Abstract
El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue analizar el poder
de predicción del clima motivacional percibido, la satisfacción de las
necesidades y la motivación intrínseca sobre la intención de seguir siendo
físicamente activo de los jóvenes jugadores de baloncesto. Se administró un
cuestionario a 261 jugadores de baloncesto de edades comprendidas entre
los 12 y los 17 años. Los resultados del análisis de regresión mostraron que
el clima motivacional que implica tarea, la competencia, la relación con
los demás y la motivación intrínseca predecía de forma positiva y estadísticamente
significativa la intención de ser físicamente activo (F = 24.02;
p < .001), obteniendo una varianza explicada del 32%. Coincidimos con
otros estudios, en destacar la importancia de que los entrenadores intenten
fomentar un clima motivacional de implicación a la tarea en sus deportistas,
así como facilitar la satisfacción de sus necesidades psicológicas básicas y
la motivación intrínseca, ya que estas estrategias favorecen la intención de
continuar con la práctica deportiva. Por tanto, climas en las que los entrenadores
fomenten y valoren el esfuerzo, la mejora personal, el aprendizaje cooperativo,
las relaciones sociales entre los compañeros, donde el deportista se
sienta competente y motivado, van a ser propicios para que estos deportistas
mantengan la práctica.
The primary objective of the present study was to analyse the prediction power of the perceived motivational climate, the satisfaction of the needs, and the intrinsic motivation on the intention to continue being physically active in young basketball players. A questionnaire was administered to 261 basketball players between the ages of 12 and 17 years. The results of the regression analysis demonstrated that the task-oriented climate, competence, relatedness, and intrinsic motivation positively and statistically significantly predicted the intention to be physically active (F = 24.02; p < .001), obtaining an explained variance of 32%. We concur with other studies in highlighting the importance of coaches fostering a task-oriented climate for his or her athletes, as well as facilitating the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation, since these strategies favour the intention to continue with sports practice. Therefore, climates in which the coaches foster and value effort, personal improvement, cooperative learning, social relationships between teammates, and where the athlete feels competent and motivated, are ideal for athletes to continue practicing.
