Physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet are remaining unresolved issues among young people. According to the World Health Organization, young people do not get enough exercise during the week, and physical education classes are the best way to promote healthy habits. This study aims to analyze how the role of the teacher influences the frustration of psychological needs, coping strategies, motivation, and the adoption of healthy eating habits through the Mediterranean diet and the regular practice of physical activity. The study involved 1031 boys and 910 girls between the ages of 13 and 18. To explain the relationships between the different variables included in this study, a model of structural equations has been developed. The results showed that autonomy support negatively predicted the frustration of four psychological needs. The failure to meet four psychological needs negatively predicted resilience. Likewise, resilience positively predicted autonomous motivation, and this positively predicted the Mediterranean diet and the practice of physical activity. Thus, the results obtained in the present study are in line with those of various studies wherein physical education classes were seen to help consolidate healthy living habits.
体育活动和健康、均衡的饮食仍然是年轻人未解决的问题。根据世界卫生组织的说法，年轻人在一周内没有得到足够的锻炼，而体育课是促进健康习惯的最佳方式。本研究旨在分析教师的角色如何通过地中海饮食和定期进行体育活动影响心理需求受挫、应对策略、动机以及健康饮食习惯的采纳。研究对象为 13 至 18 岁的 1031 名男孩和 910 名女孩。为了解释本研究中包含的不同变量之间的关系，建立了一个结构方程模型。结果表明，自主性支持负向预测了四种心理需求的受挫。四种心理需求得不到满足负向预测了适应力。同样，适应力正向预测自主动机，而自主动机又正向预测了地中海饮食和体育活动的实践。因此，本研究的结果与各种研究结果一致，这些研究表明体育课有助于巩固健康的生活习惯。
