Sumario:This study aimed to verify the predictive effect of motivation over the mindfulness state in sports practice and the mediating role of passion in this relation. A hundred and seventy-six athletes (M=27.05±9.06 years old) responded to the Motivation in Sport, Passion, and State of Mindfulness scales. Structural equation modeling showed that intrinsic motivation positively affected the experience of mindfulness in sport, and this relationship was moderated by harmonious passion. The results suggest two processes of engagement in sports practice, one emanating from self-determined behavior, mediated by harmonious passion and resulting in mindfulness experience, and another coming from extrinsic motivation, resulting in an obsessive passion for the activity.
