Validation of the 21-item Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) among Finnish late adolescents
Taken together results suggest that the PALMS-21 is a valid and reliable measure of motives to engage in physical activity and sport. As such, the PALMS-21 could be used to provide personalized advice to individuals or to monitor the dynamics in participation motives over time, which could guide the development of effective interventions.
