TABLE 3.

Regression estimates of the structural equation model testing SDT and of the linear regression model testing the association between HbA1C and PA, and FPG and PA, each for different PA outcomes.

	Vigorous PA	Moderate PA	Step counts
Combined effects
Perceived competence → PA outcome	0.038	0.120*	–0.008
Perceived relatedness → PA outcome	0.109**	0.107*	0.066+
Perceived competence → Autonomous motivation	0.562***	0.562***	0.562***
Perceived relatedness → Autonomous motivation	0.362***	0.362***	0.362***
Perceived competence → Controlled motivation	0.369***	0.369***	0.369***
PERCEIVED relatedness → Controlled motivation	0.543***	0.542***	0.542***
Indirect effects: mediated via autonomous motivation
Perceived competence → PA outcome	0.131***	0.018	–0.029
Perceived relatedness → PA outcome	0.085***	0.012	–0.019

Regression estimates of the structural equation model are fully standardized. Combined effects refer to the combination of direct and indirect effects. The models control for covariates as reported in the “Materials and Methods” section. HbA1C was predicted in percentage points and FPG in mg/dl. p-value < 0.1 “+”, p < 0.05 “*”, p < 0.1 “**”, p < 0.005 “***.”
