Sažetak
There are various motivational reasons why someone plays tennis recreationally. PURPOSE: The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in motivation with regard to gender and age, and the combination of these two categories. METHODS: The study included 116 participants (M=66, W=50), aged 25 to 68 (AM=38.6) who play tennis recreationally once or twice a week. The study was conducted according to the Campbell questionnaire. Participants were divided by age and gender groups. Within the gender group, male and female participants are distinguished, and within the age group, they are divided into: younger age (25–40 years) and older age (40-68). RESULTS: The results of a multivariate two-factor analysis of variance have shown that with regard to gender there is a statistically significant difference (p< 0.05) in motivational reasons for playing tennis. Differences in results related to age and age-sex interaction are not statistically significant. The most important motives that arose in the respondents were: relaxing and forgetting about worries, playing tennis for fun and feeling physically in good shape. CONCLUSION: Playing tennis at a recreational level represents an overall positive impact on human health.
