- Adaptation and validation of the portuguese version of the healthy life styles questionnairePublication . Batista, Marco; Jiménez Castuera, Ruth; Leyton, Marta; Lobato, Susana; Aspano, MariaThe aim of this study was the adaptation and validation of Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire (EVS), of Jimenez Castuera (2004) adapted of Wold (1995), using an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model, with a sample of sports veterans. In the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis part 684 Portuguese veteran athletes of both genders, aged between 30 and 90 years (M=43.78 SD=8.61), of which 547 male subjects and 137 subjects were female, which are competitors of various sports. The main results showed that the psychometric qualities of both the exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, proved the adequacy of adaptation performed, demonstrating that the factor structure (Adaptation to Sports Questionnaire EVS: 3 factors/20 items) It has quite acceptable levels of validity (?2 = 172.117, df=41, p = .000, ?2/g.l. = 4.190, CFI = .966, IFI = .966, MFI = .909, GFI = .955, AGFI = .927, RMR = .049, SRMR = .043, RMSEA = .068), with reasonable levels of internal consistency of the three primary factors (eating habits =.80; tobacco consumption =.91; resting habits =.84). This led us to conclude that the adaptation to the Sports of the Portuguese version of the EVS can be used with high confidence in the assessment of healthy lifestyles in the sports context.
- Application of two intervention programs in order to optimize motivation and to improve eating habits in adult and elderly womenPublication . Leyton, Marta; Batista, Marco; Lobato, Susana; Aspano, Maria; Jiménez Castuera, RuthThe objective of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of two intervention programs: a physical exercise program with strategies to support the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness); and a physical exercise program with nutritional education in order to improve the lifestyles of adult and elderly women who practiced functional maintenance. The Self-Determination Theory was applied as the theoretical framework. A sample of 135 women aged between 40 and 88 years (59.66 ± 10.76) who enrolled in a 12-week functional maintenance program and attended 24 exercise classes took part in the study. A quasi-experimental study was performed where strategies to support the three basic psychological needs were applied to one group and strategies for the improvement of eating habits were applied to the other group. No strategy was applied to the control group. The main results showed na improvement in experimental groups I and II when compared to the control group regarding the variables of autonomy, competence, intrinsic regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation and eating habits, after the application of the intervention programs. The conclusion is that both intervention programs were successful with this project's participants and that it is crucial to promote such intervention programs in functional maintenance classes, as they foster healthy lifestyles among participants.
- Diferenças em função do género das formas de motivação autodeterminada de atletas veteranosPublication . Batista, Marco; Jiménez Castuera, Ruth; Lobato, Susana; Leyton, Marta; Aspano, MariaO objetivo foi analisar as diferenças, em função do género, das formas da motivação autodeterminada e necessidades psicológicas básicas de atletas veteranos. A amostra foi composta por 320 atletas veteranos portugueses de ambos os géneros, de idades entre os 30 e os 60 anos (M=44 DP=8.6), competidores de várias modalidades. Como instrumentos de medida utilizou-se o Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ) e o Basic Psychological Needs Exercise Scale (BPNES). A análise de dados revelou que não existiam diferenças significativas quanto às formas de motivação autodeterminada, mostrando os atletas masculinos valores mais elevados de amotivação, regulação introjetada e motivação intrínseca. Porém, as atletas femininas apresentaram diferenças significativas a seu favor, na satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas. Este estudo apresenta-se como um contributo para a compreensão da função do desporto na promoção de bem-estar na população de veteranos, sendo de interesse aumentar a satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas no género masculino.
- Modelo transcontextual de la motivación en la predicción de estilos de vida saludablesPublication . Batista, Marco; Leyton, Marta; Lobato, Susana; Jiménez Castuera, RuthEl presente trabajo examinó la aplicación del Modelo Transcontextual de la Motivación en la predicción de estilos de vida saludables de atletas veteranos. Se utilizó una muestra de 682 atletas veteranos portugueses de ambos géneros, de edades comprendidas entre los 30 y los 76 años (M=43.64; DT=8.25), dónde a través de cuestionarios se ha medido: la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la motivación, las variables del comportamiento planeado y los estilos de vida saludables. De las conclusiones alcanzadas en este trabajo, son de destacar la relevancia de fomentar la necesidad psicológica básica de relación social, ya que ésta favorecerá la motivación intrínseca, promoviendo un mayor control del comportamiento sobre las intenciones de los practicantes, generando así mejores hábitos alimenticios, hábitos de descanso y menor consumo de tabaco.
