ResumenEl objetivo del trabajo es conocer el nivel de actividad física y la orientación motivacional en función del género, la edad y el tipo de deporte practicado en estudiantes. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 285 estudiantes (150 chicos y 135 chicas), con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y 18 años (edad media = 14.85 ± 3.42), a los que se les administraron los cuestionarios Physician-based Assessment and Counseling for Exercise y Goal Orientation in Exercise Scale. Los resultados mostraron que, el nivel de práctica de actividad física en los estudiantes es medio-bajo, siendo significativamente superior en los chicos que las chicas y disminuyendo con el aumento de la edad. Además, los practicantes de deportes colectivos mostraron niveles de actividad física más elevados que los practicantes de deportes individuales. Respecto a la orientación motivacional, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en función de la edad, el género y del deporte. Sin embargo, los chicos mostraron valores significativamente superiores de orientación al ego. Además, se encontró una asociación positiva y significativa entre la orientación hacia la tarea y el nivel de actividad física. Este trabajo supone una información útil para que el profesorado de Educación Física promueva estrategias motivacionales para incrementar los niveles de actividad física en los estudiantes.AbstractThe aim of this study is to know the level of physical activity and motivational orientation based on gender, age and the type of sport practiced in students. Sample was made up of a total of 285 students (150 boys and 135 girls), ages between 11 and 18 years (mean age = 14.85 ± 3.42 years), who were administered the questionnaires Physician-based Assessment and Counseling for Exercise y Goal Orientation in Exercise Scale. The results showed that the level of practice of physical activity in students is medium-low, which is significantly higher in boys than in girls, and decreases significantly with increasing the age. In addition, collective sports practitioners have higher levels of physical activity than individual sports practitioners. Regarding motivational orientation, no significant differences were found based on gender, age and type of sport. However, boys showed higher values of ego orientation than girls. Furthermore, a positive and significant association is found between task orientation and physical activity level. This work is very useful information for the Physical Education teachers to promote motivational strategies to increase the levels of physical activity in the students.
