Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

 

"Self-determined Regulation, Achievement Goals and Sport Commitment in Spanish Masters Swimmers".

The study addresses an interesting and relevant topic, it is well written, well structured and clear. The methodology is adequate to the objectives and can be replicated to analyze the motivational characteristics of athletes in other sports. The results are well presented with coherent conclusions. However, I suggest to reduce the number of keywords.

 

Kind regards

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear authors,

About your paper titled: Self-determined Regulation, Achievement Goals and Sport Commitment in Spanish Masters Swimmers.  

First, thank you for the opportunity to review this work. I would like to provide some suggestions:

Keywords: Please avoid using "MASTERS" too many times in the section. To me, one time is sufficient. 

Introduction:

During your introduction, you should cite recent articles about the relevant topic. My major concern is "What are academic contributions of the current study? To me, the authors simply took some popular concepts from the previous studies and measured in Spanish context.   

The authors should provide improved literature review to justify the importance of this study rather than to just investigate those concepts in the specific context.

Discussion: 

Please work on practical implications from the findings of this study.

Reviewer 4 Report

Overall, this was a good attempt. However, please address the following issues/questions:

- Re-state the study aims for clarity.

- in a separate section, isolate and explain each theoretical framework...and then in your discussion of results, explain how you utilized the stated theories.

-check on spelling. There are multiple typos throughout the manuscript (See section 2.1 (desing' instead of 'design' for example.

-expand Section 5 - 'Conclusion' to include future studies, study gaps, and/or the potential impacts of the study (pertaining to policy, theory, and training, etc.)

See above comments.
