Abstract

 Introduction: Nowadays, increases the importance of psycho-social variables such as the passion in different behavioral contexts, for example, sports and education.

Objetives: The goal of the study was to analyze the evolution of the aquatic passion that has made the PAMS’ practittioners through the SDT. The data of this research come from semi-structured interviews to 49 women.

Method: The sample was divided into two groups, an experimental group formed by 28 women (M = 39.04; SD = 12.06), with an average experience of 3.05 years, and a control group made up of 21 women (M = 36.42; SD = 10.01), with an average experience of 2.29 years practising physical exercise in the aquatic environment of a large Spanish city.

Results: After the intervention with a program based on the SDT, both groups’ perceived benefits toward the passion, but the experimental group perceived a greater harmonious passion toward the program thanks to the internalization of the concept through the activities experienced, highlighting the novelty and a good relationship between practitioners.

Conclusions: The information offered in this study may be of interest to promote the aquatic physical exercise healthy programs of the future professionals.
