Endometriosis
Conditions
Brief summary
This research focuses on understanding how physical activity can improve the quality of life for women with endometriosis by enhancing their self-perception, particularly regarding their physical abilities and appearance. The study is based on the idea that improving internal perceptions can lead to better overall well-being for these women. Previous studies, suggest that physical self-perception plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's quality of life. There is also evidence supporting a reciprocal relationship between physical self-concept and participation in physical activity In this context, the research aims to explore how physical activity could positively influence the self-concept of women suffering from endometriosis, which in turn could enhance their quality of life. By focusing on improving both physical abilities and body image through regular exercise, this study seeks to offer insights into potential therapeutic approaches for managing the physical and psychological impacts of endometriosis.
