Purpose. The purpose of the study was to determine whether perceived competence, autonomy and relatedness are correlated with behavioral regulations proposed in the self-determination theory; and to examine effects of these regulations on the intention to fully participate in physical education lessons and on experiencing boredom during them. Basic procedures. The study used a crosssectional analysis. A total of 293 middle- and high-school students took part in the experiment. Participation in the study was anonymous and voluntary. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (path analysis). Main findings. Out of the theorized psychological mediators of behavioral regulations only perceived competence and relatedness turned out to be statistically significant. Perceived competence was the strongest predictor of both intrinsic motivation (positive) and amotivation (negative). As a consequence of behavioral regulations, intention to participate was positively predicted by intrinsic motivation and negatively by amotivation, whereas boredom was negatively predicted by intrinsic motivation and positively by amotivation. Conclusions. To support students' intentions to fully participate in physical education classes and to reduce boredom experienced during them PE teachers should promote students' intrinsic motivation to participate in physical education. This can be possible when perceived physical competence in the PE context is supported and positive interpersonal relationships between students are promoted.

The study was aimed at examining the usefulness of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in predicting exercise intentions and exercise of women in fitness classes. On the theoretical plane it broadens state of knowledge on the TPB, but the findings are also important for the development of more effective interventions to promote and maintain exercise engagement of women in fitness centers. The study was carried out in the second quarter of 2016 in two fitness centers in Katowice, Poland. The participants were 95 women aged 17–66 (M = 37.40 ±12.15). The obtained data were analyzed with the use of structural equation modelling (path analysis). Significant predictors of intention to exercise were perceived behavioural control and attitude, with the strongest effect observed in the former. The findings of the study suggest that interventions should focus on increasing the level of control over women’s exercise behaviours and shaping attitudes toward them.
