Resumo

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel do treino no taekwondo (TKD) no bem-estar subjetivo (BS) dos adolescentes (12-18 anos) na cidade de Adis Abeba, Etiópia. Utilizou-se um método transversal e um questionário autoadministrado, como principal ferramenta para a recolha de dados. Um total de 162 adolescentes (108 praticantes de TKD de quatro clubes de TKD selecionados aleatoriamente e 54 adolescentes não praticantes de TKD de uma escola pública secundária selecionada aleatoriamente) participaram no estudo. O trabalho tratou de determinar o nível de bem-estar subjetivo dos adolescentes de TKD através do “Personal Wellbeing Index-School Children” (PWI-SC). Por outro lado, comparou-se os adolescentes por grupos (adolescentes de TKD em três grupos segundo a graduação/cinto e adolescentes praticantes – não praticantes), de acordo com as suas pontuações de PWI-SC. Os resultados do estudo revelam que: (1) os adolescentes de TKD tinham um nível elevado (pontuação média) de BS medido pelo PWI-SC (81,95; 95%IC: 79,70 a 84,20); (2) não houve diferenças significativas no BS entre os três grupos de adolescentes de TKD (graduações de baixo nível, médio e alto) (F_{(2, 81)} = 1.58, p> .05.); e (3) em comparação com os adolescentes não praticantes de TKD, os adolescentes tiveram uma pontuação média de BS significativamente más alta (t = 4,25_(77,97), p <0,001; d = 0,79). Em geral, os resultados deste estudo indicam que o treino pode contribuir positivamente para o bem-estar dos adolescentes.
