Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the reasons for dropout of the sport and its relationship with the goal orientations. 83 students participated (48 males and 35 females), aged between 19 and 26 years, who had dropout their sports. For the evaluation of the variables used three questionnaires, an ad hoc to socio-demographics variables, other for the assessment of motivational orientations and a third for the evaluation of the causes of dropout sports. The results indicate that the major cause of dropout was the difficulty in balancing their studies with sports and other activities, a progressive decrease in the motivation and the influence of significant others, also found a positive relationship between ego orientation and Low Form & Lack of Fun factors, and a negative relationship between Task orientation and Low Performance.
