The present study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in behavioral regulations among teenage football players throughout a competitive season, with three measurement points (T1, T2, and T3). The total sample size for the study comprised 108 participants (78 male; 30 female). The participants' mean age was 14.31 (SD = 1.48). A MANOVA repeated measures analysis was performed within the group for all six behavioral regulations based on self-determination theory. The results of the study revealed noteworthy patterns in the behavioral regulations and intrinsic motivation scores over the competitive season. Identified regulation demonstrated a significant increase from T1 to T3 ( < 0.01, η = 0.13). Intrinsic motivation displayed a significant decrease over the same period from T1 to T3 ( < 0.01, η = 0.12). On the other hand, amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, and integrated regulation did not show significant changes between the three time points. The findings have practical implications for coaches and sports practitioners, as they highlight the need to create a supportive and autonomy-promoting environment to sustain athletes' intrinsic motivation throughout a competitive season. Also, recognizing the increase in identified regulation can inform strategies that align team goals and training sessions with players' individual values, thereby enhancing their commitment and dedication to the team's success.
本研究旨在调查青少年足球运动员在整个赛季中的行为调节动态变化，共设置了三个测量点（T1、T2和T3）。该研究的总样本量为108名参与者（78名男性；30名女性）。参与者的平均年龄为14.31岁（标准差 = 1.48）。基于自我决定理论，对所有六项行为调节进行了组内多变量方差分析重复测量。研究结果揭示了整个赛季中行为调节和内在动机得分的显著模式。从T1到T3，认同调节显著增加（< 0.01，η = 0.13）。在同一时期，从T1到T3，内在动机显著下降（< 0.01，η = 0.12）。另一方面，无动机、外部调节、内摄调节和整合调节在三个时间点之间没有显著变化。这些发现对教练和体育从业者具有实际意义，因为它们强调了需要营造一个支持性和促进自主性的环境，以在整个赛季中维持运动员的内在动机。此外，认识到认同调节的增加可以为使团队目标和训练课程与球员个人价值观相一致的策略提供信息，从而增强他们对团队成功的承诺和奉献精神。
