Abstract

This study tested a predictive model of perception of supportive autonomy coaching on the relatedness mediator, this mediator on intrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation on enjoyment and enjoyment on the fitness / health motive. A sample of 682 practitioners of non-competitive physical activities with a mean age of 35.50 ± 11.70 years, participated in the study. The results of structural equation model showed a positive prediction of supportive autonomy coaching on the relatedness mediator, relatedness on intrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation on enjoyment and enjoyment on the fitness/health motive with 51% of variance. These results do appreciate the importance of promoting the enjoyment on practitioners to enhance the healthy physical practice.
