Variables Influencing the Emotional Attachment of Adolescents in Prague Schools to Physical Education
Vol.17,No.2(2023)
Background: Emotional attachment to any activity is a frequently discussed topic. Backgrounds speak of the importance of building emotional attachment since childhood, we agree with this idea and in school Physical Education we see one of the important means that can significantly influence this attachment in the field of physical activities. The aim of the study is to define the variables that influence the emotional attachment of pupils in school Physical Education.
Method: A questionnaire used by Antalou & al. for a similar investigation in Slovakia was chosen by the research tool. After assessing the normality of the data, we chose the Kruskal- Wallis test for statistical data processing.
Results: Our research group contained 480 respondents from 22 schools in Prague. 38% of pupils have a negative relationship with Physical Education 41% of pupils have a neutral relationship. Emotional attachment affects the state of health. Often, sick students have a more positive relationship with physical education.
Conclusions: Pupils who are not focused on performance perceive TV more positively than pupils focused on performance. Children's emotional attachment to physical activities is important, we recommend working on tools to better clarify this area.
