“…In fact, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, something can be considered as "interesting" if it keeps someone's attention due to being unusual, exciting, or because it presents many ideas; on the other hand, "fun" is associated with something giving pleasure, particularly if not at all serious [56]. Although these two concepts have been linked in research on exercise [57,58], they are not always directly correlated. Indeed, a content presented by a PE teacher may be full of ideas and requiring full attention from their students, yet not be fun [59].…”

Introduction. Intrinsic motivation is essential for establishing life-long positive behaviors. In Physical Education (PE), this variable may have a significant impact on students’ choice of adhering to an active lifestyle both in the short and long term. Many tools have been developed for the assessment of intrinsic motivation, among which the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) was built based on the Self-Determination Theory. The aim of this study is to examine a version of the IMI adapted to PE (IMI-PE). Methods. A total of 660 customers of a Sports Service Center responded to the IMI-PE and 39 individuals carried out a test–retest of the tool within two weeks. Results. The initial model including the original pool of items showed low indexes of goodness of fit. However, the removal of item 6, 8, 13, and 14 led to excellent parameters for the four-factor model (CFI = 0.96, and SRMR = 0.0420). Internal consistency and reliability analyses confirmed the robustness of such model. The final IMI-PE, comprising 14 items distributed into four factors, represents a robust assessment tool for the analysis of intrinsic motivation in PE.

Background Sport enjoyment is one of the most important factors in physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE) domains. It is not only beneficial for regular participation but also has a positive effect on mental health. Due to these benefits, this study aims to understand the relationships between PA, two forms of enjoyment, and the dimension of self-concept. Methods The sample consisted of 315 students (Mage=12.63). The Self-Description Questionnaire-I was used to measure the domains of self-concept. Enjoyment was measured with two scales. The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale reflects extracurricular PA enjoyment, and the Factors Influencing Enjoyment of Physical Education Questionnaire reflects school PE enjoyment. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess vigorous, moderate, and walking types of extracurricular PA enjoyment. Results Hierarchical multivariate regression analysis revealed that vigorous PA predicted physical ability (β = 0.19) and physical appearance (β = 0.15). PA enjoyment was a significant predictor of general self-concept (β = 0.29), physical ability (β = 0.28), physical appearance (β = 0.16), peer relation (β = 0.16), and parental relations (β = 0.14). PE enjoyment significantly predicted general school (β = 0.17), physical ability (β = 0.27), peer relations (β = 0.21) and parental relations (β = 0.22). Furthermore, boys scored at a higher level on most of self-concept domains. Conclusions The present study suggested that enjoyment plays a more important role in self-concept than PA. PE enjoyment mainly strengthens boys’ self-concept, but PA enjoyment is an important predictor of general self-concept in both genders. It is concluded that extracurricular PA enjoyment is beneficial, but increasing enjoyment of physical education could increase girls’ self-concepts as well.

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the self-assessment of the mental and physical health of young women from the effects of programmed recreational activities in a three-month period. The sample is composed of 35 women (20 - 40 years old). For a sample of variables in the assessment of mental and physical health, standardized instruments were used: THE HAD scale - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (for mental health assessment) and EQ thermometer (for physical health assessment) The results of the overall condition of all participants before the start of the experimental procedure, 24 participants had no symptoms of depression, 8 participants had a borderline condition, and 3 participants with depressive disorder. After three months of recreational treatment, 30 of the participants have no symptoms of depression, 3 participants have borderline condition and 2 participants with depressive disorder. When it comes to the self-assessment of anxiety in the initial state, it was noted that 26 participants of the experiment had no signs of anxiety, 6 participants had a borderline state of anxiety, while 3 participants had anxiety disorders, of which 2 participants slightly above the limit state and one participant with a particularly high number of points indicating a more severe state of anxiety. At the end of the experiment, 31 participants had no signs of anxiety, 4 had a borderline state and 1 person with a severe anxiety condition. Before the start of recreational activities, one participant rated their physical health as extremely poor and 3 people rated their health as poor. The largest number of participants before the experiment, 16 of them, rated their physical health slightly above average, 10 women rated their physical health as excellent and 5 women rated themselves the best imaginable physical health. After the experiment, only 4 participants estimated lower and average self-health, above average 6, 20 women claimed to have excellent health and 5 participants in the experiment claimed to be in the best physical health imaginable. Keywords: Women, recreation, self-assessment, depression, anxiety, physical health.
