Exercise, physical activity, and self-determination theory: A systematic review

Abstract: BackgroundMotivation is a critical factor in supporting sustained exercise, which in turn is associated with important health outcomes. Accordingly, research on exercise motivation from the perspective of self-determination theory (SDT) has grown considerably in recent years. Previous reviews have been mostly narrative and theoretical. Aiming at a more comprehensive review of empirical data, this article examines the empirical literature on the relations between key SDT-based constructs and exercise and physic… Show more

“…19,34 Self-determined motivation is one construct that deserves greater attention having shown promise in studies of physical activity behavior and well-being. 35,36 Self-determined motivation Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is a wellsupported theory for understanding motivation-related constructs in the context of physical activity as well as for predicting people's well-being. 37 It is assumed within SDT that growth and integration are two innate tendencies that are shared by all individuals, and that when properly nurtured, can facilitate functional, healthy behaviors and wellness.…”

Through the specific activities adapted for prophylaxis and kinetotherapy, it has promoted and optimized a correct and positive perception of: fitness level, health status, body image, self-esteem, etc.…”

“…Indeed, numerous studies have already demonstrated the importance of optimal motivation in terms of continued participation in physical activity and sports (Pannekoek, Piek, & Hagger, 2013;Teixeira, Carraca, Markland, Silva, & Ryan, 2012), yet relationships with actual motor competence have less frequently been investigated. In the current study, the concept of motivation was approached from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory (SDT, Deci & Ryan, 2000), a well-known and commonly used theory in various research areas such as education, health care and sports.…”
