“…In contrast, when individuals feel that their basic psychological needs are being frustrated, they tend to regulate their behavior in a less self-determined way [1,2]. Additionally, these results are consistent with previous research [10,[51][52][53] showing the adaptive outcomes are contingent on needs satisfaction, and the negative consequences are related to needs frustration.…”

Sports research has been focused on the assessment of basic needs satisfaction, considering its absence as a representation of needs frustration. However, recent findings have suggested needs satisfaction and frustration as asymmetrical factors leading to differentiated outcomes. An accurate measurement of needs poses itself as a crucial aspect, facilitating coaches’ understanding of athlete’s motivational processes. This study aimed to examine the psychometric proprieties of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) in a sample of Portuguese athletes. A multigroup analysis was conducted of gender, sport type, age, and years of sports practice. Additionally, needs satisfaction and needs frustration were tested as predictors of behavioral regulations examining the nomological validity of the BPNSFS. Data from 594 Portuguese athletes (38.6% female; Mage = 15.21; SD = 0.97) that represent two different sports (football and swimming) were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling procedures were followed to test the factor structure and nomological validity of the scale, respectively. Analyses indicated that the six-factor model provided an adequate fit (Comparative Fit Index = 0.947, Tucker–Lewis Index = 0.936, Standardized Root Mean Square = 0.039, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.048 (CI 90% = 0.043, 0.054)). Moreover, the multigroup analysis suggested invariance in the observed structure across groups. In addition, findings indicated a strong prediction between needs satisfaction and autonomous forms of motivation, whereas needs frustration predicted significantly controlled forms of motivation. The sport-adapted BPNSFS in a sample of Portuguese athletes seemed to be an adequate measure for the assessment of basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration. Our findings suggested that this scale may be worth testing in future research in the sport context.

“…It is, therefore, important to provide the professionals with the understanding that need-supportive coaching is in fact the more adaptive way to foster motivation, even amongst exercisers/clients with low self-determined motivation [ 35 ], and educating them about the potential consequences of using controlling strategies (i.e., promotion of clients’ controlled motivation and amotivation; negative consequences for themselves, and increasing the risk of burnout) [ 18 ]. Exercise professionals need to be trained on how to become less controlling and more autonomy-supportive, to create supportive environments [ 57 ]. This is an effort that needs to be acknowledged and facilitated by health and fitness organizations, not only to continuously increase the number of people who choose this setting to exercise but especially, to ensure sustained engagement of those who already started.…”

According to the Self-Determination Theory, perceived job pressures can coerce professionals to develop more controlled motivations towards their work, and consequently increase the probability of using controlling motivational strategies. This study sought to analyze work-related motivations as mediators between two types of perceived job pressures: organizational constraints and perceptions of clients’ controlled motivation and the use of controlling motivational strategies by exercise professionals. Using a cross-sectional design, involving 366 exercise professionals (172 women), mediation paths were assessed following Preacher and Hayes statistical procedures. Models were adjusted for gender, work experience (years), and the internal tendency to feel events as pressuring. Organizational constraints were associated with lower autonomous motivation for work and the use of controlling strategies. Perceptions of clients’ controlled motivation were associated with work-related amotivation and the use of controlling strategies. Amotivation mediated the association between organizational constraints and controlling strategies. Overall, results support theoretical predictions and previous research, extending it to the exercise domain, highlighting the interplay between job pressures, work-related motivations, and the use of controlling strategies. The understanding of what influences exercise professionals’ motivation, and consequently the motivational strategies they use, is of paramount importance for exercise promotion and the benefit of those who seek their expert guidance.

“…Noticeably, student's attitude to PA not only associated with a higher MVPA level but also indicate the positive change of MVPA behavior, a previous study supported this result [35]. This can also be explained by autonomous motivation, a component of Self-determination theory(SDT) [36], that autonomously motivation positively predict PA participation [37,38]. In addition, higher PE motivation associated with PA and sport participation positively [39], which can be explained by the trans-contextual model of motivation, this also the reason why PE class and extra PA time was the potential factors for maintaining and promoting MVPA level [40].…”

Background Physical activity has many health benefits for children and adolescents. However, the prevalence of physical inactivity in school-aged children and adolescents remains high in China. Many factors impact student’s moderate- and vigorous- physical activity (MVPA). This study investigated the factors associated with student's MVPA level, and the determinants of the change of student’s MVPA behavior.Methods This is a longitudinal study with a 12-month follow-up. The study samples came from 2016 and 2017 Physical Activity and Fitness in China—The Youth Study, 1597 students (aged 9-18 years) from 31 primary, junior high, and high schools, in Ningxia province, were included. Factors about the individual and external environment were measured by questionnaire at baseline and after 12 months. Multiple logistic regression was analyzed to examine the factors that impact student’s MVPA level and the determinants of the change of student’s MVPA behavior.Results There is no difference in students MVPA level between 2016 and 2017. Boys were more physically active than girls at baseline(RR 1.55, 95%CI 1.10, 2.20), as well as children than adolescents but not significant(RR 1.33, 95%CI 0.93, 1.90). Neighborhood factors associated students MVPA level significant, but all of these factors were removed from the longitudinal model(neighborhood sport event, organization, facility, et al). Individual and school factors were important for students MVPA maintaining and positively development(i.e. gender, attitude, school PE class and PA time, et al).Conclusions In conclusion, both neighborhood and school factors affect students MVPA behavior, but school play a more meaningful role in maintaining and promoting students MVPA level. In addition, the internal motivation may be more important than external environment for students MVPA level. Our research provide some evidences for future intervention program for promoting MVPA behavior, but more large samples and objective-assessed researches should be conduct to explore the determinants of MVPA.
