| description | 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. |

El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Actitud Hacia el Ejercicio Físico y los Deportes (AHEFD-11) en una muestra de estudiantes adultos puertorriqueños. Un total de 255 puertorriqueños participaron en este estudio de carácter exploratorio y psicométrico. Los resultados reflejaron una solución de tres factores como la más apropiada para explicar la varianza en las puntuaciones. Estos factores fueron identificados como actitud hacia el ejercicio físico, pasión por el deporte y disposición. Un total de 11 reactivos cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación y obtuvieron cargas factoriales apropiadas. El índice de consistencia interna alfa de Cronbach de la escala fue de .88. Además, se encontró una correlación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre la actitud hacia el ejercicio físico y el deporte, el bienestar psicológico y la satisfacción con la vida (r = .27, p < .001). AHEFD-11 permitirá nuevas investigaciones sobre el fenómeno del ejercicio y el deporte en Puerto Rico. Facultad de Psicología.
