“…It seems that sport is still a masculine activity (Theune, 2016;Beissel, Giardina & Newman, 2016), and women find it somewhat less attractive. This finding contradicts the fact that health consciousness is more characteristic of women, and they attribute more importance to the role of sport in preserving human health than man do (Bollók et al, 2011). In spite of that fact, and despite innumerable (social) media campaigns about the necessity of regular physical exercise, the differences between the sexes, though change somewhat, still exist.…”

In our study we analysed the factors that influence and determine sport activity of students studying in higher education institutions in the North-Eastern Plains Region of Hungary and the adjacent cross-border regions. In the research we included students studying in three Hungarian, five Romanian, two Slovakian, three Ukrainian and one Serbian Higher Education institutions (N=2017). Our findings indicate that students in Hungary, as well as ethnic Hungarian students in Romania, Serbia and Slovakia, do little sport, in the entire region students do some sport once a week only. An analysis of the social and individual factors influencing sports activities in a single model shows powerful differences in terms of gender and financial background in Hungary, Ukraine and Romania (the differences are the biggest in the latter). If we include attitudes based on subjective choice and way of life in our model, the gender differences vanish.

“…For example in their study Morris, Clayton, Power & Han (1995) found that team sports participants placed more emphasis on challenge, fun, and affiliation, while exercise participants rated health/fitness motives to be more important. Furthermore, Bollok et al, (2011) indicated significant differences on participation motives of team sport participants on several factors and pointed out team sport participants were inspired to win over others, unlike those engaged in individual sports. Also, if we examine the literature we can see that motives for sports participation for university students can vary.…”

“…In sports research the basic answer is motivation. Because, motivation is used to explain the differing behavior of individuals in sporting or athletic situation (Chandler, Cronin, & Vamplew, 2002), and that is the reason why motivation in the sports research is one of the most intensively used terms in explaining concepts such as movement and effective performance (Bollok, Takacs, Kalmar, & Dobay, 2011).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the motives for university students who engage in different team sports mutually. The cross-sectional method was used in the study. The study sample consisted of 280 university students from Dumlupinar University School of Physical Education and Sports. The participants were chosen according to stratified random sampling method and participated in the study voluntarily. In the study in order to collect data Turkish version of Gill and colleagues' Sports Participation Questionnaire was used. In the evaluation of the data in addition to descriptive statistical methods, MANOVA was used as the hypothesis test. According to MANOVA results, there were significant differences between the motives for university students in achievement, physical fitness, skills development and movement/being active factors. The findings of this study can assist intercollegiate coaches and athletic administrators to understand the motivational patterns of university students for participating in sports and allow them to develop strategies which can prevent students from quitting sports participation and exercise.

“…However, intrinsic motivation helps to satisfy human needs, irrespective of the expectations of the environment; the purpose of intrinsically motivated behaviour is not an external factor. In intrinsically motivated activities, the behaviour originates from the self (Bollók et al, 2011). Intrinsic motivation occurs if an individual engages voluntarily in an activity for its own sake, however, extrinsic motivation appears if an individual is motivated by external factors which are for example; rewards and social recognition (Gill, 2000).…”

indicated some evidence of a positive relationship between motivation and self-efficacy beliefs/perceived competence/self-perceptions. Therefore, the relationship between self-confidence and motivation was investigated in sport context in this study. Participants of this study were 111 field hockey athletes. Sport Motivation Scale (Pelletier et al., 1995) and Self-confidence Scales (Tokinan, 2008) were used for data collection. SPSS.17 package program was used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics techniques, t-test and Pearson's correlation analysis were used. According to the results, self-confidence was found to be positively and significantly correlating with intrinsic motivation to know and to accomplish things, intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation, external regulation, identification, introjection, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation (p<0,05). Self-confidence appeared to be negatively and significantly correlating with amotivation (p<0,05). In the light of the result it could be suggested that when athletes perceive high self-confidence and efficient self-perception and trust their abilities, their motivation to practice their sports enhances. Results were discussed in line with the relevant literature and some applications were proposed.
