댄스스포츠 참여자들의 지속의지와 중도포기의 관계

Abstract

This research is intended to analyze the relationship between continuance will and dropout of dancesport participants, to prevent them from exercise dropout, to help them continuously participate in exercise and to provide information. The subjects of this study are 273 people who are engaged in dancesports as living physical training or elite physical training in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon(male:112, female:161, total: 273). Subjects are classified in terms of age into teens and those who are in their 20s and older; in terms of experience into up to 5years, 10years and 15years; in terms of levels into professional, amateur and pre-amateur; in terms of main types of dancesports into Latin, Modern and Latin & Modern; and in terms of current status into discontinuance and abandonment and active players to investigate the relevance between demographic characteristics and willingness to continue or discontinue dancesports. To examine the willingness to continue, the questionnaire suggested by Sung-Hun Choi(2004) is used here, whilst to find out the discontinuance the one suggested by Jin-O Jeong(2005) is used. For data processing, Windows SPSS 18.0 Version statistics program is used together with One-way ANOVA and standard multiple regression analysis. Statistically significant differences undergo post hoc tests based on Scheffe’s method. As a result, the following findings were revealed. First, there were statistically significant differences in exercise continuance will, according to demographical characteristics of dancesport participants. Secondly, there were partially significant differences in the relationship with dropout, depending on demographic properties of participants. Third, there were statistically significant differences in the relationship with continuance will and dropout of dancesport participants.
