Conceptual Framework on Women Participation in Judo

Statistics conducted in many national sports federations, not only in Croatia but worldwide, show a significantly lower involvement of women in different sport positions, especially in terms of management positions (Skirstad, 2009 ; Borko, 2012 ; International Olympic Committee, 2017 ; Rendulić, Sindik i Čorak, 2014). Despite increased participation opportunities for girls and woman in sport, they are still underrepresented in leadership positions at all levels of sport (Burton, 2014). Based on such statistics, the most common conclusions are made regarding all sports organizations with the aim of encouraging greater involvement of women. The task of this paper is to establish a conceptual model that allows analysis of women's inclusion in sports as well as analysis of factors influencing this involvement depending on positions that woman in sports are engaged in. Such a very simple model with the help of statistical data on the share of women and their positions allows for more concrete conclusions about the activities that individual organizations can take to increase women's involvement and to remove barriers for attracting and retaining women in sports.
