The frustration of novelty and basic psychological needs as predictors of maladaptive outcomes in physical education
Background The need for novelty has been recently proposed as a candidate need within basic psychological needs theory (BPNT). In physical education (PE), research has shown that meeting students’ need for novelty is often positively associated with enhanced (and negatively associated with impaired) pupils’ well-being. Frustrating students’ novelty has also been negatively related to achieving multiple positive outcomes in PE. However, no researc…
Autonomy support in an exercise intervention with colorectal cancer patients during chemotherapy
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) has emerged as an important element of supportive care for cancer patients, but few patients engage with exercise. Considering that autonomy support is associated with healthy lifestyles, it would be useful to know the specific autonomy-supportive techniques that can help to encourage PA in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This study aims to qualitatively explore autonomy support perceptions through a self-deter…
An image, an idea
This study explores the guiding principles for promoting physical activity (PA) based on the perspectives of internationally recognized experts. Using qualitative methodologies and visual techniques, including photo-elicitation, present research gathered insights from 50 experts across 13 countries. Findings highlight the importance of adopting multilevel and multicomponent approaches that integrate individual, social and environmental factors. A…
Beyond basic psychological needs
This study explored basic psychological needs (BPN) experiences, motivation to continue living, and psychological well-being in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients during adjuvant treatment. Qualitative data from 30 participants (ten CRC patients, ten relatives and ten healthcare professionals) were collected by performing two sets of semi-structured interviews. Three categories were identified: (a) BPN frustration, (b) hope as a source of motivatio…
“You Measure Us and You Depress Us”
This study explores adolescents’ subjective experiences when facing body measurements at school, performed to evaluate the effects of a school-based intervention to promote physical activity. Three semi-structured interviews ( n = 3) and two focus groups ( n = 7 and 3) were conducted with adolescents after measuring some variables related to their weight and adiposity. Observational data ( n = 88) collected by the two researchers in charge of the…
Effects of a physical activity program on post-bariatric patients
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the psychosocial benefits that 10 post-bariatric patients (nine female, 31-59 years) perceived from their participation in an exercise program grounded in self-determination theory. Qualitative data were collected through observations and interviews. Participants reported many factors which facilitated basic psychological need satisfaction such as the instructors caring about their opinion, affection, f…
Healthism and the experiences of social, healthcare and self-stigma of women with higher-weight
The influence of body discourses on adolescents’ (non)participation in physical activity
Drawing on semi-structured interviews with older adolescents, this article examines how healthism, ideal body discourses and performative body discourses influence their (non)participation in physical activity (PA) and their identity construction concerning exercise, sport and physical education. We illustrate that body transformation through PA, and related slim body desire and the fear of masculinised female bodies, affect adolescents’ decision…
Are Active Video Games Associated With Less Screen Media or Conventional Physical Activity
This study analyzed the time adolescents spend on active video games, sedentary screen media, and conventional physical activity as well as the interrelationships between these variables. Data were collected from 570 Spanish adolescents (15–16 years old) who completed a self-report questionnaire. A path analysis was carried out to analyze the relationships among the different variables. Time in television, video games, and physical activity were …
Exploring socio-ecological factors influencing active and inactive Spanish students in years 12 and 13
This paper explores socio-ecological factors and their interplay that emerge from a qualitative study and influence adolescents' physical activity and sport participation. A total of 13 boys and 7 girls active and inactive adolescents, from years 12 and 13 and different types of school (state and private), participated in semi-structured interviews. It followed a purposeful sampling selection from participants who participated in a previous large…
When Physical Activity Participation Promotes Inactivity
This article analyses negative experiences in physical education and sport reported during qualitative interviews of a group of inactive adolescent Spanish boys and girls. The purpose of this analysis is twofold. First and most important, it seeks to give voice to these young people reporting negative experiences and connect them to contexts of physical activity and sport in which they occurred in order to show how, ironically, inactivity is an u…
