- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine what motivational variables belonging to the Self-Determination Theory were predictors of more active stages of exercise change (Action and Maintenance). We used the Self-Determination Theory and the Transtheoretical Model as theoretical framework. The sample consisted of 187 physical education students with an average age of 15.5 years (SD = 1.70). The following questionnaires were administered: the Scale of Perceived Locus of causality in Physical Education (PLOC Scale), the measurement range of the basic psychological needs (BPNES) and the questionnaire about the stages of change for physical exercise (URICA-E2). Subsequently, a descriptive analysis and regression analysis were performed. The results showed that the action state of exercise change was predicted by the basic psychological need of autonomy and the maintenance state of exercise change was predicted by the basic psychological need of competence, both positively and significantly. Promoting the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of competence and autonomy will be relevant in order to increase regular physical exercise practice.
