This paper explores the intersection of gender and sports participation in adolescence, focusing on traditionally male-dominated sports like football. We aim to develop a structural model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine gender-differentiated patterns and factors influencing adolescent participation in football. We analyzes data from 1,147 adolescents using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that a blend of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and past behavior effectively predicts adolescents' willingness to engage in football. Moreover, the study investigates the roles of perceived behavioral control, past behavior, and behavioral intentions in actual football participation, uncovering significant gender disparities in the progression from past behavior to intentions and subsequent behavior. This research highlights the complex role of gender in football participation and provides strategic insights for increasing girls' involvement in the sport. Our study sets the stage for future research on enhancing girls' participation in football.
本文探讨了青少年时期性别与体育参与的交叉点，重点关注足球等传统上由男性主导的运动项目。我们旨在基于计划行为理论（TPB）开发一个结构模型，以研究影响青少年参与足球运动的性别差异模式和因素。我们使用结构方程模型（SEM）分析了来自1147名青少年的数据。结果表明，态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和过去的行为共同有效地预测了青少年参与足球运动的意愿。此外，该研究调查了感知行为控制、过去的行为和行为意图在实际足球参与中的作用，发现从过去的行为到意图再到后续行为的过程中存在显著的性别差异。本研究突出了性别在足球参与中的复杂作用，并为增加女孩参与这项运动提供了战略见解。我们的研究为未来关于提高女孩参与足球运动的研究奠定了基础。
