Universidad de Extremadura (Spain). 2. Universidad Miguel Hern ndez de Elche (Spain). Motivational characteristics are influential in shaping adolescents' desire to persist in Sport or to discontinue their Sport participation. Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) was utilized as the theoretical framework for this study. This Theory examines whether sustained participatory involvement, defined as continued participation in the Sport through the next year, was influenced by individuals' self-determined motivation and by the fulfillment of the three basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
