Summary: Better understanding of older patients' perspectives on barriers and enablers in physical activity promotion during hospitalization can help develop strategies to increase in-hospital physical activity. Physically dependent patients were more frequently encouraged by professionals to be physically active compared to independent patients, and focusing on physical barriers and motivational enablers for older patients may help increase their physical activity during hospitalization.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of depression on physical activity readiness and reported activity levels in patients with heart failure. The results showed that depression completely mediated the effect of physical limitation on physical activity and partially mediated the effect of self-efficacy, while intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for physical activity had independent effects not mediated by depression. Patients with heart failure should be screened for depression as it can impact their readiness for physical activity.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of depression on PA readiness and self-reported PA in patients with HF. The results showed that depression completely mediated the effect of physical limitation on PA and partially mediated the effect of self-efficacy on PA. Therefore, patients with HF should be screened for depression as it can impact their physical and psychological readiness for PA.

Summary: This study provides a quantitative synthesis of the effect of Self-determination theory (SDT) based instructional interventions on the motivational regulations of participants in organized physical activity. The findings suggest that SDT-based instruction has a positive effect on intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, and a negative effect on external regulation and amotivation. However, it does not have an effect on integrated regulation and introjected regulation. Moderator analyses indicate that various factors, such as intervention type and control group, study length, participant age, and study quality, influence the size of the effects on the outcomes.

Summary: This study tested the predictive power of the Physical Activity Self-Definition (PASD) model among low-active adults, showing that the revised model had medium predictive power. Perceived wanting and perceived ability may be more salient for low-active adults when engaging in physical activity and regarding themselves as physically active individuals.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between self-regulated motivation, frustration of basic psychological needs, and barriers to physical activity based on self-determination theory. Significant differences were found in age and gender regarding barriers to practicing sport and physical activity. Practical applications were proposed to enhance autonomy in motivation and reduce barriers.

Summary: The study found that intrinsic motivation is a consistent predictor of physical activity, directly and indirectly. In the multi-group analysis of stages of change, a negative relationship between relatedness and physical activity was observed in the low active group, while competence was positively associated with intrinsic motivation and physical activity, and intrinsic motivation did not predict physical activity.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of employee motivation on participation effort in internal crowdsourcing activities in Chinese information technology organizations. The findings suggest that the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) significantly impact employees' intrinsic motivation, with autonomy having the most significant effect. Furthermore, autonomy and competence needs are positively associated with extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is positively related to employee participation effort, while extrinsic motivation indirectly influences participation effort through intrinsic motivation.

Summary: The study examined the relations between physical self-concept, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and physical performance in children aged 7-8. Physical self-concept and both types of motivation were found to be positively related to physical performance, with physical self-concept serving as a significant mediator between motivation and performance. The results suggest that interventions aiming to improve children's physical performance should focus on enhancing their physical self-concept and intrinsic motivation.

Summary: This study found that certain teaching strategies may lead students to reduce their relatedness to others, impacting their participation and positive emotions. In physical education, meeting students' needs can enhance their positive emotions and participation, and teaching in line with self-determination theory may improve student outcomes.
