RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND INTENTION TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE OUTSIDE SCHOOL BY SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT IN IJEBU-ODE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OGUN STATE

ABSTRACT

This study examined the relationship between intrinsic motivation and intention to be physically active outside school by

secondary school students in Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State. The target population of the study comprised all secondary school students in Ijebu-Ode

Local Government Area of Ogun State. However, simple random sampling technique was adopted in selecting two hundred and fifty (250) students in ten(10) public

and private secondary schools from the study area. A validated instrument (questionnaire) was used in gathering data from the respondents. Moreover, the

data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, percentages and Chi-square statistical tool. Results revealed that there is significant relationship between intrinsic motivation and students’ intention to be physically active outside school. There is significant relationship between adoption of self-determination theory and students’ intention to be physically active outside. In view of the findings, it was, therefore, recommended that parents

should be alive to their responsibilities of properly bringing up / motivating their children in the acceptable ways in the society and also to increase their

intend motive to be physically active. Students should be self-determined in engaging in physical activities
