Understanding motivation for exercise can be helpful in improving levels of physical activity. The Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) measures distinct goal-oriented motivations. In this study selected measurement properties of the Dutch version (PALMS-D) are determined. Forward-backward translation was used for cross-cultural adaptation. Construct validity of the PALMS-D was assessed in five subsamples completing the PALMS-D and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3). The study population consisted of five samples recruited from different populations; samples consisted of runners, hockey players, soccer players, participants in medical fitness, and a sedentary group of young adults with low activity. A total of 733 participants completed the questionnaire: 562 athletes and 171 non-athletes. Exploratory for Analysis confirmed the original eight factors. Internal consistency of the subscales was high, except for Others' expectations. The a priori determined hypotheses related to differences between athletes participating in different sports were confirmed, as well as the hypothesis related to differences between amateur athletes, patients in medical fitness, and non-active participants. It was concluded that the Dutch version of the PALMS is an acceptable questionnaire with which to evaluate the individual motivation of athletes in the Netherlands, and discriminates between different leisure athletes, patients in medical fitness, and non-active youths.
了解运动动机有助于提高身体活动水平。体育活动和休闲动机量表（PALMS）测量不同的目标导向动机。本研究旨在确定荷兰语版本（PALMS-D）的部分测量特性。采用跨文化翻译对量表进行了文化适应性调整。在五个子样本中评估了 PALMS-D 的结构有效性，这些子样本分别完成了 PALMS-D 和运动行为调节问卷（BREQ-3）。研究人群由来自不同人群的五个样本组成，样本包括跑步者、曲棍球运动员、足球运动员、参加医疗健身的参与者和活动量低的久坐年轻人。共有 733 名参与者完成了问卷：562 名运动员和 171 名非运动员。探索性分析证实了最初的八个因素。除了他人期望，各分量表的内部一致性都很高。与不同运动项目的运动员之间差异相关的先验假设得到了证实，与业余运动员、医疗健身患者和非活跃参与者之间的差异相关的假设也得到了证实。结论认为，PALMS 的荷兰语版本是一种可以接受的问卷，可以评估荷兰运动员的个体运动动机，并可以区分不同的休闲运动员、医疗健身患者和非活跃青少年。
