Full textObjective: this research shows how the degree and motivation develops or diminishes depending on various different criteria. We have also established a number of indicators which can be seen to translate the degree of motivation of the athlete or to depend to some degree on the level of motivation. Contents description: vol 1: introduction, method, conclusion and appendices. Vol 2: theoretical aspects and bibliography vol 3: quantitative analysis vol 4: qualitative analysis vol 5: record of data methodology: the research was carried out with a population sample of around a hundred top level athletes from the rennes area. It consisted of observing changes in the degree of motivation of the athletes over a period of 12 weeks and or recording a certain number of parameters. We have a dual approach: on the one hand, psychosociological and on the other, clinical. The observation method consists of a questionnaire followed up by a series of interviews. The content of the questionnaire is in past based on a synthesis of academic sources on the subject

Full textWork object: relations of teenagers’ sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs. Problem of the study. The problem of the factors enhancing exercising is relevant as more often scientists raise the following questions: what is the structure of sports activity, how to encourage the motivation of children and teenagers, what is their need to exercise. Educational content is also a very important factor, determining the students’ motivation. The relation between the variety of sport educational content and children’s motivation to exercise is often analysed in regard to formal education, and informal education is more often outlined theoretically than based on specific empirical studies. It is also very important for teachers and trainers to assess the teenagers’ demographic actions as they are very important independent of the fact about where the teenager exercises. Not knowing the peculiarities of motivation, it would be difficult to single-mindedly solve the problems of teenagers’ healthy lifestyle and occupation in their free-time, to prepare them for competitions. Objective of the study – to assess the relations of teenagers’ (12-14 years-old) sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs in comprehensive and sport schools of Šilutė region municipality. The tasks of the study: 1. To determine the differences of sports motivation of the teenagers (12-14 years-old), studying at comprehensive and sport schools in Šilutė region municipality; 2.

Full textThis study purposely examined the types of extrinsic rewards in male youth soccer programs and measures those that are most preferred by players to influence their participation motivation. It also checked if young soccer players skew towards programs that provide more reward opportunities. For this reason, 1000 teenage soccer players were randomized in an online survey administered by a community-based organization. 800 chose programs that provided extrinsic rewards and identified fame, trophies, travel, scholarship, exposure opportunities and money as the six main rewards that influenced their decision to join soccer programs.
A Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ) was then modified using the identified factors and issued to 400 participants between ages 14-18 years, randomly selected from 20 Las Vegas soccer clubs in another survey to rank extrinsic rewards according to importance. Data was collected and entered into the SPSS 17.0 software for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. Cronbach alpha was applied to measure internal consistencies based on the demographics and attitudes towards participation motivation. One way ANOVA sought to determine the extent to which the identified extrinsic rewards affected participation motivation, and regression analysis examined the relationships across all factors.
Results from data analysis revealed that, exposure opportunities constituted the most important extrinsic reward that influenced young male soccer players' decision to join soccer programs. Scholarship, travel, fame, money and trophies followed suit. One-way ANOVA showed that race had a significant effect on scholarship, exposure opportunities, and fame. Multivariate regressions revealed that young players that are more motivated by scholarship, fame and travel tended to have higher ability levels. These effects were held even after adjusting for grade and age.
Results from the online survey also concluded that more young players tend to be attracted to soccer programs that provide extrinsic reward opportunities. Thus, extrinsic rewards should be considered and included in programs to enhance motivation.

