Resumen

A study has been carried out to verify the main motivations for the practice of physical-sport activity in adolescents, both at school and outside it. To this end, a sample of 345 students from 1st to 4th year of ESO, aged between 12 and 16 years old, has been taken. The questionnaire was used by those who formulated the self-perception test (CSAPPA) whose independent variables to be treated were the following: Adequacy, Predilection and Enjoyment. While the dependent variables to be related with the previous ones are: sex, age and BMI. With regard to the results obtained, with respect to the adaptation and predilection section, women and subjects aged 12-13 years present higher values with respect to men and the other age groups compared; on the other hand, the enjoyment section also shows relative differences in favour of women. The 16-year age group offers the lowest results. In conclusion, the students and the calculation of students whose age range is between 12 and 13 years of age, offers more motivational favourability towards the practice of physical-sports activity, relating the variables dependent on sex, age and BMI with the independent variables of Adequacy, Predilection and Enjoyment
