Abstract(s)
The current work was planned to build up an original motivational involvement, based on Self-Determination Theory
and Social Cognitive Theory, to improving physical activity in disadvantaged adolescents. The theoretical structure
has three main issues: social context (perceived independence, perceived social sustain, input and enjoyment);
cognitive mediators (perceived option and self-efficacy); and motivational course (intrinsic motivation, commitment
and positive self-concept). Formative evaluation information was composed by organization through daily forms
right through the 16-week program and during observational data completed, by independent trained observers,
during 4 weeks. The results shown information concerning the meaning of the cognitive suitability of the physical
activity and motivational actions, the environmental context for promoting relationships, strategies definition for
increasing intrinsic rather than extrinsic reinforcement, and stimulate methods for preventing social gender conflicts
to keep an appropriate level of social support by formative evaluation procedures.
