- Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the basic psychological needs (BPN) and the perception of life skills (LS) in university athletes. Participants (n=136) were 21.78±3.37 years and participated in the 2019 Brazilian University Games. The instruments used were the LS Scale for Sport and the BPN Satisfaction Scale for Sport. For data analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnorv test and the independent t-test (p<0.05) were used. University athletes demonstrated satisfaction with their BPN and high perception of LS development. Male university athletes receiving some type of financial incentive demonstrated they perceive themselves to be more autonomous. Older athletes from a private institution, who receive financial incentives indicate greater development of LS in sport. University professionals should provide positive sports experiences, aiming to promote BPN satisfaction and the development of LS.
