Attitudes, loyalty, after-school sport, federated sportAbstract
Introduction and objective: physical activity and sport are very positive alternatives so that the younger population can have a physical, mental and social development both in their childhood and in the future for their adult life. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to study attitudes as differentiating elements in a non-competitive sports model and another federated sports model in schoolchildren.
Method: for this purpose, an evaluation of programmes with a model of educational and non-competitive sports practice and a model of federated sports practice has been carried out. An ad hoc Likert-type scale questionnaire was applied to a sample of 186 schoolchildren in school sport and schoolchildren in federated sport.
Results: the results show that there are no significant differences in satisfaction and loyalty to the model of sports practice, but there are significant differences in the development of positive and negative attitudes between the two sports models studied.
Conclusions: it is concluded that schoolchildren who participate in federated sport have higher positive attitudes than schoolchildren enrolled in school sport, influencing their satisfaction and loyalty with the sports model practiced.
