| Sumario: | The following study analyses the psychometric prop-erties of the Attitudes Towards Physical Exercise and Sport Scale (AHEFD-11) in a sample of Puerto Rican adults. A total of 255 Puerto Ricans participated in this exploratory and psychometric study. The results reflected a three-factor solution as the most appropriate to explain the variance in the scores. These factors were identified as attitude to phys-ical exercise, passion for sport and disposition. A total of 11 items met the discrimination criteria and obtained appropri-ate factor loadings. The reliability index (Cronbach’s alpha) of the scale was .88. In addition, a positive and statistically significant correlation was found between attitude towards physical exercise and sports, psychological well-being and life satisfaction (r = .27, p < .001). The AHEFD-11 will al-low new research on the phenomenon of physical exercise and sports in Puerto Rico. |