Full textSyfte & frågeställning
Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka hur tränares ledarskap och relation till spelare, påverkar spelares motivation. Det föreslogs att ledarskapet och relationen som en del av det, är två faktorer som påverkar hur en idrottare presterar, genom att bland annat påverka idrottarens motivation. Fyra frågeställningar skulle besvaras. (1) Om tränare upplevs som de önskar och tror att de upplevs. (2) Hur beskriver tränare och spelare sin tränare-spelare relation. (3) I vilken utsträckning påverkar relationen i ledarskapet spelares motivation. (4) Finns det ett samband mellan ledarskapsstilar och spelares motivation.
Metod
Undersökningen inkluderade två ishockeylag på A-juniorelitnivå i Sverige (J20). Totalt var det två huvudtränare och 40 spelare (n=23, n=17) som deltog. Undersökningen genomfördes med formulär ställda till tränarna och spelarna, uppbyggda av tre olika idrottspsykologiska instrument. Dessa var Leadership Scale for Sports1, Coach-Athlete Relationship Test-Questionnaire2, och Sports Motivation Scale3. Undersökningen ägde rum i slutet av pågående säsong och inkluderade endast respektive lags huvudtränare och spelare. Kravet som ställdes på spelarna för att kunna delta i undersökningen, var att de varit aktiva under tränaren i minst sex månader. Detta för att försäkra att tränaren och spelarna hade arbetat en längre tid tillsammans.
Resultat
Resultaten visade på att spelarna föredrog en tränare med medelauktoritära inslag, som ofta gav positiv feedback och instruktioner angående spelets detaljer. Spelarna och tränarna uppfattade inte relationen dem emellan som fulländad. Spelarna var i genomsnitt mer pessimistiskt inställda till tränare-spelare relationen än vad tränarna var. Nivåerna av inre motivation visade sig högre än nivåerna för yttre motivation och amotivation.
Diskussion
Ledarskapet tenderade att påverka spelares motivation. Däremot så hittades inga resultat som tydligt pekade på att tränare-spelare relationen haft någon påverkan på spelares motivation. Spelarna i studien uppvisade högre nivåer för amotivation, än vad tidigare studier på svenska individuella elitidrottare visat. Det föreslås att en bidragande faktor som kan ha påverkat amotivationen, är tränarens auktoritära inslag i ledarskapet och avsaknaden av självbestämmande (autonomi) hos de aktiva. Auktoritära och kontrollerande beteenden tenderar att minska den inre motivationen och öka yttre motivation och amotivation, medan beteenden som främjar självbestämmande tenderar att öka den inre motivationen hos idrottare. Hur man initierar till att höja nivåerna av inre motivation hos idrottare, bör ingå i tränarutbildningsprogram och liknande.
Aim & Research Objectives
The main objective of this survey was to investigate how coaches leadership and relation to athletes, influence the athletes motivation. It was suggested that the leadership and the coach-athlete relationship (as part of the leadership), are two factors that influence athletes’ performance. Four questions were to be answered. (1) How are coaches leadership perceived by the players in comparison to their own view of their leadership? (2) How is the coach-athlete relationship described by leaders and team members? (3) Is the coach-athlete relationship influencing athletes’ motivation? (4) Is there a relation between leadership styles and athletes motivation?
Methodology
The survey included two ice-hockey teams on A-junior elite level in Sweden (J20). The participants were two head coaches and forty players (n=23, n=17 respectively). The survey was carried out with questionnaires, aimed at both coaches and players. The questionnaires were Leadership Scale of Sports4, Coach Athlete Relationship Test – Questionnaire , and Sport Motivation Scale6. The survey was completed in the end of the season, and did only include the head coach and his players. Subjects in the investigation were required to have played at least six month under their head coach to ensure that coach and players had worked for some time together.
Results
The results showed that players preferred a coach to be fairly authoritarian in his leadership, and to often give positive feedback and instructions about game details to the players. The players did not perceive their coach-athlete relationship as perfect. The players’ average result for the coach-athlete relationship showed that they were more pessimistic to the relationship, than were their coach. The level of intrinsic motivation appeared to be higher than the level of external motivation and amotivation, among the players.
Discussion
The leadership tends to influence players’ motivation. No results indicated that the coach-athlete relationship had had similar effect on the players’ motivation. The subjects showed higher level of amotivation than previous studies on motivation among Swedish individual elite-athletes have shown. It is therefore proposed that a contributing cause that might have had an affect on the players’ amotivation is the authoritarian elements of the coach leadership and low self-determination among the players. Authoritarian and controlling behaviours tend to diminish the intrinsic motivation and increase the external motivation and amotivation, whereas behaviours that facilitate for players to use self-determination tend to increase the intrinsic motivation. How you initiate to increase the players intrinsic motivation should be a part of coaches’ education programs and similar.

Syftet ämnar även att undersöka vilka faktorer subelitidrottarnaupplevde influerade deras beslut att avsluta sin idrottskarriär. För att undersökasyftet genomfördes tolv kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Deltagarna i studien var tolvföre detta sub-elitidrottare som varit aktiva idrottare mellan åldrarna 15–20. Resultatet frånstudien visade att sub-elitidrottarna upplevde både inre motivation och yttre motivation underderas karriär. Resultatet visade att deltagarna upplevde inre motivation genomtillfredsställelsen av de tre psykologiska grundbehoven inom SDT. Resultatet visade attdeltagarna upplevde mer yttre motivation vid deras karriäravslut, detta då deltagarna inteuppfyllde de tre psykologiska grundbehoven som tidigare. Resultatet visade även att det finnsmånga olika faktorer som influerade deltagarnas beslut om ett karriäravslut, t.ex. ökat kravfrån tränaren.

