Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the construct validity and reliability of college students' responses to the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-2) to be used in campus recreation programs and physical activity and wellness courses. The BREQ-2 is a 19-item questionnaire used to assess exercise motivation through the application of five subscales. Five hundred eighty-nine students completed the BREQ-2. Using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. A review of reliability coefficients indicated the internal consistency of factors would not be improved by removing survey items. The standardized parameter estimates of the five-factor model indicated the BREQ-2 is an adequate fit for measuring exercise motivation factors among this sample of American college students.
