Children motivational factors and quality assessment of artistic gymnastics online training sessions

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyse the motivational factors for artistic gymnastics (AG) online training sessions and the children's perception regarding the quality of this training. A sample of 39 children answered the Motivation for Sports Practice Inventory and a structured questionnaire to assess the quality of online sessions. A total of 67%, 53%, and 30% of the children reported the reasons related to “sports competence”, “health”, and “friendship/leisure” are “very important”, respectively. All dimensions evaluated in the structured questionnaire showed a percentage of satisfaction greater than 75%. Therefore, “Sports competence” is the main motivational factor for participation in AG online training sessions. Overall, children were satisfied with the quality of this online training.
