Self-Esteem
Using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Score range from 10 to 40 points. Higher values represent a higher self-esteem.
Physical activity
Using the Short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire. In metabolic equivalent minutes per week. Higher values represent a higher level of physical activity.
