Abstract

This study establishes the relationship between perceived physical ability and levels of aggression among Colombian professional soccer players. The sample consisted of 104 players belonging to five professional teams in the first and second divisions of Colombian professional soccer, aged between 15 and 35 years old. To assess levels of aggression, the Questionnaire on Unsportsmanlike and Violent Attitudes for Athletes (CAVIDE) (Pelegrín et al. 2003) was used, and to assess Perceived Physical Ability, the Perceived Physical Ability Scale (PPA) by Rickman et al. (1982) was used. It was concluded that the battery of questionnaires used proved to be a valid set of instruments with an adequate degree of internal consistency. The results show that Colombian soccer players have a very good or excellent perception of their physical ability, while their aggressiveness is low or moderate, with verbal and expressive types being the most frequent. Regarding the correlation between the two variables under study, it was concluded that perceived physical ability does not significantly influence the aggressiveness of players and vice versa, which means that aggressive behavior does not influence the perceived physical ability of professional soccer players.
