- Desenvolvimento do Desporto e Qualidade de Vida – Ensino, Investigação e IntervençãoPublication . Figueiredo, Abel; Rodrigues, José; Murta, Luís; Bezerra, Pedro; Damásio, Sérgio; Figueiredo, Teresa; Fonseca, TeresaO presente livro é fruto das comunicações e conferências realizadas durante o 2º Fórum da REDESPP, realizado no Politécnico de Leiria a 5 e 6 de novembro de 2018. Apresenta diversos sentidos, confirmando a diversidade temática sustentadora do olhar dos investigadores das Escolas com formação na área do Desporto: a investigação sobre a atividade física, o bem-estar e a saúde num cruzamento de interações e influências; os estudos sobre a educação física e o desporto no ambiente escolar; os trabalhos sobre a formação dos profissionais que promovem a qualidade de vida, e a intervenção profissional nos contextos do turismo e do lazer; e a pesquisa no desenvolvimento da performance, no ambiente do treino desportivo.

- Understanding needs satisfaction and frustration in young athletes: factor structure and invariance analysisPublication . Monteiro, Diogo; Cid, Luis; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Fonseca, Teresa; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Silva, Luís M.; Rodrigues, FilipeSports research has been focused on the assessment of basic needs satisfaction, considering its absence as a representation of needs frustration. However, recent findings have suggested needs satisfaction and frustration as asymmetrical factors leading to differentiated outcomes. An accurate measurement of needs poses itself as a crucial aspect, facilitating coaches’ understanding of athlete’s motivational processes. This study aimed to examine the psychometric proprieties of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) in a sample of Portuguese athletes. A multigroup analysis was conducted of gender, sport type, age, and years of sports practice. Additionally, needs satisfaction and needs frustration were tested as predictors of behavioral regulations examining the nomological validity of the BPNSFS. Data from 594 Portuguese athletes (38.6% female; Mage = 15.21; SD = 0.97) that represent two different sports (football and swimming) were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling procedures were followed to test the factor structure and nomological validity of the scale, respectively. Analyses indicated that the six-factor model provided an adequate fit (Comparative Fit Index = 0.947, Tucker–Lewis Index = 0.936, Standardized Root Mean Square = 0.039, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.048 (CI 90% = 0.043, 0.054)). Moreover, the multigroup analysis suggested invariance in the observed structure across groups. In addition, findings indicated a strong prediction between needs satisfaction and autonomous forms of motivation, whereas needs frustration predicted significantly controlled forms of motivation. The sport-adapted BPNSFS in a sample of Portuguese athletes seemed to be an adequate measure for the assessment of basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration. Our findings suggested that this scale may be worth testing in future research in the sport context.
