abstract = {(1) Background: The present research seeks to define and contrast an explanatory model of
physical self-concept, emotional isolation, attitude towards physical education, and family functioning,
and analyse the existing associations between these variables. (2) Methods: The sample was made up
of 2388 adolescents (43.39% male and 56.61% female), with ages of 11–17 years (M = 13.85; SD = 1.26)
from Spain. Self-concept (AF-5), Isolation (UCLA), Attitude towards Physical Education (CAEF),
and Family Functioning (APGAR) were analyzed. (3) Results: Good fit was obtained for all evaluation
indices included in the structural equation model, which was significantly adjusted (X2 = 233,023;
DF = 14; p < 0.001; comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.913; normalized fit index (NFI) = 0.917; incremental
fit index (IFI) = 0.906; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.072). (4) Conclusions:
Attitudes towards physical activity were found to be positive when isolation levels were low and
where adequate self-concept existed, specifically in students reporting high family functioning.},
