Peculiarities of Sport Athlete Motivation (13–17 year) in Different Branches of Sports

Summary/Abstract: Some conducted research (Gillet et al., 2010; Lorimer, 2011) reveals that athletes’ satisfaction and motivation have a large impact on their results. Hence, it is important to further explore how to create most beneficial conditions for the development of young athletes’ sport performance in different branches of sport seeking for the attainment of the highest results and long-term goals. The sample of the current research included 211 athletes (15,28 ± 1,63 years) divided into 5 groups according to the types of sport. The questionnaire concerning motivation for sport was devised on the basis of the Sport Motivation Scale (Pelletier et al., 1995) that is applied in Lithuania (Grajauskas, 2008). The athletes were also asked to fill in the Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire compiled by Riemer and Chelladurai (1998).
