Abstract :In the present study, it was aimed to determine the mediating effect of intrinsic or extrinsic regulation factors on the effect of high school students\\\' healthy lifestyle beliefs on their leisure time exercise participation. The population of the study consists of high school students in all secondary education institutions within the Ministry of National Education in Konya Beysehir, while the sample consists of high school students in three secondary education institutions (Anatolian High School, Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School and Science High School) randomly selected from these secondary education institutions. The research utilized quantitative research methods and relational survey model. While collecting the research data, the Healthy Lifestyle Belief (HLBB) Scale, the internal regulation and external regulation sub-dimensions of the Behavioral Regulations in Exercise-2 Scale, and the Leisure Time Exercise Participation (LCEP) questionnaire were used. Model-1 and model-2 established within the scope of the research were analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM/SEM). According to the findings of the study, it was found that SDBI had a positive and significant effect on internal regulation and a negative and significant effect on external regulation. It was found that intrinsic regulation positively and significantly affected SZEK, but the effect of extrinsic regulation was insignificant. While it was found that the SDBI positively and significantly influenced the SEER through the mediation of intrinsic regulation, which is the motivation to engage in exercise behavior, extrinsic regulation did not have a significant effect on the interaction between SDBI and SEER.
