| Summary: | The objective of the research was to establish the rankings of motives for participation in sport activities in Slovenia. In order to attain as representative opinions of the Slovenes as possible, we used an adjusted quota sample (n = 1685), corresponding to the Slovene population with respect to the place of residence, gender, age, and education. The data was obtained with direct surveying. The subjects were asked the question of importance of individual motives (n = 25) for participation in sport activity. On a scale from 1 to 5 (1 standing for "absolutely unimportant factor" and 5 for "very important factor") the respondents in terms of importance ranked the proposed motives. For each motive the mean values were calculated and the scale of motives by importance was drawn up. According to the results the most important motives were ''preservation and development of health'' (4.26), ''development of motor abilities'' (4.12) and ''development and preservation of working abilities'' (3.87). The less important motives were 'sport stardom'' (2.74) and 'gaining political position through sport'' (2.04). |
