Motivation keeps adolescents progressing towards achievement of an outcome, such as attainment of regular and adequate physical activity (PA). For adolescents to develop a habit of engaging in PA research is needed to understand motivation. Conceptual clarity about motivation is lacking, but is needed to identify its importance.
