Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la asociación entre la aptitud motriz de estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso y su desempeño académico en los dos periodos lectivos de inicio de la carrera de Educación Física, Deporte y Recreación. Participaron 83 voluntarios (Hombres = 60, Mujeres = 23) de la Universidad Veracruzana, México. La aptitud motriz se evaluó con ocho pruebas y el rendimiento académico se midió con el promedio ponderado de dos periodos consecutivos. Los análisis de regresión múltiple mostraron que el salto sin carrera (modelo 1), y gimnasia y encestes de baloncesto (modelo 2) predicen el rendimiento académico. En conclusión, la aptitud motriz predice parcialmente el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de primer ingreso.AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the association between the motor skills of first-year university students and their academic performance in the two initial academic terms of the Physical Education, Sports and Recreation degree. Eighty-three volunteers participated (Men = 60, Women = 23) from the Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico. Motor skills were evaluated with eight tests and academic performance was measured with the weighted average of two consecutive terms. Multiple regression analyses showed that standing jumping (model 1), and gymnastics and effective basketball throws (model 2) predicted academic performance. In conclusion, motor skills partially predict academic performance in first-year students

Introducción: El abandono universitario prematuro debido al fracaso académico puede resultar problemático para los estudiantes, las familias y los educadores. En un mayor esfuerzo para comprender los factores asociados al éxito académico en la universidad, se examinaron medidas de redimiendo académico previo (puntuación media de acceso a la universidad, PPA), puntuaciones en test de aptitud, nota de selectividad y variables psicológicas (motivación, autoeficacia) en alumnado para predecir su nota media del primer año de carreraMétodo: Las puntuaciones académicas previas de 3301 estudiantes universitarios de primer año se obtuvieron mediante archives de datos previos. De la muestra total, 214 estudiantes rellenaron un autoinforme relativo a variables psicológicas. Los datos fueron analizados medainte análisis de regresión múltiple. La regresión fue utilizada para explicar el grado de predicción de la nota media obtenida durante el primer año de carrera predicha por las variables psicológicas analizadas y la puntuación media previa al ingreso en la universidad. El análisis de regresión múltiple por pasos se utilizó para identifican los predictores más importantes de la nota media del primer año de carrera.Resultados. Los resultados muestran que la combinación de las puntuaciones académicas y las variables psicológicas explican un 17% de la varianza encontrada en las puntuaciones medias obtenidas el primer año de universidad. La contribución única de las variables psicológicas explica el 4% de la varianza. Se observa un mayor porcentaje de la varianza explicada en nota media entre las mujeres (34%) en comparación con los hombres (15%). Además, la nota media de acceso a la universidad aparece como un predictor significativo para el rendimiento universitario en ambos sexos.Conclusión. Los resultados del estudio apoyan la conclusión de el rendimiento académico previo a la universidad predice los resultados obtenidos en la universidad. Los efectos de las varaibles psicológicas en el rendimiento no son significativos. Basadas en los hallazgos del estudio, se presentan algunas implicaciones prácticas para los servicios de apoyo al estudiante y el servicio de admisión universitaria.

This study aims to explore the associations between descriptive normative beliefs (DNB), alcohol use and negative consequences and test whether self-regulation (SR) moderates this relationship. The data was collected online from 1621 first-year university students in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania and Slovakia. The AUDIT, self-regulation questionnaire and questions regarding DNB were used. DNB were found to be positively associated with drinking across all the samples. The associations between DNB and alcohol use as well as between alcohol use and negative consequences were stronger among students with lower SR. The protective effect of SR on alcohol use and consequences combined with the theory of social influence may improve intervention accuracy and make it a promising target for intervention among young adults.

Abstract Background Some findings indicate that university students are at higher risk of depression despite being a socially advantaged population, showing that 15 to 25% of them develop some type of mental disorder during graduation, and depression is one of the most prevalent. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and its association with gender, material status, social health, and behavioral factors among university students. Methods The research represents a cross-sectional study conducted at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The research involved 455 first-year students. The average age of participants was 19.3 years (72.1% girls and 27.9% boys). Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to measure depressive symptoms (cut point for depressive episode ≥10). Additional questions were focused on self-assessed material status, social health, and behavioral factors (smoking and alcohol use). The binary logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between depression and observed independent variables. Results The prevalence of moderate to severe depressive episode among students was 18.0%, with no gender differences. Out of the total, 11.0% of students had suicidal thoughts or thoughts of hurting themselves. Multivariable logistic regression showed that self-assessed poor material status (OR = 2.04; 95%CI: 1.06-3.89), self-assessed poor social health (OR = 8.9; 95%CI:4.87-16.42) and smoking (OR = 2.18; 95%CI: 1.09-4.39) were significant predictors of depression among first-year university students. Conclusions High prevalence of depressive episode among university students call for the action for the promotion of mental health, particularly among those of lower socioeconomic status, and points out the importance of social health and social network in the prevention of mental disorders. Key messages Students on the first year of University should be screened for depressive symptoms. It is important to educate students on how to create a strong support network and to implement intervention programs for improving mental health through fostering healthy lifestyles change.
