2022
Engagement in physical activity plays a central role in the prevention and treatment of childhood overweight/obesity. However, some children may lack the skills and confidence to be physically active. This 3-year follow-up study aimed to form profiles based on cardiorespiratory fitness, actual motor competence, perceived motor competence, physical activity, and weight status, and to examine if these profiles remain stable from late childhood to early adolescence. All these variables were annually assessed in 1,162 Finnish schoolchildren (girls = 583 and boys = 564, Mage = 11.27 ± 0.32 years). Latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles and latent transition analysis to examine the…
Behavior regulations and motives to participate in physical activity of Finnish team sports athletes
2014
The study examined the motivation to participate and behavior regulation in team sports among Finnish athletes. It explored differences across gender and among various team sport types. One hundred and seventy five girls and 142 boys (aged 12 to 24 years old) participated in the study. Motives to participate were measured on the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS, Morris & Rogers, 2004), while behavior regulations were measured on the Behavior Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ, Lonsdale, Hodge & Rose, 2008). Others' expectation was excluded from calculations due to low reliability. Participants scored higher on mastery, enjoyment and physical condition in PALMS scal…
The relationships among motivational climate, perceived competence, physical performance, and affects during physical education fitness testing lesso…
2021
Despite the prominence of fitness testing in school physical education (PE), there is a sparsity of research examining the antecedents of students’ affective experiences during fitness testing lessons. This study aimed to investigate the associations among task- and ego-involving motivational climates, perceived physical competence, physical performance, enjoyment, and anxiety during two different types of PE fitness testing lessons. Altogether, 645 Finnish students from Grade 5 (50% boys, Mage = 11.2, SD = 0.36) and Grade 8 (47% boys, Mage = 14.2, SD = 0.35) participated in two fitness testing lessons with different content (lesson 1: 20-meter shuttle run test and a test of flexibility; l…
Young Finnish athletes' participation in organized team sports
2015
The purpose of the present dissertation is to extend our understanding of young athletes’ sport participation process from a psychosocial perspective by examining the reasons why young athletes persist in or withdraw from sport, and how the coach–athlete relationship and motivational aspects influence their participation behaviour in organized sport. The problem setting was based upon achievement goal theory, and self-determination theory. The analyses of this study were based on two data sets, including 2,014 and 2,243 young Finnish football, ice hockey and basketball players, aged 15 to 16 years. Participants responded to a multi–sectional questionnaire incorporating the Finnish versions …
Yksilölajien edustajien subjektiiviset kokemukset huippu-urheilu-uran taustalla vaikuttaneista motivaatiotekijöistä

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää huippu-urheilijoiden henkilökohtaisia kokemuksia siitä, mitkä motivaatiotekijät ovat edesauttaneet heidän uransa jatkumista urheilijapolun eri vaiheissa. Tavoitteena oli saada yksityiskohtaista informaatiota urheilijoiden kokemuksista ja näkemyksistä heidän urheiluaan tukevista asioista. Selvitimme tutkimuksen avulla myös urheilijoiden subjektiivisten näkemysten yhteyttä tunnettuihin motivaatioteorioihin ja aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa esiin nousseisiin tuloksiin ja havaintoihin. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä toimi kuusi suomalaista, 19-27-vuotiasta, urheilijaa, jotka ovat saavuttaneet menestystä niin kansallisella kuin kansainväliselläkin tasolla. Tutkimus…

Analiza strukturalna Skali Motywacji Sportowej SMS-28
2018
Motywacja stanowi istotny czynnik wysokich osiągnięć sportowych. Badania nad motywacją są wykorzystywane w nauce i praktyce psychologicznej do opisu, wyjaśnienia i przewidywania zachowania sportowców w kontekście treningu sportowego i zawodów. Ponieważ motywacja może różnicować zawodników różnych dyscyplin sportowych należących do różnych pokoleń i regionów kulturowo-społecznych, konieczne jest prowadzenie badań walidacyjnych nad narzędziami służącymi do pomiaru motywacji w kontekście sportowym. Niniejsze badania miały na celu przeprowadzenie analizy strukturalnej Skali Motywacji Sportowej SMS-28 stworzonej w Kanadzie ponad dwadzieścia lat temu. W badaniu uczestniczyło 170 sportowców reprez…
