| Abstract |
In recent years in Japan, there has been a demand for community sports clubs which can meet the diverse needs of residents as well as the development of a new community sports system. Although enjoyme...nt is an important factor for people to continue participating in sport, few studies have considered the enjoyment factor in community sports. This is because the development of community sports clubs has been delayed due to the importance placed on single event competitive sports. The purpose of this study is to obtain basic knowledge for the factors concerning people’s enjoyment of community sports classes.
Parents who participated in or spectated at community sports classes were targeted for this study. At the end of each class, the subjects were asked to describe the factors that induced enjoyment during the participation in community sports. The descriptions obtained were classified by three researchers with knowledge of community sports using the KJ method.
Eighty-three descriptions were obtained from parents, which were classified into five groups: leader, program, interaction, achievement, and emotion. Factors such as instruction, achievement, and emotion are partially overlapped with the factors that brought enjoyment during conventional physical education classes. On the other hand, factors such as interaction and program showed some differences from those of conventional sports activities. Interaction is, however, a keyword and presumed to be a unique factor of community sports clubs in Japanshow more
