This study tests the verification of a comprehensive explanatory structural regression model of physical activity based on the key personal and contextual motivational factors of the achievement-related choices model (Eccles, 2011). Participants were 429 adolescents, 233 (54.30%) boys and 196 (45.70%) girls, all aged between 11 and 19 (M = 14.93; SD = 2.11) from the Autonomous Regions of Cantabria and the Basque Country, in Spain. Results corroborate the direct influence of the variables expectations for success and subjective task value on the physical activity of adolescents. The variables general physical self-concept and attitudes and behaviors of significant others were found to be indirect predictors of this same behavior.

Keywords : physical activity; involvement; adolescence.
