| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the research was to study and compare the motives of sports activities of Lithuanian boxers and karate athletes. The methods of the research: 1. The study and analysis of literature sources. 2. Questionnaire survey. 3. Mathematical statistics.The research using the method of questionnaire survey was carried out during the championship of Lithuania in 2004. The sample consisted of 14 elite boxers and 15 karate performers (n = 29) and 16 non-elite boxers and 17 karate performers (n = 33). The total number of subjects was 62 sportsmen (30 boxers and 32 karate performers). The sample consisted of athletes in 4 weight categories (from 57 kg to 75 kg). The winners of the fi rst 4 places were attributed to elite sportsmen and those who had taken the last 4 places were attributed to non-elite sportsmen respectively. The average age of the sportsmen studied was 20.5 ± 2.3 years.The research included boxers and karate performers since they distinguish themselves from other representatives of combat sports by fi ghting in the standing position and blow techniques being used.The subjects were asked to fi ll in a standardized F. Herzberg’s questionnaire consisting of 56 questions aimed at establishing the following eight motives of activities: financial, recognition and gratitude, responsibility, relations with the leader, career, achievements, nature of activities, and cooperation. Maximum estimation of each motive was set at 28 points.The data obtained as a result of the research carried out were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Student’s criterion t was applied in determining difference reliability.It was found that fi nancial motive was the most important motive of sports activities among elite boxers (25.6 ± 1.02 points); motives of the nature of the activities (23.4 ± 0.81 points) and of achievements (23.1 ± 0.78 points) were also important.In the case of elite karate performers, the motives of the nature of the activities were the most important (23.5 ± 0.83 points), motives of cooperation (22.3 ± 0.69 points) and of achievements (20.1 ± 0.65 points) were important, as well.The motives of the nature of activities, motives of cooperation and of responsibility prevailed among boxers and karate performers whose mastership was low.The fi nancial motive of non-elite boxers was stronger than that of karate sportsmen of the same skill level (p < 0.05) but it was weaker than that of elite boxers (p < 0.001).The comparison of research results obtained from all groups of the athletes studied showed the motive of career being the least important. |
