Motivos relacionados com a idade na participação em eventos de corrida

Resumo

Determinar as motivações relacionadas à idade para participar de meia maratona em quatro categorias de idade dos entrevistados: até 25 anos (n=238), 26-35 anos (n=228), 36-50 anos (n=69) e 51-70 anos (n=25) foi o principal objetivo do estudo. Um questionário autoconstruído foi utilizado para o estudo (N=560) durante a 6ª Meia Maratona de Poznan (um dos mais importantes eventos de corrida na Polônia). A base para o desenvolvimento do questionário sobre os motivos para a participação em eventos de corrida foi a divisão de Freyer e Gross (2002). O instrumento de pesquisa foi validado antes do evento examinado (durante a 5ª Meia Maratona de Poznan). Os principais achados dessa pesquisa foram estritamente relacionados com o motivo para manter a condição física e a saúde. O motivo foi importante para todos os grupos etários pesquisados ​​e relatados por 82,1% (460) dos entrevistados. Foi também o mais importante para a faixa etária mais idosa: corredores com idades entre 51 e 70 anos (96% relataram essa motivação como sendo a mais importante). A diferença mais significativa entre corredores jovens e mais velhos é que os jovens são mais frequentemente focados em resultados, enquanto os mais velhos são mais focados no contato com outras pessoas, sendo os aspectos sociais mais importantes para eles. Eles também prestam mais atenção à atratividade da cidade em que eles correm. Enquanto os jovens pensam em alcançar um resultado esportivo, sentir emoções intensas e conquistar reconhecimento aos olhos dos outros.
