Resumen

Buchholz y Artinian (2009) definieron la actividad física y la categorizaron en tres niveles: bajo, moderado y alto. El triatlón es una actividad que normalmente combina la natación, el ciclismo y la carrera en una sola prueba, por lo que es de nivel alto y se considera una modalidad difícil, que requiere una intensa planificación y entrenamiento. Los tres deportes se realizan de forma consecutiva sin interrupción. A medida que los deportistas aficionados muestran un interés creciente por los eventos de larga distancia y la participación en el triatlón es cada vez mayor, el objetivo de este artículo es intentar comprender la popularización de un deporte tan difícil como el triatlón. La pregunta de investigación es ¿qué motiva a la gente a participar en el triatlón y por qué la gente siente la necesidad de participar en una competición deportiva tan exhaustiva? Se decidió buscar respuestas a las preguntas de investigación con una revisión de la literatura sobre el problema y sobre la participación en el triatlón. Se encontró que la base de la mayoría de las investigaciones es la teoría de la autodeterminación. Muchos autores mencionaron en su investigación la Escala de motivación de maratón (MOMS).
