The Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ) is a validated tool used to assess the different types of motivation influencing an individual’s exercise behavior. It is grounded in Self-Determination Theory and helps measure motivational regulation across a continuum from external to intrinsic motivation.

Commonly asked questions
The BREQ-3 measures six subtypes of motivational regulation: amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation, and intrinsic motivation. These subscales reflect varying degrees of autonomy in an individual’s exercise motivation.
The intrinsic motivation subscale represents the most autonomous form of motivation, as it reflects engaging in exercise for inherent enjoyment and personal satisfaction.
