Running practice: motivation and its influence on life satisfaction
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of motivations for running practice on the life satisfaction of amateur runners. The study is characterized as a quantitative research. The data collection procedure adopted was the E-survey, where individuals were invited through social networks to answer an online survey form available on the Google Drive platform. The sample consisted of 158 runners. The instrument used was a questionnaire composed of: (i) motivations; (ii) life satisfaction; (iii) running profile (iv) characterization of demographic data. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Statistics 24 software. The analysis of the predictive value of the independent variables resulted in a statistically significant model [F (3, 154) = 13.06; <0.001; R² = 0.20]. Specifically, the social factor exerted the strongest influence (β = 0.325), followed by entertainment (β = 0.198). As a conclusion, the motivations for running practice prove to be significant factors for life satisfaction.
