Abstract (English): This study investigated the relationship between physical activity engagement and the fulfillment of basic psychological needs among university students, with a specific focus on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. A quantitative research design, specifically descriptive correlation, was employed to examine this relationship. A total of 1,129 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. The study utilized the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to measure physical activity engagement and a Basic Psychological Needs scale to assess the fulfillment of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data, including the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results revealed significant positive correlations between physical activity engagement and the fulfillment of competence and relatedness, while no significant relationship was found with autonomy. These findings suggest that physical activity has a positive impact on students' psychological well-being, particularly in terms of their competence and connection with others. However, the study also highlights that while physical activity contributes to psychological needs, further attention is needed to explore how specific types of physical activity might influence autonomy. The implications of these results emphasize the importance of fostering environments that encourage physical activity to promote students' psychological health and well-being. Overall, the study concludes that physical activity is crucial in supporting basic psychological needs, especially competence and relatedness, and can be a key factor in enhancing students' overall development and success.

Abstract (Spanish): Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar la relación entre la participación en la actividad física y las necesidades psicológicas básicas entre los estudiantes universitarios, centrándose en la autonomía, la competencia y la relación. Para examinar esta relación se empleó un diseño de investigación cuantitativa, específicamente correlación descriptiva. Se seleccionó a un total de 1.129 encuestados mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. El estudio utilizó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ) para medir la participación en la actividad física y una escala de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas para evaluar el cumplimiento de la autonomía, la competencia y la relación. Para analizar los datos se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial, incluido el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados revelaron correlaciones positivas significativas entre la participación en la actividad física y el cumplimiento de la competencia y la relación, mientras que no se encontró una relación significativa con la autonomía. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la participación en actividad física tiene un impacto positivo en el bienestar psicológico de los estudiantes, particularmente en términos de su competencia y conexión con los demás. Sin embargo, el estudio también destaca que, si bien la actividad física contribuye a las necesidades psicológicas, se necesita más atención para explorar cómo tipos específicos de actividad física podrían influir en la autonomía. En general, el estudio concluye que la actividad física desempeña un papel crucial en el apoyo a las necesidades psicológicas básicas, especialmente la competencia y las relaciones, y puede ser un factor clave para mejorar el desarrollo y el éxito general de los estudiantes.
