The goal of this study was to identify contextual factors in the path to excellence in youth sport. 48 male athletes under 17 years of age (M = 15.7 yr., SD = 1.0) from a soccer academy (n = 20), a volleyball club (n = 14), and an elite volleyball center (n = 14) participated in the study. A standardized, retrospective interview was administered. Demographic information, training loads, and incidence of injuries were also collected. Male soccer players had more years of practice in sport than their male volleyball peers, but elite male volleyball players practiced more hours per week than the other athletes. The perception of intensity of training, physical effort, and concentration in male soccer players was higher than in male volleyball players. The high demands of expertise in professional soccer leads young athletes to begin training at early ages. The results showed that the environment specificity shapes the way young male athletes perceive their participation and commitment in sport.
本研究旨在确定青年体育卓越发展道路中的背景因素。48 名年龄在 17 岁以下的男性运动员（M=15.7 岁，SD=1.0）来自足球学院（n=20）、排球俱乐部（n=14）和精英排球中心（n=14）参与了这项研究。采用了标准化的回顾性访谈。还收集了人口统计学信息、训练负荷和受伤发生率。与男性排球运动员相比，男性足球运动员在体育运动中投入的时间更多，但与其他运动员相比，精英男性排球运动员每周的训练时间更长。男性足球运动员对训练强度、身体努力和注意力的感知高于男性排球运动员。职业足球对专业技能的高要求使得年轻运动员很早就开始训练。结果表明，环境的特殊性塑造了年轻男性运动员对参与和投入体育运动的看法。
