The aim of our study is to examine
correlations between the level of involvement in sport
activities and the preference of watching sports. Our
other question concerns the possible effects of the attitudes
of the elementary school pupils regarding sports upon levels
of competition. The questionnaire was completed (N=568) in
five schools of the North-eastern Region of Hungary among
pupils between the age of 10 – 14. We completed the survey
between February and March 2013. According to our results,
the level of involvement in competitions is determining
concerning the attitudes towards sport programmes. The
more active somebody is in professional (“pro”) sports
the more he/she likes sport programmes on television.
(Pearson Chi-Square = 0.000). This has also proven that
87% of the students who enter international or national sport
competitions do sport activities at least three times a week.
55% of those students who love to watch sport and other
related programmes on TV are involved in sport activities at
least three times a week. Proportionality can be observed
between popularity of sport programmes on TV and sport
events followed on the internet because 74% of those who
search for those kinds of information and contents on the internet
prefer such TV programmes.
Key words: sport, level of involvement
