Abstract
Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate the relationship of sports participation with achievement, motivation, and innovation traits among university students.
Methodology. A sample of 325 students was approached at the University of Lahore and the University of Punjab, through a convenience sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis were applied for data analysis. The reliability of the instrument was α = 0.93.
Main Findings: It was found that only14.2% of the students were active in regular sports participation and 45% had shown their interest in sports while 10.8% were undecided. The student's level of interest was above moderate. Sports Participation had no significant (p>0.05) association with age, gender, institute, locality, and family income. Sports Participation, innovation, achievement, and motivation had a significant and positive association. Innovation, achievement, and motivation were significant and positive predictors of sports participation. It is concluded that these factors were not inhibitors.
Applications of this study: The university authorities should make serious efforts to develop modalities for sports participation of the students. Most of the available studies show the relationship of sports participation with demographical, social, and structural factors among the athletes or students while the current study describes the association of sports participation not only with biographical factors of the university students but also with their traits like achievement, motivation, and innovation.