Full textYoung people are the future of sports clubs and sports associations create positive development for young people. What the young people do in their free time and in what social context in which they are staying in is important for their development. Despite these positive effects that sport clubs have so many young people choose to end exert sports. This is due to different aspects such as finance, friends, parental influence and new hobbies. Therefore, it is important how sports clubs are working to keep young people and it is also the aim of this study. Through interviews with six club members have three strategies been developed and have resulted from this study. The three strategies that the unions in Trollhättan City uses the most and feel are most successful are: The widht in sport-Elite direction, Commitment and Goal and sense

Full textOhälsan ökar i västvärlden som en följd av bland annat försämrade kostvanor och alltför lite fysisk aktivitet. För att öka aktivitetsgraden hos den vuxna befolkningen i Sverige erbjuds många via arbets¬givaren möjlighet till friskvård på betald arbetstid. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka olika aspekter av motivation och inställ¬ning till motion hos individer som nyttjar respektive inte utnyttjar friskvårdsförmånen. Data samlades in genom semistruktu¬rerade intervjuer med tio personer vilka sedan analyserades enligt teoristyrd tematisk analys. Deltagarna besvarade även ett standardiserat mät¬instrument (Sport Motivation Scale). Undersökningen utgick från Self-Determination Theory som bygger på tanken att beteenden som styrs av inre motivation har större chans att upprätthållas än de som styrs av yttre motivation. Resultatet visade att de som nyttjar frisk¬vårdstimmen i större utsträckning drivs av inre motivation än de som inte nyttjar denna. För att fler anställda skall utnyttja frisk¬vårdsförmånen bör arbetsgivaren satsa på personlig rådgivning samt skapa en organisa¬tions¬kultur där motion är ett naturligt inslag och där den inre motiva¬tionen uppmuntras.

Full textRisk-taking behaviors constitute a growing domain, yet not well known. Our research’s goal aimed at identifying the psychobiological and emotional determinants of risky physical activities: rally, lifestyle sports, horse riding, golf players and circus artists (N = 507). We compared the temperament and character of young horse riders and young golfers, both in Tunisia and in France. We then compared the telic dominance of participants in different kinds of sports. We also tested changes in emotional states, neuroticism, escape and alexithymia related to risk-taking. Finally, we identified the personality profiles, specifically the telic dominance and sensation seeking and the perceived stress among circus artists. We have followed the evolution of their cortisol level while training and during a show. The results show that the horse riders and golfers have a high score on persistence and harm avoidance. Motor sports imply more risk-taking than lifestyle sports. The rally context allows its followers to decrease their level of negative affect, neuroticism and alexithymia, which contributes to the adoption of reckless behaviors. Circus artists are paratelic, sensation seekers, and perceive a low level of stress; their cortisol level is higher during the show than on a training day. Overall, we could identify the individual differences that would promote involvement in physical activities at risk, while noting the role of motivational, emotional, biological variables and personality factors in the understanding of such a commitment

Full textI detta examensarbete har vi undersökt vad som motiverar individer till att studera friluftslivskurser vid Högskolan i Kalmar, vi ville också ta reda på om det fanns några skillnader till motivationen om vi ser på kön eller åldersskillnader. Studien är tänkt som en del av ett forskningsarbete som kommer att bedrivas på Högskolan i Kalmar (Blivande Linneuniversitetet) vi har i denna studie valt att uppmärksamma vilken form av motivation som driver studenterna under utbildningen.
I bakgrunden berörs tidigare forskning gällande olika motivationsteorier med anknytning till lärande. Vidare lyfter vi också fram forskning om vuxenutbildning och vad som motiverar till aktiviteter inom friluftsliv.
Undersökningen bedrevs kvantitativt och data samlades in i form av en enkätundersökning. I vår kvantitativa undersökning bearbetade vi 70 enkäter som var fullständigt ifyllda. I undersökningen deltog 38 kvinnor och 32män mellan 19 år och 51 år.
Resultatet redovisas i form av diagram som antingen berör inre motivation eller amotivation. I resultatet kan man bland annat utläsa att respondenterna drivas av en inre motivation då de väljer att utbilda sig inom friluftsliv. Vidare pekar också resultatet på att respondenterna i större grad motiveras av att undervisningen är kul och intressant än att den är viktig för dem.
I diskussionen jämförs undersökningens resultatet med tidigare forskning från bakgrunden, vidare forskningsförslag presenteras också.

