An instrumental and empirical study was made. On the instrumental study, factorial analysis was made and internal consistency of the questionnaires was verified. On the empirical study, extracurricular sports practise negatively correlates with Respect and Interest on Adversary factor; Regarding motivational climate, Ego Climate negatively correlates with every factor in a statistically significant way, except with Progression and Effort on training; Task Orientation Motivational Climate correlates with every factor, been this correlation negative with Ego Orientation Climate and with the Number of Hours of Weekly Training. Mean difference depending on gender shows that males give higher values on Ego Orientation Climate and females on Respect and Interest on the Adversary factor. Analysis of variance showed statistically significant results depending on the sport played, with higher values on Task Climate, Progression on Training and Respect and Interest on the Adversary for those who play artistic activities, on Interest on Training and Respect for Social Conventions for those who play opposition sports; depending on the amount of time for weekly sports practise, those who spend more than five hours per week give higher values on Task Climate and those who only spend one or two hours per week on Respect and Interest on the Adversary.
