Szabadidősport a felsőoktatásban = Leisure sport activities in universities

Absztrakt

Fifty percent of the secondary school students and only one third of the university
students are involved in regular sporting activities in Hungary (Fábri, 2002). There
are differences between sporting habits, and also, that the differences are influenced
by the societal background of the individuals. It is, therefore, very important that
higher education provide formal frames and conditions of organized sports and
lifestyle consultancy, and that students become aware of the preventive function of
sports. Up to now sports do not seem to fulfill an integral and leading part in the life
of higher educational institutions in general. Obviously, the scarcity of resources
in the higher education does affect the sports sector too. Sports Leaders studied in the higher educational institutions of leisure sport activities, organizing what characterizes the current situation and how they see the development potential stakeholders. Based on my results, I concluded that the sports opportunities of students are especially good according to the managers. This statement confronts the research findings which suggest that the sports activity of students is very low. I will clarify this contradiction in a subsequent research.