Full textSex differences in performance exist in the athletic domain. The goal of this thesis is to understand, in a social psychological perspective, the role of sex stereotypes in the athletic performance, by examining two ways of influence: the one exerted through PE teachers, and the one exerted through the internalisation of stereotypes in the self and through their activation in evaluative contexts. This thesis shows that although teacher expectations were biased in favour of boys, they did not lead to sex inequalities in performance through self-fulfilling prophecies or perceptual biases (e. G. , Jussim, Eccles, & Madon, 1996). However, the stereotype relative to male superiority in sports may affect the performance of girls who endorse it, this relation being explained by a low perception of competence. Moreover, this stereotype may also affect girls' performance when it is activated during the realisation of a motor task (Steele, 1997). In addition, negative stereotypes may positively influence people who are not concerned by the stereotype, by enhancing their self-confidence and task engagement. To conclude, this doctoral work corroborates the idea that sex inequalities in performance are not only due to sex differences in natural ability, but may be explained by cultural beliefs relative to sex differences in sporting and physical activities

Full textSyftet med vår studie är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar elever med hög frånvaro i ämnet idrott och hälsa har om detsamma. Vi som blivande lärare i idrott och hälsa vill få en ökad kunskap om hur vi som lärare ska kunna motivera de elever som har hög frånvaro i idrott och hälsa på gymnasieskolan. Vår undersökning bygger på intervjuer med elever från två gymnasieskolor. Skolorna är av olika storlek men båda ligger i södra Sverige. Vi har använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer och har intervjuat åtta elever, fyra flickor och fyra pojkar. Anledningen till att vi intervjuat lika många av varje kön är för att vi ville undersöka om det fanns några skillnader mellan könen. Samtliga elever vi intervjuade går andra året på gymnasieskolan och läser den obligatoriska kursen idrott och hälsa A. Resultatet visar att samtliga elever i undersökningen har en bristande motivation till idrott och hälsa. Anledningarna till den bristande motivationen skiljer sig dock åt, liksom faktorerna som skulle kunna påverka elevernas motivation positivt. Intressant med resultatet är att hälften av de intervjuade eleverna egentligen tycker att det är roligt med idrott och hälsa, men på grund av situationen runt lektionerna väljer de ändå att avstå. I det avslutande diskussionskapitlet lägger vi stor vikt vid vad vi som lärare kan göra för att få så många elever som möjligt att känna sig motiverade till idrott och hälsa.

Full textSyftet med studien var att undersöka hur svenska elitjuniorer i höjdhopp arbetar med
målsättningar utifrån dagens forskning. De flesta sätter upp målsättningar men få
förstår hur de på bästa sätt kan använda sig av dessa. Målsättningar kan hjälpa
individen till en högre motivation som i sin tur främjar en högre intensitet under en
längre tidsperiod i den relativt tuffa träningen som en elitidrottare åtar sig. Dock finns
också risken att målsättningar verkar hämmande på prestationen om de används
felaktigt. Vilket betyder att det antagligen krävs en god kunskap och erfarenhet för att
lyckas. 10 höjdhoppare intervjuades som under 2009 tävlade i juniorklasser och
utgjorde landets främsta. Resultaten visar att det fanns väl utarbetade tankar hos de
flesta kring deras målsättningar vilka också var en grundläggande anledning till varför
de idrottade. Dock fanns indikationer på att dessa målsättningar inte utnyttjades
optimalt för den aktives prestationer. En del i detta var en bristande kommunikation
mellan tränare och aktiv under målsättningsprocessen. En diskussion fördes utifrån
detta hur målsättningar kan användas optimalt för höjdhoppare. Dessutom påträffades
en åsikt att specifika höjdmål är negativa vilket ledde till en diskussion kring
målfokus vid olika tillfällen.
The purpose of this study was to examine how the Swedish elite juniors in the high
jump use goals based on current research. Most are setting up goals, but few
understand how they can best use them. Goal setting can help the individual to a
higher level of motivation, which in turn promotes a higher intensity for a longer
period of time in the relatively tough training as an elite athlete commits. However,
there is also the risk that the objectives hamper performance if used incorrectly.
Which means it probably requires a good knowledge and experience to succeed. 10
athletes were interviewed that in 2009 competed in the junior classes and formed the
country's primary. The results show that there were well-developed thoughts of most
on their goals that also was the fundamental reason to why they competed. However,
there were indications that these goals were not used optimally for the active
achievements. Some of this was a lack of communication between the coach and
active in the goal setting process. A discussion took place on this basis of how goals
can be optimized for a high jumper. In addition an opinion that goals of specific
heights is negative was found which led to a discussion of goal focus at different
times.
