Physical exercise and physical activity are inherent and essential agents in the evolution of active life and are associated with promoting health and well-being. This study aimed to examine the types of regulation of motivations and intentionality needed to be physically active in the future in university students from the Health Sciences branch of knowledge. Method: 351 university students with six university degrees in Health Sciences participated, 21.4% of whom were male and 78.6% women (M = 19.32; SD = 4.01). They answered the following questionnaires: “International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)”, “Behavioural Regulation of Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3)”, and “Intention to be physically active (MIFAU)”. Results: intrinsic motivation and integrated regulation were positively associated (rho = 0.759; p < 0.01), as were integrated and identified codes (rho = 0.645; p < 0.01). When relating the types of motivation regulation and the intention to be physically active, men show a significant difference compared to women. It stands out that physically active people who walk are the most unmotivated (p < 0.01). Conclusions: more self-determined regulations and intentionality to be physically active are related to different physical activity levels and the number of METs.
体育锻炼和身体活动是积极生活演变过程中固有的和基本的因素，与促进健康和福祉有关。本研究旨在探讨健康科学知识领域的大学生未来进行身体活动所需的动机和意图的调节类型。方法：351 名具有健康科学六个大学学位的大学生参与了这项研究，其中 21.4%为男性，78.6%为女性（M=19.32；SD=4.01）。他们回答了以下问卷：“国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）”、“运动行为调节问卷（BREQ-3）”和“体力活动意向（MIFAU）”。结果：内在动机和整合调节呈正相关（rho=0.759；p<0.01），整合和认同调节也呈正相关（rho=0.645；p<0.01）。当涉及到动机调节类型和体力活动意向时，男性与女性相比存在显著差异。值得注意的是，步行的积极参与者是最缺乏动力的（p<0.01）。结论：更自主的调节和体力活动意向与不同的体力活动水平和代谢当量有关。
