Objectives: Our goals were (1) to describe motivation to exercise in people with paraplegia, comparing those who engage in regular physical exercise with those who do not and (2) to establish whether such motivation is related to the type of physical exercise practiced. Methods: This study was quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive research. One-hundred and six participants with chronic paraplegia completed the Spanish version of the Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2). Participants were divided into the non-exerciser group (NEG) and the exerciser group (EG). EG was subclassified into sports players (SPs) and physical exercisers (PEs). Results: Participants in both EG and NEG presented a similar motivation toward physical exercise. The most important motive to practice or to adhere to exercise in participants with SCI was ill-health avoidance (mean, 8.45; SD, 1.33). Fitness was the second most important motive (ie, nimbleness, flexibility, strength, and endurance). Motives that distinguished EG from NEG included enjoyment and revitalization [ t(41.9) = \u22122.54, p &lt; .05, r = 0.36], competition [ t(56.8) = 2.24, p &lt; .05, r = 0.28], and health pressure [ t(104) = 3.22, p &lt; .01, r = 0.30]. Furthermore, we found that motivation was related to the type of physical exercise performed. SPs showed a statistically significantly higher score for competition and enjoyment and revitalization than PEs ( p &lt; .05). Conclusion: Ill-health avoidance and fitness are the key motivational factors to practice and adhere to physical exercise. Motivation is related to the type of physical exercise performed. Health providers need to understand these factors to promote and sustain long-term adherence to exercise in the SCI population. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1310\/sci2601-01","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]],"date-time":"2020-02-06T22:36:37Z","timestamp":1581028597000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Motivation to Physical Exercise in Manual Wheelchair Users With Paraplegia"],"prefix":"10.46292","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Ferri-Caruana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Educaci\u00f3n F\u00edsica y Deportes, Facultat de Ciencies de l'Activitat Fisica i l'Esport, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Mill\u00e1n-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Educaci\u00f3n F\u00edsica y Deportes, Facultat de Ciencies de l'Activitat Fisica i l'Esport, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xavier","family":"Garc\u00eda-Mass\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament de Did\u00e0ctica de l'Expressi\u00f3 Musical, Pl\u00e0stica i Corporal, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soraya","family":"P\u00e9rez-Nombela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"E.U.
