Motivation To Participate

AbstractMotivation is likely a pivotal factor contributing to sports participation. In India, because of the unsupportive sports/physical education environment, girls participate less in sports and other physical activities than boys. Therefore, embedding a planned healthy environment with good social support may maximize and, consequently, increase their participation in various sports and physical activities. Considering this unabated dialogue and assuming that motivation is a pivotal need for female sports participation, this study examined the differences in motivation to participate in sports among female adolescents across three age categories: early (11–14 years old), middle (15–18 years old), and late (19–21 years old) adolescence. A total of 528 female adolescents from Assam, India participated in the study. Participation in physical education courses was the criterion for the participants, and they were invited to complete the Participation Motivation Questionnaire. A factor analysis with direct oblimin rotation using the maximum likelihood extraction method yielded a 23-item, five-factor structure that exhibited moderate internal consistency. An ANOVA revealed significant differences across all three age categories regarding all the extracted factors. Moreover, t-tests of all sub-factors identified significant differences between the two achievement levels of district-level and inter-district-level athletes. This study provides sound psychometric and comparative results that are useful for education and formative reviews in applied settings and research purposes. It also serves as a measurement tool for embedding motivation to participate in physical activities and sports among female adolescents and the development of strategic ideas to assist female adolescents from less privileged areas to experience healthy growth and a healthy lifestyle.

The aim of this study was to investigate the digital game addiction levels of the high school students, according to some variables such as sports participation, gender, place of accommodation and level of income.The sample group comprises 931 high school students (508, %54,6 female and 423, %45,4 male) from several villages, districts and Kutahya city center (a town in the west part of Turkey with the population of 325.000). They participated to the study voluntarily. In addition to personal information from prepared by the researcher, the game addiction scale developed by Lemmens et al. (2009) and adapted to Turkish by Irmak and Erdogan (2015) was used as a data gathering tool. It is a five point Likert type scale and has one factor and seven items. In order to evaluate the results the descriptive statistical methods (percentage (%), frequency (f) and t-test, one-way ANOVA) were used.As a result, the significant difference was determined regarding digital game addiction [t (931)=-3,76; p=0,00]  between the students who participate to the sports activities and who do not. So, the non-participant students found more game addicted. According to the gender, male students were determined more addicted than females [t (931)=9,45; p=0,00]. No significant difference was determined in terms of the place where the students lived (p=0,56, p>0,05). Finally, the significant difference was determined in terms of the income levels, [f (931)=3,07; p=0,01] on behalf of  the students who had good income level. They found more addicted.

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the extent of tracking of physical activity (PA), sports participation (SP), and sedentary behaviors (SB) over four years of high school education among the Croatian Physical Activity in Adolescence Longitudinal Study (CRO-PALS) cohort. Methods: In this investigation, participants were 844 high school students (15.6 years at baseline; 49% girls). The SHAPES questionnaire was used to assess PA, SP, and SB at ages 15, 16, 17, and 18 and tracking was assessed using generalized estimating equations. Results: Tracking coefficients for PA were similar in both sexes, ranged from 0.49 to 0.61, and indicated moderate tracking, while the tracking of SB tended to be somewhat higher over the four years of follow-up (β = 0.60–0.72). Youth that participated in sports at baseline had a 16 to 28 times higher odds of continued participation at follow-up, depending on the type of sport and gender. Finally, both low physical activity and high screen time showed strong tracking in both genders. Conclusion: PA and SB tracked moderately between ages 15 and 18. Moreover, the strong tracking of low PA and high screen time indicates that the detection of these risk factors at the beginning of high school should be advocated.

The Impact

AbstractThe current study aimed to assess the impact of sports participation on undergraduate admissions decisions at universities, colleges, and conservatoires in the United Kingdom. A between subjects, experimental design was employed. Participants from providers of undergraduate courses completed an on-line experiment that required them to make a decision on one of three randomly assigned undergraduate applications written for the study: one without sport participation included (control) and two modified versions with sport participation included (one for team sports and one for individual sports). Participants were asked to decide whether to make an offer or reject the application. Significant differences were found between the control and sport-modified applications for one and two grade differences overall, as participation in sport elevated the undergraduate application. As this study was delimited to sport participation, the findings cannot be generalized to other extra-curricular activities. Future researchers could extend this investigation by examining the economic and social impact of participation in sports at secondary school post-University.

Las Mujeres

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva durante el ocio de la juventud que cursa Educación Secundaria Postobligatoria no universitaria (ESPO) en España (de edades entre 15 y 20 años). Concretamente, se estudia la práctica de ocio deportivo en función del género y se analizan las características de la misma (frecuencia, organización, compañía, etc.). Para ello se realizó un diseño de investigación cuantitativo en el que se aplicó un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc a una muestra representativa de 2694 estudiantes españoles de ESPO, que señalaron el ocio deportivo como su opción preferida de ocio (n= 901). En general, la modalidad de ocio preferida por la juventud española es la deportiva. Las chicas se decantan por actividades físicas individuales y artístico-expresivas, mientras que los chicos por la práctica de deportes colectivos; siendo menor el interés de las chicas por participar en competiciones deportivas. Además, la frecuencia de práctica es inferior en las mujeres durante la semana, pero no durante los fines de semana. Ellas renuncian en mayor medida que ellos a practicar actividades de ocio que les gustan. Respecto a la dimensión social de la práctica, ambos colectivos realizan deporte mayoritariamente con gente de su edad, pero ellas puntúan más bajo en esta opción de respuesta. El género es un factor determinante en la práctica de ocio deportivo juvenil, constatándose desigualdades en la frecuencia y preferencias de práctica y en la renuncia a actividades físico-deportivas que son de su agrado.Abstract. We study the profiles of sports participation of youths enrolled in Post-Compulsory Secondary Education (PCSE) in Spain (15-20 years). Specifically, it is analyzed if there are any differences according to gender in sports leisure practice and what are the sport participation features of each group. In order to do so, a quantitative research design was carried out and an ad hoc questionnaire was applied to a significative sample of 2694 ESPO Spanish students. Nine hundred and one of them were specifically studied because they selected sports practice as their main leisure preference. Overall, it is observed that the kind of leisure activity chosen by the Spanish youth is sport activity. We found that girls prefer individual and artistic-expressive physical activities, while boys opt for practicing team sports. We found a lower interest of girls in participating in sports competitions. Also, the frequency of practice is lower in women than men during the working days, but not during the weekend. Girls give up practicing leisure activities that they like much more than boys do. Regarding the social dimension of the practice, both groups practice mostly with people of their age, but girls score lower in this response option. Gender affects sports leisure of Spanish youth, differences being found in the frequency and preferences of practice, and in waivering leisure activities that they like.
