- Abstract
The aim of this research was to analyse the relationships between motives for physical activity, physical activity level and variables that encourage resistance at work, as well as the relationship between the most self-determined motives for physical activity and the components of a resistant personality in Spanish pre-school and primary school teachers. Using a descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 649 practising teachers. Specifically, the MPAM-R (Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised) Questionnaire, the Work Resilience Questionnaire and the PACE (Physician-based Assessment and Counselling for Exercise) Questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the scales and the correlations between the factors were analysed. Finally, several hypotheses were studied through structural equation modelling. The results indicated that leisure (ß = .29), competition (ß = .25) and fitness (ß = .14) are predictors of physical-sporting activity performed (R² = .37). Motives and level of physical activity together predict 15% of the challenge variable (R² = .15). Physical-sport activity is positively related to the challenge dimension (ß = .36) is positively related to engagement (ß = .66) and control (ß = .45). Physical activity can improve resistant personality in the challenge dimension.
