Sumario:This study analyzed the relationships between perceived motivational climates, psychological mediators, selfdetermined motivation and dispositional flow in lifesaving sport. The study variables also examined differences according to gender, age and daily practice time. A total of 283 athletes with a mean age of 17.27 years (SD = 3.36) who completed the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2), the Motivational Mediators in Sport Scale (EMMD), the Sport Motivational Scale (SMS) and the Dispositional Flow Scale (DFS) participated in the study. The results revealed that perceived task and ego-involving motivational climates, perceived competence and autonomy, and selfdetermined motivation positively predicted dispositional flow with 50% of the variance explained. Men reported higher scores in autonomy, competence and dispositional flow than women did. Older athletes displayed a higher level of perceived autonomy than younger ones. The results are discussed in connection with the motivational factors important to improving dispositional flow.
