People of various ages, profession and social background are united by one goal – sports, as one of personal expression, training and self-development ways, which involves the further the larger part of society. Therefore it is important to jointly develop the partnership and find out the requirements and opportunities of the sports clubs’ visitors. The aim of the research is to explore the factors, which determine the sports club’s visitor’s (both men’s and women’s) attitude towards physical self-development. The object of the research is factors, which determine the attitude towards physical self-development. The following hypothesis was formulated: it is likely that taking care of one’s health, body image as well as quality services provided in the sports clubs determine the positive attitude of differently aged visitors towards physical self-development. 168 sports clubs’ visitors have participated in the research. The main factor, determining both women’s and men’s health was a physically active way of life: regime, routines involving behavior and nourishment. It can be presumed that one of the tasks when seeking for good health is striving for physical, spiritual and social wellbeing. In both women’s and men’s opinion – one of the most significant factors of a healthy life-style is healthy nutrition. This is not enough, however, as it is very important to develop physical activity skills (by active exercise). A large part of men and women state that major factor determining good health is giving up addictions (addiction to alcohol or smoking). Least acceptable way to improve health by the opinion of sports clubs’ visitors was to consider changing the place of residence to the less ecologically polluted one. Main motive for doing sports was both for women and men the improvement of physical and psychological health as well as physical fitness. Daily physical activity for men has influence upon their physical fitness, they stated, however, women think that the main factor determining their attitude towards sports is their need of physical self-development. In sports women are inclined towards forming the following values: respect, friendship, will, discipline and tolerance. Men are of stronger character; therefore the priority between them is given to such sports developing value as - will. Both men and women refer to the sports club’s trainer for the development of the training programme. It can be presupposed that the trainer of the club is the main educator, which has the largest amount of relevant knowledge, so he is able to solve health problems of people of different age by a certain physical load. Thus the sports clubs’ visitors (both men and women) trust the trainer mostly. People are interested in the innovations and various services implemented at the sports clubs. Every sports clubs’ visitor will first of all consider his/her own individual needs, wishes, required and beneficial services. The hypothesis that taking care of one’s health, body image as well as quality services provided in the sports clubs determine the positive attitude of differently aged visitors towards physical self-development. |
