Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el papel del entrenamiento en taekwondo (TKD) en el bienestar subjetivo (BS) de adolescentes (12-18 años) en la ciudad de Adís Abeba. Se utilizó un método de encuesta transversal, y un cuestionario autoadministrado como principal herramienta para la recolección de datos. Un total de 162 adolescentes (108 practicantes de TKD de cuatro clubes de TKD seleccionados aleatoriamente y 54 adolescentes no practicantes de TKD de una escuela pública secundaria seleccionada aleatoriamente), participaron en el estudio. El trabajo trató de determinar el nivel de bienestar subjetivo de los adolescentes de TKD a través del Personal Wellbeing Index – School Children (PWI-SC). Además, se compararon los adolescentes por grupos (adolescentes de TKD en tres grupos según su grado/cinturón y adolescentes practicantes – no practicantes) de acuerdo a sus puntuaciones de PWI-SC. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que: (1) los adolescentes de TKD tenían un nivel alto (puntuación media) de BS medido por el PWI-SC (81,95 ; 95%IC: 79,70 a 84,20); (2) no hubo diferencias significativas en el BS entre los tres grupos de adolescentes de TKD (cinturones de nivel bajo, medio y alto) (F_{(2, 81)} = 1.58, p> .05.); y (3) en comparación con los adolescentes no practicantes de TKD, los adolescentes de TKD tuvieron una puntuación media de BS significativamente más alta (t = 4,25_(77,97), p <0,001; d = 0,79). En general, los resultados de este estudio indican que el entrenamiento en puede suponer una contribución positiva al bienestar de los adolescentes.
