The purpose of this study was to identify the students’ motivation for participating to sports
competitions in school.
The questionnaire we have used has included three categories of reasons
for the participation to sports actions: social motives, sports motives and health-promotion motives,
intrinsic and extrinsic. The data obtained have emphasised positive results for both genders, on the three motivation directions:
“Fun and Joy the wish of being healthy”
“the wish of being part of a team”.
Motivations such as
“The wish of being the best, of being a champion”;
“The wish of being popular”
“The wish to compete” were frequent among boys, while girls have mostly social and recreational motives: making new friends, maintaining a healthy body, fitness. Hence, the combination of the pleasure to participate in the competition and the wish to make new friends are the ways through which we can also increase the number of girls who participate in school competitions.
