Sport persistence can be coded as an indicator of sport performance and commitment, incorporating personality traits such as resilience, adaptive coping, and positive personality traits. Thus, athletes do not merely persist in sporting activities but are qualitatively committed to them. In the present research, we used a qualitative methodology to investigate the factors underlying sport persistence, using Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model. In total, 133 high school and college student-athletes were surveyed in a semi-structured interview study. We set the following research question: How do the factors involved in developing sport persistence vary across athletes' gender, level of study, and level and type of sport? Data were analyzed along the lines of grounded theory. ATLAS.ti and IBM SPSS 22.0 statistical software were used for the analysis. Our analysis divided individual motivation into intrinsic (health promotion, habituation, becoming a competitive athlete, self-improvement, self-actualization, relaxation, and sport enjoyment) and extrinsic motivation (family-related motivation, coach, social relationships, competition, livelihood, recognition). The cross-tabulation analysis revealed that contrary to the general trend, no significant differences can be experienced in the core motivational patterns contributing to sport persistence. However, significant differences could be detected concerning the level of education, level of sporting activity, and type of sport. Our findings not only shed light on the unique factors underlying sport persistence, but also challenge the trends observed in traditional sport motivation analyses. This insight could potentially revolutionize how we approach youth sport promotion and physical activity among young people, making our research highly relevant and impactful.
运动坚持性可被编码为运动表现和投入度的一个指标，它包含诸如适应力、适应性应对和积极人格特质等个性特征。因此，运动员不仅坚持从事体育活动，而且在质量上对其全身心投入。在本研究中，我们运用定性研究方法，采用布伦芬布伦纳的社会生态模型来探究运动坚持性背后的因素。总共133名高中和大学生运动员参与了一项半结构化访谈研究。我们设定了以下研究问题：在运动员的性别、学业水平以及运动水平和类型方面，影响运动坚持性发展的因素是如何变化的？数据依据扎根理论进行分析。分析过程使用了ATLAS.ti和IBM SPSS 22.0统计软件。我们的分析将个体动机分为内在动机（促进健康、养成习惯、成为竞技运动员、自我提升、自我实现、放松和运动乐趣）和外在动机（与家庭相关的动机、教练、社会关系、竞争、生计、认可）。交叉制表分析显示，与一般趋势相反，在促成运动坚持性的核心动机模式方面未发现显著差异。然而，在教育水平、体育活动水平和运动类型方面能检测到显著差异。我们的研究结果不仅揭示了运动坚持性背后的独特因素，还对传统运动动机分析中观察到的趋势提出了挑战。这一见解可能会彻底改变我们促进青少年体育运动和年轻人身体活动的方式，使我们的研究具有高度的相关性和影响力。
