“…Motl and colleagues [16] used a 16-item version, revised for adolescent girls, which has also been modified for use with younger children [17]. An abbreviated 8-item version of the PACES has been used with adults of mixed ages [2,18] and was found to be invariant across samples of adult runners and cyclists [19]; however, this sample [19] consisted of mostly young and middle-age adults, who have been shown to differ from older adults in their motives for physical activity [20] and perceived experiences of emotion [13,21]. The full 18-item 1-factor structure of the PACES has only been evaluated in one study [22], and again, this study collapsed multiple age groups together, ranging in age from 25 to 75.…”

In addition to the fact that motives can vary greatly from individual to individual, people may have more than one motive for participation in a fitness activity; these motives can also be coming either from within the person (intrinsic motives) or from the outside (extrinsic motives) (Thatcher et al, 2009).…”

“…In the context of physical fitness, consumers participate in exercise and through this co-create service guided by a reason for the involvement. This reason, or motive, can be formed by various factors (Ryan et al, 1997;Afthinos et al, 2005;Mullen and Whaley, 2010) and may have an impact on the ultimate experience of a service. Indeed, Zeithaml and Bitner (2003) suggested that psychological factors such as an individual's motivations and self-competence also influence customers' perceptions of service quality and their satisfaction.…”
