This research aims to determine the Basic Psychological Needs of adolescents in Physical Education (PE) classes by applying validated questionnaires to establish their satisfaction with these classes. This investigation had a non-experimental-transversal design with a quantitative approach and correlational scope. One hundred students were sampled, 56 women and 44 men, from 14 to 18 years, of the ‘Febres Cordero’ and ‘Roberto Rodas’ Educational Units- The Measurement of Basic Psychological Needs (BPN) and Satisfaction Scale in Physical Education (SEF by its Spanish acronym) were applied. The highest average was obtained in the ‘fun’ dimension with a value of 3.66, and the lowest value was recorded for ‘boredom’ with 2.46. All dimensions correlated positively, except boredom, which related negatively. Students mostly have a high level of enjoyment, so it has been understood that by having contact with others and having a competitive activity, they have a higher motivation and tend to be more active; therefore, their satisfaction with performing physical activity is higher.
