%X This article presents the validation of the ¡®Echelle de Motivation envers l¡¯Activit¨¦ Physique en contexte de Sant¨¦¡¯ including the six forms of motivation underlined by self-determination theory. Study 1 underlines the content validity of a pool of 30 items (N£¿=£¿20). Study 2 supports the six-factor structure validity of the 18-item Echelle de Motivation envers l¡¯Activit¨¦ Physique en contexte de Sant¨¦ (N£¿=£¿309). Study 3 (N£¿=£¿191) confirms structure validity, as well as concurrent validity and 2-week temporal reliability. The Echelle de Motivation envers l¡¯Activit¨¦ Physique en contexte de Sant¨¦ can be considered as a valid and reliable tool to use in prevention or rehabilitation contexts
