Enjoyment can be seen as the most important affective consequence of quality physical education (PE) (Cairney et al., 2012; Dishman et al., 2005). For example, enjoyment has been proposed to be an important factor increasing physical activity in PE and leisure time within children and adolescents (Wallhead and Buckworth, 2004; Wang et al., 2010). In this study enjoyment is determined as positive general affect that relates to feelings of fun, liking and pleasure (Scanlan and Simmons, 1992). The achievement goal theory (AGT; Nicholls, 1989) and the self-determination theory (SDT; Deci and Ryan, 1985) represent widely utilized frameworks in research concerning enjoyment in PE (e.g., Ommundsen and Eikanger-Kvalø, 2007; Standage et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2010).
