Investigating sport persistence can make a significant contribution to a thorough examination and understanding of the factors underlying an athlete's activity, integrating physical activity, sports motivation and commitment. This systematic review aimed to detect the papers focusing on the factors influencing sport persistence following the levels of Bronfenbrenner's and Bauman's ecological models. Following the PRISMA guidelines, by the EBSCO Discovery Service Search Engine, 512 records were detected, of which 21 met the criteria. Factors influencing sport persistence show a huge variety. Individual factors and micro-system level were overrepresented. Meso- and macro-level factors are underrepresented and measured only with other (individual or micro-system level) factors. Most factors detected at the individual (e.g. gender, age, career-related variables and positive psychological factors), micro- (e.g. family, peers and coaches), meso- (e.g. climate), and macro-level (cultural, societal, and institutional influences) were positively correlated with sport persistence, i.e. supporting the persistent behaviour of the athletes regarding participating in one's sporting activity. In conclusion, there is still room for further research concerning sport persistence. Including variables belonging to the meso- and macro-system and conducting longitudinal research should be considered which would allow us to better understand the nature of sport persistence.
研究运动持久性可以为深入考察和理解运动员活动背后的因素做出重要贡献，这些因素包括身体活动、运动动机和承诺。本系统评价旨在根据 Bronfenbrenner 和 Bauman 的生态模型的层次，检测关注影响运动持久性的因素的文献。根据 PRISMA 指南，通过 EBSCO Discovery Service 搜索引擎，共检测到 512 条记录，其中 21 条符合标准。影响运动持久性的因素多种多样。个体因素和微观系统层面的因素占比较大。中观和宏观层面的因素占比较小，且仅与其他（个体或微观系统层面）因素一起测量。在个体层面（如性别、年龄、与职业相关的变量和积极的心理因素）、微观层面（如家庭、同伴和教练）、中观层面（如气候）和宏观层面（文化、社会和制度影响）检测到的大多数因素与运动持久性呈正相关，即支持运动员参与体育活动的持久行为。总之，关于运动持久性的研究仍有很大的空间。应该考虑包括中观和宏观系统的变量，并进行纵向研究，这将有助于我们更好地理解运动持久性的本质。
