“…Research focused on motivation for sports participation has also identified perceived competence, enjoyment, social connectedness, and degree of outside pressure as primary motives for pursuing or dropping out of sports (Brustad, Babkes, & Smith, 2001;Fredricks, et al, 2002;Patrick, et al, 1999;Weiss & Petlichkoff, 1989;Weiss & Williams, 2004). Characteristics of OST settings that are thought to increase participation and support the need for relatedness, autonomy, and competence include:…”

Abstract:The risk for youth obesity is higher during the summer than any other time of year. Summer day camps can be ideal settings for preventing obesity through reducing youth summer sedentary behaviors. However, little-to-no research has examined the role of camps for promoting youth physical activity (PA) and other healthy behaviors. This study begins to address the gap in research by conducting systematic observations of 4 summer day camps (2 highly-resourced and 2 low-resourced) to determine: 1) the degree to which camps engage youth in moderate-to-vigorous (MV) PA, and; 2) to what extent camps provide important physical and social-motivational features for promoting PA. Results indicate camps provide opportunities for youth to meet national recommendations of daily MVPA. However, there were differences in PA and motivational features by level of camp resources. This study helps inform practice and policy through identifying strengths and needs of camps for promoting PA.

“…The main reasons for young people to participate in sports are related to the quality of their engagement, that is, with their enjoyment of and interest in the sport (Castillo, Balaguer, & Duda, 2000;Gill, Gross, & Huddleston, 1983), whereas lack of enjoyment is an important determinant of sport drop-out (Gill et al, 1983;Weiss & Petlichkoff, 1989). Moreover, the desire for enjoyment has been positively related to a higher frequency of sports participation (Frederick, 1999).…”

Based on the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000), this study tested a model of the assumed sequential relationships between perceived autonomy support, psychological need satisfaction, self-determined motivation, and enjoyment/boredom. The hypothesized mediational roles of psychological need satisfaction and self-determined motivation were also studied. In a sample of 370 young male soccer players, path analysis results offered support for the proposed model. Total mediation was supported in the case of the psychological need satisfaction in the relationship between autonomy support and self-determined motivation, and partial mediation for self-determined motivation in the links between psychological need satisfaction and enjoyment (positive) and boredom (negative). Implications of autonomy-supportive behaviors provided by coaches for the quality of sport involvement among young athletes are discussed. Keywords: autonomy support, psychological needs, self-determined motivation, enjoyment / boredom, soccer En el marco de la teoría de la autodeterminación (Ryan & Deci, 2000), en este estudio se puso a prueba un modelo en el que se analizaron de forma secuencial las relaciones entre la percepción de apoyo a la autonomía del entrenador, la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas, la motivación autodeterminada y la diversión y el aburrimiento; así como el papel mediador hipotetizado de la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas y de la motivación autodeterminada. Los resultados del path análisis realizados con una muestra de 370 jóvenes futbolistas varones, ofrecieron apoyo al modelo propuesto. A su vez los análisis de mediación informaron que se producía una mediación total de la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas en las relaciones entre el apoyo a la autonomía y la motivación autodeterminada y una mediación parcial de la motivación autodeterminada con respecto a los enlaces entre la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas y la diversión (positivo) y aburrimiento (negativo). Se discuten las implicaciones que las conductas de apoyo a la autonomía del entrenador pueden tener para la calidad de la implicación deportiva en los jóvenes deportistas. Palabras clave: apoyo a la autonomía, necesidades psicológicas, motivación autodeterminada, diversión/ aburrimiento, fútbol

“…In line with these results, our research data has shown that most of the parents surveyed, when asked their opinion about physical and sporting habits, agreed that participating in these activities is good for your health. This reason coincides completely with those mentioned in previous studies aimed at elucidating why parents enrol their children in extracurricular sporting programmes: they want them to enjoy themselves, have fun and do exercise (Passer, 1982;Weiss & Petlichkoff, 1989;Gill, 1992;McCullagh et al, 1993;Cruz, 1997).…”

Reverter, J., Montero, D., Hernandez, V., Jové, C. & Coiduras, J. (2013). Parental attitudes towards extracurricular physical and sports activity in school-age children. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 8(3), pp.861-876. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the attitudes and degree of interest and implication of parents whose school-age children participate in extracurricular physical and sports activities. Particular attention has been paid to the responsibility parents bestow on the different people and institutions that are linked to promoting sports in school-age children. We have also analysed the relationship between parents' attitudes towards their children's sporting habits and their own degree of involvement with sports. Furthermore, we have analysed the implications of these results in order to encourage parental involvement in promoting physical and sports activities.
