Social determinants of organized sports activities among the school population in Krapina-Zagorje County (Summary)

Summary/Abstract: This article provides an overview of empirical research into various aspects of organized sports activities among the (primary and secondary) school population in Krapina-Zagorje County. This is exploratory research based on the qualitative methodological approach, specifically on secondary data analysis and semi-structured interviews conducted on a purposive sample (N = 16) in the late summer / early fall of 2018. The following was found: pupils in general are becoming less involved in sports, and the reasons for this should be sought in lack of interest, adverse demographic trends, insufficient financial allocations, mediocre sports infrastructure, insufficient involvement of trained coaches and experts, inadequate formal regulatory framework, and a general lack of awareness of the positive effects of sport. Finally, the research emphasises the need to systematically promote organised sport among the target population, which would require the coordinated cooperation of a wide range of social actors.
