Abstract(s)
The Theory of Self‐determination (Deci & Ryan, 2002) is based on a motivational domain and leads
to the importance of meeting basic psychological needs of perception of autonomy, perception of
competence and perception of social relations in the appearance of self‐determined behaviour,
which are those that cause series of consequences as the future commitment to sports or exercise
(Palmeira, 2010) and what kind of affection promotes to them a perspective of a life satisfaction
(Andrews & Withey, 1976). According to studies relating the degree of self‐determination based on
different training habits and athletic history, veterans athletes revealed high levels of intrinsic
motivation, moderate extrinsic motivation and almost inexistence in terms of amotivation once that
for these athletes the most important aspect of this sport is the satisfaction by overcoming their
own limits during training and then to overcome opponents in competitions, hoping for a medal, or
even a record (Sancho & Ruiz‐Juan, 2015). This exploratory study aims, in the context of veteran
sport, i) characterise the motivation and satisfaction of basic psychological needs to practice judo;
ii) to know the level of satisfaction with life; and iii) to understand which variables of selfdetermination
influence levels of affection and satisfaction with life.
