Syftet med studien var att undersöka om elevernas upplevda studiemotivation kunde prediceras utifrån fysisk aktivitet, ålder eller kön. Metoden för denna kvantitativa studie var att deltagarna ombads besvara ett kortare frågeformulär kopplat till deras upplevda studiemotivation och fysiska aktivitetsvanor. I enkäten svarade deltagarna även på frågor som rörde ålder och kön. Det insamlade datamaterialet analyserades med en multipel regressionsanalys, med fysisk aktivitet, kön och ålder som oberoende variabler, och studiemotivation som beroende variabel. Resultaten av undersökningen visade att den oberoende variabeln kön signifikant kunde förutsäga nivån av upplevd studiemotivation. Resultatet att kön signifikant kunde predicera nivån av upplevd studiemotivation var i linje med tidigare studier, men resultatet att fysisk aktivitet inte kunde predicera studiemotivation var oförenligt med tidigare studier. Resultatet att ålder inte kunde predicera studiemotivation var omdebatterat bland tidigare studier. / The purpose of this study was to investigate if students' perceived study motivation could be predicted by physical activity, age, or gender. The method for this quantitative study was that the participants were asked to answer a shorter questionnaire linked to their perceived study motivation and physical activity habits. In the questionnaire, the participants also answered questions related to age and gender. The data was analyzed using a multiple regression analysis with physical activity, gender, and age as independent variables, and study motivation as the dependent variable. The results of the survey showed that the independent variable gender could significantly predict the level of perceived study motivation. The result that gender significantly could predict the level of perceived study motivation was in line with previous studies, but the result that physical activity could not predict study motivation was inconsistent with earlier studies. Meanwhile, the result that age could not predict study motivation was debated among earlier studies.
