Motives for participation in different sports

01.10.2016

The fit between motives and incentives seems crucial for the initiation and maintenance of a sport practise. A valid analysis of motives and knowledge about incentives of the diverse sports may contribute to optimise this fit. This study aims to validate the Bernese Motive and Goal Inventory (BMZI) in a population of physical active adults, and to examine its qualities to differentiate between sports specific motive profiles. Furthermore, the study aims to compare different sports and to analyse clusters.
