System of actions to elevate the motivation for the practice of the sport

Abstract

The sports areas subject to the contemporary scenario guarantee initial enrollment, but their participation is not systematic, this led to the question of how to increase the motivation for the practice of sports in athletes registered in sports areas of the Sagua de Tánamo municipality? The objective was aimed at designing a system of actions to increase motivation for the practice of sport. The research was developed taking into account the population of athletes enrolled in the sports areas of the Sagua de Tánamo municipality, which reaches the figure of 1027 athletes, selecting an intentionally non-probabilistic sample of 280 individuals, in six sports, which meant the 27 %, with a confidence level of 95% and a maximum estimation error of 5%. Studies on motivation in the area of ​​sport are extensive, but generally directed to high-performance sports, with little evidence intended to initiate and particularly to participation in the practice of sport at the base link. The system is supported by actions aimed at athletes, coaches and parents. As a result of the application of the nominal group technique, it was concluded that it can become an effective tool to awaken a high level of motivation for the practice of sport.
