Cronbach's alpha coefficient of internal consistency calculated for testing the reliability of the Turkish scale is found between alpha = 0.70 (amotivation) and alpha = 0.83 (external regulation). Total coefficient of internal consistency of scale is calculated as 0.80. In the light of these obtained data, it could be said that LMS is a valid and reliable assessment tool to evaluate the motivation rates of participation in recreational activities of Turkish participants.
