A Comparative Study on the Influencing Factors of Sports Participation between Male and Female College Students

Abstract

The sports participation of college students is affected by many factors. Due to the physical and psychological differences between male and female college students, the factors affecting college students’ sports participation also show gender differences. An online questionnaire was distributed to students in four sports classes to investigate the influencing factors of male and female college students’ participation in sports. A total of 100 valid questionnaires were received, including 36 male college students and 64 female college students. T-test was used for analysis. The results showed that two of the 29 in investigated factors showed significant differences between men and women (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Conclusion: Male college students’ sports participation is more likely to be affected by their lovers. Male college students practice sports skills to win sports competitions stronger than female college students.
