Personal Attributes as Determinants of Sport Participation among Undergraduates in Selected Nigerian Universities
Öz
This study focuses on personal attributes of undergraduates as determinants of sport participation in selected Nigerian universities which include age, gender and marital status. The instrument for the study is a self-developed, validated questionnaire. The subjects of the study are undergraduates in selected Nigerian universities. Analysis is the use of percentages and inferential statistics of chi square X2 at 0.05 level of significance. The results derived from the study reveal that students’ personal attributes significantly determine their sport participation. Among other recommendations made is that it is highly imperative for university authorities to make frantic efforts to develop modalities capable of encouraging students’ sport participation since most of them have sport potentials as evident in their post-primary school sport records. This will enable our universities groom healthy and academically sound graduates.
