Description
Sébastien Poirier, François Trudeau, and Julie Houle study leisure-time physical activity and motivation in police cadets. Their 2024 study uses self-determination theory to link how much activity cadets do with why they do it.
Leisure activity matters for the health and performance of law officers, yet many officers do none. In this cross-sectional study, 188 cadets completed a survey on activity level and motivational regulation. On average they reported about 395 minutes of activity per week. Only twelve cadets, a small share, fell below the usual recommended minimum of 150 minutes per week. Forms of motivation were compared across activity levels.
