    El propósito del presente estudio fue examinar el papel predictivo del balance decisional y los diferentes tipos de motivación sobre el disfrute con el ejercicio en una muestra de 419 participantes con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 55 años (Medad = 31. 02; DT = 11. 32; 50. 1% varones) que viven en el área metropolitana de Monterrey (México). Se realizó un análisis de regresión jerárquica para predecir el disfrute con el ejercicio. Los resultados indicaron que el balance decisional predijo el 26% de la varianza del disfrute con el ejercicio, añadiendo los tipos de motivación un 15% de dicha varianza (R 2 total = . 41). Se concluye que la motivación auto-determinada es una variable que contribuye significativamente a la predicción del balance decisional sobre el disfrute con el ejercicio.

    The aim of the present study was to examine the role of decisional balance and different types of motivation in predicting exercise enjoyment in a sample of 419 participants from the metropolitan area of Monterrey (Mexico), aged between 18 and 55 (Mage= 31.02 years; SD = 11.32; 50.1% males). A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to predict exercise enjoyment. Results indicated that decisional balance predicted 26% of exercise enjoyment variance, adding the different types of motivation a 15% of the variance (total R2 = .41). In conclusion, self-determined motivation makes a significant contribution to the prediction of exercise enjoyment by decisional balance.
