Resumen: This study examined the benefits of a circumplex model-based training program for Physical Education (PE) teachers and their students. Seventeen PE teachers and their students (n = 813) were randomly assigned to the experimental or the control group as part of a three-wave longitudinal design. Improvements in (de)motivating teaching approaches and need-based experiences were found among both teachers and students. Additionally, positive changes were observed in students' outcomes both inside and outside PE classes, as well as in teachers' job-related outcomes. The results underscore the importance of developing motivational training programs not only for improving students’ motivational outcomes but also for teachers.
