AB Background: Different authors have established that each type of motivation to sportscan favor healthy habits in men and women, being important to promote more self-determinedmotivations. (2) Methods: The present study was designed to assess selected psychometric propertiesof the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire and study the relationship betweenmotivational climate, physical activity and gender in adolescents. Research was conducted with asample of 2134 Spanish children (12.5 +- 1.4 years). (3) Results: The final scale was formed of twofactors. The fit of factor 1 (ego climate) was 0.867, the fit for factor 2 was 0.851 (task climate) andthe overall fit was 0.765. Structural equation modelling identified a negative relationship betweenego climate and task climate. This relationship was strong in women. A direct relationship wasfound between the ego climate and task climate in relation to physical activity in men and women.Nevertheless, this positive relationship was stronger in men. (4) Conclusions: PMCSQ-2 test is a goodinstrument to measure the motivation towards sports practice. Moreover, it is important to promoteadaptive types of motivation in physical education classes in order to generate pleasure for learningand long-term physical activity engagement.
