The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the motives for undertaking physical activity (PA) and the intensity of PA in Polish adolescents.
The study included 1,231 students, 515 boys (age 16.2 ± 0.7 years) and 716 girls (age 16.3 ± 0.6 years). The participants were recruited from secondary schools in 20 conurbations throughout Poland. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form and the Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised were used.
In boys, all motives predicted a 10.4% variance in vigorous intensity of PA ((5, 509) = 11.822, < .001). Higher scores on competence and appearance motives for PA were found to be predictors of higher level of vigorous intensity of PA. In girls, all motives explained a 7.4% variance in vigorous intensity of PA ((5, 710) = 11.292, < .001). Higher scores on competence and appearance motives for PA were found to be predictors of higher level of vigorous intensity of PA.
This study shows that competence and appearance related motives for PA are important motivations for Polish adolescent girls and boys in undertaking vigorous intensity PA.
本研究旨在评估波兰青少年进行体育活动（PA）的动机与 PA 强度之间的关系。
该研究纳入了来自波兰 20 个城市的 1231 名学生，其中 515 名男生（年龄 16.2±0.7 岁）和 716 名女生（年龄 16.3±0.6 岁）。使用了国际体力活动问卷长卷和体力活动动机量表修订版。
在男生中，所有动机都可以预测剧烈 PA 强度的 10.4%方差（(5,509)=11.822， <.001）。较高的 PA 能力和外表动机得分被发现是剧烈 PA 强度较高的预测因素。在女生中，所有动机都可以解释剧烈 PA 强度的 7.4%方差（(5,710)=11.292， <.001）。较高的 PA 能力和外表动机得分被发现是剧烈 PA 强度较高的预测因素。
本研究表明，与 PA 相关的能力和外表动机是波兰青少年从事剧烈 PA 的重要动机。
