The project Student Athletes Erasmus+ Mobility in Europe identified and defined a total of 31 benefits offered to dual-career student athletes who are combining their university studies with high-level training. The project was co-funded by the European Union and carried out by five universities: Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Institut national des sciences appliquées de Lyon (France), University of Jyväskylä (Finland), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), and Universitat Jaume I (Spain).
The purpose of the study was to rank these benefits by combining the perspectives of the university staff and the student athletes from each university in the consortium. The university staff included experts from sports services and the international relations office. A questionnaire was also sent to the dual-career athletes enrolled at the consortium's universities. Of the 514 dual-career athletes, 208 (116 women) completed the questionnaire. The overall response rate was 40.47%. The university staff assessed the importance of each benefit, how easy it was to implement at the institution, and whether or not the university offered the benefit to its students. The dual-career students rated each of the 31 benefits and indicated whether or not they had used them. A specific methodology was designed to rank these benefits using the ratings of the university staff and the student athletes. Intra-group and inter-group Pearson correlations were performed.
The results show a strong and significant correlation between the benefits from the perspective of the university staff ( = 0.710, = 7.76E-7) and from the perspective of the students ( = 0.715, = 2.44E-6). The correlation is moderate and significant when the benefits are correlated from the perspective of the two groups as a whole (0.363, = 0.045), with the three most important benefits being the free use of sports facilities, justification for absences, and the adaptation of the pace of studies.
The study makes visible the commitment of higher education institutions to facilitating the dual career of student athletes and identifies those benefits that may be of greater interest to European universities as a whole. The European perspective has been considered, while respecting the specificities of each university and the country in which it is located.
“欧洲学生运动员伊拉斯谟+流动计划”项目识别并界定了为兼顾大学学业与高水平训练的双职业学生运动员提供的共计31项福利。该项目由欧盟共同资助，由五所大学开展：瑞典查尔姆斯理工大学、法国里昂国立应用科学学院、芬兰于韦斯屈莱大学、德国卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院以及西班牙哈恩大学。
本研究的目的是结合联盟中各所大学的大学工作人员和学生运动员的观点，对这些福利进行排名。大学工作人员包括体育服务部门和国际关系办公室的专家。还向联盟各大学招收的双职业运动员发放了问卷。在514名双职业运动员中，208名（116名女性）完成了问卷。总体回复率为40.47%。大学工作人员评估了每项福利的重要性、在学校实施的难易程度以及学校是否为学生提供了该项福利。双职业学生对31项福利中的每一项进行了评分，并表明他们是否使用过这些福利。设计了一种特定方法，利用大学工作人员和学生运动员的评分对这些福利进行排名。进行了组内和组间的皮尔逊相关性分析。
结果显示，从大学工作人员角度（r = 0.710，p = 7.76E - 7）和学生角度（r = 0.715，p = 2.44E - 6）来看，各项福利之间存在强且显著的相关性。当从两组整体角度对福利进行相关性分析时，相关性为中等且显著（0.363，p = 0.045），三项最重要的福利是体育设施的免费使用、缺勤理由以及学习节奏的调整。
该研究揭示了高等教育机构在促进学生运动员双职业发展方面的努力，并确定了那些可能对整个欧洲大学更具吸引力的福利。在尊重每所大学及其所在国家的特殊性的同时，考虑了欧洲的视角。
