RUIZ-JUAN, Francisco  y  PIERON, Maurice. Goal Orientation in Physical Education and Physical Activity Level on Mexican Students. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp.235-247. ISSN 1657-9267.

Are assessed goal orientations in physical education of Mexican students and differences by sex, age, involvement in regular exercise and practice level? Self- administered questionnaire about habitual physical activity was administered in 1083 high school Mexican students (12/16 years; error ± 3%, CI = 95.5%) using a multistage sampling stratification by proportional affix and by conglomerates. Factor analysis confirmatory supported the hypothesized theoretical model of two factors for TEOSQ-12EF showing excellent goodness of fit of the original model. Both boys and girls have primarily a task orientation, with boys more ego-oriented than girls. With increasing levels of physical activity, increases task and ego orientations.
