The young participants in this research are high school students and take physical education classes in each of their 6 semesters for the conclusion of upper secondary education, prior to their undergraduate studies, male and female participants aged between 15 and 19 years old at the time of the investigation, the classes in which the students participate are taught from Monday to Friday from 7H00 to 15H00. This schedule is the same in which they are carried out when the classes are in face-to-face format. The questionnaire applied was the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport-2 (PMCSQ-2). The students who have been part of this research are regular students who participate in the classes of the 5 physical education teachers who work on campus and who teach their classes virtually or remotely.
