In line with self-determination theory (SDT: Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2002) the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness has been identified as an important predictor of behavior and optimal functioning in various contexts including exercise. The lack of a valid and reliable instrument to assess the extent to which these needs are fulfilled among Portuguese exercise participants limits the evaluation of causal links proposed by SDT in the Portuguese exercise context. The aim of the present study was to translate into Portuguese and validate the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES: Vlachopoulos & Michailidou, 2006). Using data from 522 exercise participants the findings provided evidence of strong internal consistency of the translated BPNES subscales while confirmatory factor analysis supported a good fit of the correlated 3-factor model to the data. The present findings support the use of the translated into Portuguese BPNES to assess the extent of basic psychological need fulfilment among Portuguese exercise participants.
根据自我决定理论（SDT：Deci 和 Ryan，1985 年，2002 年），自主性、能力和关联性等基本心理需求的满足被认为是行为和各种情境（包括运动）中最佳功能的重要预测因素。缺乏一种有效和可靠的工具来评估葡萄牙运动参与者满足这些需求的程度，限制了 SDT 在葡萄牙运动背景下提出的因果关系的评估。本研究的目的是将基本心理需求在运动中的量表（BPNES：Vlachopoulos 和 Michailidou，2006）翻译成葡萄牙语并进行验证。使用来自 522 名运动参与者的数据，研究结果表明，翻译后的 BPNES 分量表具有很强的内部一致性，而验证性因素分析则支持相关的 3 因素模型与数据的良好拟合。本研究结果支持使用翻译成葡萄牙语的 BPNES 来评估葡萄牙运动参与者基本心理需求满足的程度。
