Abstract
The aim of the study was to test the effect of an autonomy support teaching style on subject interest, academic competence, basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation in adolescent students in physical education classes. The sample consisted of 142 students aged 12 to 14, out of whom 84 students were in the intervention group and 58 in the control group. After an intervention with autonomy support for 22 classes, differences were found in favour of the intervention group in satisfaction of basic psychological needs, autonomous motivation, interest and academic competence in physical education classes. The study provides evidence of the effectiveness of autonomy support programs in physical education classes, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical strategies and educational programs that promote the development of basic psychological needs, self-determined motivation and their positive consequences in relation to physical education classes.
