Relationship between Internal and External Determinants and Sports Participation of Colleges Players at Southern Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

    The present research was aimed to determine the relationships of internal (personal interest and motivation level) and external (parent support, mobile and internet, and academic pressure) determinants with sports participation (promotion of health and social interaction) of players. Samples of 450 numbers were randomly selected from the population. A self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect the desired data. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis were employed to analyze the collected data. The findings of the research revealed that sub-domains of internal and external determinants were significantly associated with sports participation of student players. It was concluded that much usage of mobile and internet and academic pressure from the parents might be the factors that may decrease participation of students in sports and cause of less interest and low motivation towards sports. It was suggested that parents should take care of youngster's activities rather than sports to promote their health and social interaction.
