Abstract
To maximize student participation within school-based physical activity opportunities requires purposeful collaboration among teachers and other community professionals. Teachers using mountain biking in their physical education programs reported students showing interest in biking opportunities outside of physical education (Blevins, 2019).
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a mountain biking program on middle school students’ motivation in physical education and to participate in extracurricular biking opportunities. The trans-contextual model of motivation (TCM: Hagger et al, 2003) was used as a theoretical model to examine this relationship.
