Abstract
Despite people's awareness and interest in promoting physical activity in schools, it is not adequately addressed. One of the ways to do this is to pay attention to the motivational atmosphere and enjoy physical education and physical activity classes. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between motor motivation and children's enjoyment of physical activity. The statistical population of this research is all female students aged 9 to 12 in Khoy city. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using structural equations with the help of Smart PLS software. The results showed that the activity factor, motivation factor and adaptation factor have a positive effect on the enjoyment of physical activity in children. Based on this, the reason why some children are not active is because they do not enjoy physical activities. The results of the research can be considered in the planning of teachers, coaches, parents, etc., who deal with this group of children, to deal with reluctance in sports and not having a stable and resistant behavior to participate in physical activities, because with practice and mastery On skills, students' self-confidence increases and participating in exercises becomes more enjoyable for them. Therefore, there is a possibility that they will be more involved in future activities.
