The sample consisted of 631 adults (504 men and 127 women) who practiced nature and adventure sports. Participants answered an assessment protocol composed of a sociodemographic form and the Exercise Motivation Inventory - 2 (EMI-2) questionnaire. Among leisure and competition practitioners, variations were analyzed using standardized effect size differences (ES) with 90% Confidence Interval (CI). The following scale was used to interpret the magnitude effect: 1,2, large. The probabilities were tested considering the smallest worthwhile changes (SW, 0,2 x between SD subjects). The following scale was used for qualitative probabilities: 25-75%, possibly; 75-95%, likely; 95-99% very likely; e> 99% almost certain. Differences in variables were tested regarding the following factors: Social Recognition, Positive Health, Weight, Stress Management, Revitalisation, Enjoyment, Challenge, Affiliation, Competition, Health Pressures, Health Avoidance, Appearance, Strength & Endurance and Nimbleness. Only the variables Enjoyment and Competition had moderate magnitude when comparing leisure to competitive practitioners. When comparing within gender, we found that the variable Competition is more noticeable in females compared to leisure having a probability of almost certain with large magnitude on the Enjoyment variable -29.2% [-36.8;-20.6]; ES: -2.17 [-2.89;-1.45] and competition -50.7% [-60.6;-38.4]; ES: -1.52 [-2.00;-1.04]. Understanding the motives that fit the practice of a particular sport is essential to tailor a strategy and make sports plans more appealing and interesting for their practitioners. The Enjoyment and Competition factors were the most significant, which influenced the gender differences between and when comparing the profile of leisure and competitors.
