We tested if motivation and psychological needs dimensions predicted the Archer-Garcia Ratio, a new and brief measure for exercise frequency computed using participants’ responses to two questions. The regression analyses showed that one motivation and one basic needs dimension were the significant predictors: introjected regulation and competence.