- Motivación y ansiedad precompetitiva en balomano - diferencias entre jugadores de categoría de alto rendimiento y de base.Publication . Leyton M.; Batista, Marco; López, Jesús; Lobato, Susana; Jiménez Castuera, RuthLos deportistas, cuando se están preparando para la competición, a veces tienen que enfrentarse a diferentes tensiones que pueden pro- vocar que el deportista no sea capaz de alcanzar las metas que se ha fijado. Por lo tanto, nuestro objetivo fue determinar las diferencias en- tre jugadores de balonmano de alto rendimiento y categorías de base, en función de los tipos de motivación, las necesidades psicológicas bá- sicas y de ansiedad precompetitiva. Para ello, contamos con una muestra de 45 atletas de diferentes cate- gorías y edades comprendidas entre 14 y 37 años (M= 23.16, DT= 7.5). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: el Cuestionario de Evaluación del Regulación de Conducta en Contexto del Ejercicio (BREQ-3), la Escala de Satisfacción de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas (PNSE) y la Escala de Ansiedad CSAI-2R. Los resultados muestran que los atletas de clase de base muestran una mayor desmotivación y la necesidad psicológica básica para la competición es mayor en los atletas de alto rendimiento. Se obser- Abordagens Académicas de Investigação 56 vó que en la variable autoconfianza es menor en los atletas de clase base, la variable ansiedad somática y variable de ansiedad cognitiva son menores en los atletas de clase base que en los atletas de alto ren- dimiento. Por lo tanto, como máximas de trabajo, hay que aumentar la autoconfianza y la motivación autónoma y disminuir la ansiedad.
- Motivational variables and correlation between healthy lifestyles of students in Physical EducationPublication . Carrón, Maria; Lobato, Susana; Batista, Marco; Leyton, Marta; Jiménez Castuera, RuthIn our work we will focus on correlation between variables of lifestyle related to health and motivation ones, using the theoretical psychological needs (BPN) and autonomous motivation, which contributed to an explanation of variance in healthy behaviors, such as physical activity and sport participation.
- Prediction of intent to be active physically through the theory of self-determinationPublication . Carrón, Maria; Lobato, Susana; Batista, Marco; Leyton, Marta; Jiménez Castuera, RuthThe main objective of this study is to know motivational variables and healthy lifestyles which predict the intention to be physically active, using the Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985). Several authors (Fernández-Ozcorta, Almagro, & Saenz-López, 2015) showed students who have satisfied their basic psychological needs (BPN) and more self-determined motivation will have a greater intention to remain physically assets in the future. The sample consisted of 187 Spanish students in physical education classes (87 boys and 100 girls), belonging to three schools of Secondary Education of Badajoz, aged between 13 and 23 years, average age 15.5 years (SD = 1.70). We used perceived Locus Scale Causality in Physical Education (PLOC Scale), Scale measuring basic psychological needs (BPNES), Questionnaire Healthy Lifestyles (EVS), and scale of measurement of intentionality to be physically active (MIFA). We used analysis of reliability or internal consistency of the items and a regression analysis using the method of introducing block.

Algunas de las limitaciones que se encon- traron fueran: no encontrar una muestra de mujeres, la mayoría de los jugadores que deseen participar eran clase base y la edad de los participantes.
- Self-determined motivation and life satisfaction in portuguese veterans athletesPublication . Batista, Marco; Jiménez Castuera, Ruth; Leyton, Marta; Aspano, Maria; Lobato, SusanaThe aims of this work were to determine correlations and predictive variables, between the levels of motivation, basic psychological needs and life satisfaction of Portuguese veteran athletes. The sample consisted in 684 Portuguese veteran athletes of both genders, aged between 30 and 90 years (M = 43.78 DP = 8.61), competitors of various modalities. As instruments we used the Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ), the Basic Psychological Needs Scale Exercise (BPNES), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Positives and Negatives Affections Scale (PANAS). It was applied the bivariate Pearson correlation test and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the veteran athletes present a good selfdetermination for the sport practice, being their welfare levels in life satisfaction related to the same self-determination, but rather dependent on the affections produced by sports. This study is presented as a contribution to understanding the role of sport in promoting wellness in veteran sports population.
- Transcontextual model application in the prediction of veteran judo athletes’ life satisfactionPublication . Batista, Marco; Jiménez Castuera, Ruth; Leyton, Marta; Lobato, Susana; Aspano, MariaBackground and Study Aim: Despite recognised benefits of regular physical activity for health, the percentage of individuals linking with a physical activity practice sufficient to confer health benefits is low. The aim of current work is knowledge about effects of an extension of the motivation trans-contextual model application, specifically in the prediction of life satisfaction by veteran judo athletes. Material and Methods: It was used a sample of 99 Portuguese veteran judo athletes of both genders, aged between 30 and 76 years (M = 42.61 ±9.75), where through questionnaires were measured: basic psychological needs satisfaction, motivation, planned behaviour variables and life satisfaction. Results: The structural equations model showed that autonomy perception positively and significantly predicts autonomous motivation. In its turn it positively and significantly predicts intentions. Conclusions: Life satisfaction is positively and significantly predicted by intentions. Results authorise to emphasise the importance of fostering autonomy, since this will favour autonomous motivation, promoting a higher behavioural control over the practitioners’ intentions, thus generating a higher life satisfaction.
