided further support for the relationship between PSPs and physical activity and the relationship between maturation and aspects of PSPs. In this age group, maturation does not appear to be related to physical activity or the PSPs most strongly influential on physical activity behavior.
