Description
Summary:	This study aimed at investigating the impact of the quality of life perception on the self-esteem of physically active adults. A total of 63 male and female swimming practitioners (38.13 [+ or -] 11.72) were evaluated. A socio-demographic questionnaire, WHOQOL-Bref Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used as tools. For data analysis the descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient, and the Univariate Multiple Regression were used. No significant differences were found either for the quality of life or the self-esteem between sexes; there was a significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) among the physical (r = 0.37), psychological (r = 0.36) and environmental (r = 0.30) domains with self-esteem. The regression model explained 20% of the self-esteem variability, with moderate and significant pathways of the physical ([beta] = 0.23) and psychological ([beta] = 0.23) domains, whereas the environmental domain did not show a significant predictive relation (p = 0.988) with self-esteem. It is concluded that a higher quality of life perception may result in a higher self-esteem for physically active adults. Keywords: motor activity, health promotion, psychology. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o impacto da percepcao de qualidade de vida na autoestima de adultos fisicamente ativos. Foram avaliados 63 sujeitos praticantes de natacao de ambos os sexos (38,13 [+ or -] 11,72); como instrumento foi utilizado um questionario sociodemografico, WHOQOL-Bref, e a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg; para analise dos dados foi utilizada a estatistica descritiva e os testes Kolmogorov-Smirnov, 'U' de Mann-Whitney, Coeficiente de Correlacao de Spearman e Regressao Multipla Univariada. Nao foram encontradas diferencas significativas para QV e AE entre os sexos; houve correlacao positiva significativa (p < 0,05) entre os dominios fisico (r = 0,37), psicologico (r = 0,36), e meio ambiente (r = 0,30) com a autoestima; o modelo de regressao explicou em 20% a variabilidade da autoestima, com trajetorias moderadas e significativas dos dominios fisico ([beta] = 0,23) e psicologico ([beta] = 0,23), ja o dominio meio ambiente nao apresentou relacao preditiva significativa (p = 0,988) com a autoestima. Conclui-se que a maior percepcao de qualidade de vida pode resultar em maior autoestima para adultos fisicamente ativos. Palavras-chave: atividade motora, promocao da saude, psicologia.
