El abandono deportivo entre los adolescentes es una de las preocupaciones mayores con la que nos encontramos técnicos, organizadores y padres. Se ha estudiado desde la perspectiva de los mismos practicantes, concluyendo que éste se produce por diversas causas. El objeto de este artículo es conocer las razones y el momento en el que tiene lugar el abandono deportivo, así como el porcentaje de jóvenes que continúan su práctica deportiva según los educadores deportivos. La población objeto de estudio está formada por los técnicos del deporte escolar de una comarca aragonesa. Hemos utilizado la metodología cuantitativa mediante encuestas, cuestionario autoadministrado con presencia del aplicador. Las técnicas cuantitativas de análisis de datos han sido realizadas informáticamente con el SPSS 12.0. De los resultados podemos destacar que abandonan cuando pierden el interés y son muy pocos los jóvenes que continúan realizando práctica deportiva en opinión de los técnicos

School-Age Involvement in Sport and Perceived Quality of Sport Services

Creating an active and healthy lifestyle starts in infancy and adolescence. A number of individual and collective factors affect whether or not sport is taken up and continued, which is an essential element in achieving a healthy lifestyle in adolescence and extending this into adult life. This study sets out to determine the perceived quality of the sport service provided by schools with organised physical activities, and whether the most positively assessed public organisations have a higher percentage of participation than those with a more negative assessment. The study population was 1109 adolescents from 28 towns comprising part of a sport provision system. A self-devised questionnaire with all the necessary properties, validity and reliability was conducted. The results showed that 42% of the adolescents take part in organised physical sport, and give the service provided a positive assessment. It was found that in organisations with a more positive assessment, the town has a higher rate of involvement in sporting activities
