Abstract des Autors

Current evidence indicates that psychological basic needs and autonomous forms of motivation predicts better emotional responses to exercise that, in turn, are associated with exercise adherence. This study aimed to analyze the indirect effects of quality of motivation on the relation between need satisfaction and emotional response to exercise. Nine hundred and five fitness club members (M = 36.8 years; SD = 11.96) completed questionnaires evaluating basic psychological needs, motivational regulations and emotional response. Psychological needs were associated with better scores on all parameters evaluated in the emotional response. The mediation analysis showed that intrinsic motivation partially explained how basic needs were associated with the psychological response. In the context of health clubs, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs related to exercise predicted better exercise emotional experiences. This association was partially explained by the increase in autonomous and decrease in controlled motivational regulations. Verf.-Referat
