EnglishPhysical performance has a central place in military career and its self-perceptions are related to well-being. We sought to analyze whether there is a relationship between indicators of psychological well-being (positive and negative affectivity, well-being and psychological distress) and perceived athletic ability. The research had a cross-sectional, retrospective ex-post-facto design with a single group and multiple measures. The total sample was 156 cadets from the Colegio Militar de la Nacion Argentina, of which 77.6% (n = 121) were men. Perceived athletic ability presented a positive relationship with total well-being and positive affectivity, a negative relationship with psychological distress and no relationship was found with negative affectivity. The results show that subjective well-being in military cadets is related to perceived physical performance, replicating what the literature on the field of professional sports maintains. In this sense, the importance of incorporating the tools of sports psychology in the military field is raised to achieve an improvement in the physical performance of cadets.
