abstract = {This study developed a Structural Equation Model (SEM) in order to identify the associations
between motivational climate, emotional intelligence, adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD),
Physical Activity (PA), and some health indicators in a sample of future teachers. A non-experimental
and cross-sectional study was carried in 775 university students (22.22   3.76), using as main scales
the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire (PMCSQ-2), Emotional Intelligence
Inventory adapted for the sport context, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A),
Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED), 20 meter Shuttle Run Test (20mSRT), and percentage of
lean and fat mass as calculated by the Tanita TBF300®®(Tanita-Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) electronic
scale. The results showed a positive association between emotional intelligence and task climate,
whereas the relationship with an ego climate was low. Ego-oriented climate was positively related to
MD and high levels of PA. Emotional intelligence was directly related to higher levels of PA and the
level of adherence to MD. PA was negatively associated with fat mass and positively with lean mass
and VO2MAX. Task-oriented motivational climate showed a positive relation with the emotional
intelligence of young people. Ego-oriented motivational climates were related to higher rates of
physical-sport engagement and better diet quality.},
