“…When the motivational climate in PE class is task-oriented, the students feel self-worth, content [38], highly motivated [39] and show effort and persistence to their pursuit [40]. The invigoration of the students' self-confidence promotes the desire to develop their skills; engagement in physical activities and positive attitudes toward exercise [41]. Contrariwise, the use of rivalry by the ego-oriented instructors produces negative emotions, such as pressure and anxiety [42].…”

Goal of this research is to suggest a typology of verbal aggressiveness, argumentativeness and motivational climate influence, pointing out examples of complementary types (namely containing no identical components) and nested types (containing identical components). Complete network analysis was conducted in a student class at the Dept. of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, University of Thessaly (N = 66). Standardized questionnaires were used. Network analysis and Principal Component Analysis were implemented using Visone software and SPSS, respectively. Main results were: in the typology of targeting, parameters of motivation climate, verbal aggressiveness and argumentativeness were combined in several types ("affable ambitious", "isolated victim", "isolated ambitious", "lightly victimized" and "severely victimized") which were partially complementary and partially nested into each other. These depict student profiles vary from quite socialized and invulnerable to only isolated and victimized. They also reveal the significance of seeking knowledge acquirement vs. performance. The typology of general involvement (in-and out-degree) contains types tending to be rather nested into each other than complementary which varies from quite integrative to purely deconstructive appearance. This typology depicts the connection of motivation climate (and the subsequently induced familiarity) with verbal aggressiveness without diminishing susceptibility to argumentation. The fact that the typology of targeting is composed of several complementary types while in the typology of general involvement mainly of nested ones, can be attributed to the structural clarity of the former ones (a typology focusing only on targeting is structurally clearer than a typology of general involvement).

“…Las etapas de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y el Bachillerato son un período muy apropiado para la labor de promoción del ejercicio físico, pues en ellas se produce un gran porcentaje de abandono de la práctica deportiva entre el alumnado. De hecho, identificar los factores motivacionales para la práctica del ejercicio físico se ha convertido en un importante campo de investigación en los últimos años (Cecchini, 2011;Jaakkola, Washington & Yli-Piipari, 2013;Martínez et al, 2012).…”

ResumenEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar las motivaciones que llevan a los adolescentes a incrementar la práctica del ejercicio físico. Para ello, se aplicó el cuestionario de Autionforme de Motivos para la Práctica de Ejercicio Físico (AMPEF) a 342 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato (M=15.02±1.86). Los resultados evidencian que prevención/salud positiva y diversión/bienestar, son los principales factores motivacionales en la práctica del ejercicio físico. Finalmente, con menor impacto en la motivación se encuentra el reconocimiento social/desafío y urgencias de salud. En conclusión, conocer los motivos que apoyan la práctica regular del ejercicio físico puede ayudar a reducir el sedentarismo. Palabras clave: motivación, ejercicio físico, adolescentes, AMPEF. AbstractThis paper aims to identify the motivations that lead adolescents to increase the practice of physical exercise. To do this, applied the questionnaire of Autionforme's reasons for the practice of physical exercise (AMPEF) 342 students of compulsory secondary education (M = 15. 02±1. 86). The results show that positive prevention/health and fun/welfare, are the main motivational factors in the practice of physical exercise. Finally, with less impact on motivation social recognition is / challenge and health emergency. In conclusion, ascertain the reasons which support the regular practice of physical exercise can help to reduce physical inactivity.

“…Despite the evidence of the usefulness of the self-determination theory in the area of Physical Education, few studies have revealed the relationship between motivation toward studies and the index of physical activity (Jaakkola et al, 2013).…”

“…With respect to these constructs, it seems that integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation correlate more strongly with moderate to vigorous physical activity (Aelterman et al, 2012;Jaakkola et al, 2013;Praxedes et al, 2016;Zhang, 2009;Zhang et al, 2011). In the study conducted by Dishman et al (2015), these results have been independent of biological maturity.…”

The study is aimed at determining the relationship between the index of physical activity and the motivation toward school tasks of Primary Education students. To this end, a descriptive, quasi-experimental design was employed. The instruments used for the study included PAQ-C and the Questionnaire on students' motivation toward their studies. Among the results, it should be noted that Primary Education students' motivation toward their studies is high, although the level of physical activity is relatively low for this age group. The level of physical activity is higher in boys than girls. The level of motivation, as well as achievement motivation, and causal attributions of achievement are higher in girls, but self-efficacy is higher in boys. The higher the level of physical activity practice, the higher the level of motivation toward their studies, but also the higher the achievement motivation, causal attribution and self-efficacy. Children with greater obesity levels have less motivation. According to these results, it is important to design actions that encourage the regular practice of physical activity, especially among girls. This should be done in different contexts, beyond the subject of Physical Education and in different populations. Interventions should take into account family and environmental factors, or the local environment and its resources.
