ABSTRACT.
Introduction: In this article, our aim is to examine the main reasons that lead university students to practice less and less physical sports activities. Objective: Identifying the differences that may exist between students who were enrolled at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, in the academic year 2011-2012, and those who were enrolled in the academic year 2019-2020, regarding the reasons that determine them to reduce the time allocated to physical sports activities. Methods: To find out why the level of participation of university students in various physical sport activities is very low, and tends to decrease from year to year, we conducted two studies, the first one in the 2011-2012 academic year (n=880 participants), and the second one, in the academic year 2019-2020 (n=594 participants), and we compared the results obtained. Results: The results of the study show the reasons for today’s short time allocated by students to physical activities and the reasons why they are too busy to play sports. The findings indicate that the main reason why students of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca practice less and less physical sports activities is because they are busier. The overloaded program from university is the main cause why some students have reduced the time allocated to sports activities. Other important factors are the lack of energy and the lack of sport facilities. Conclusions: Increasing educational requirements and reduced leisure time, justify a decrease in students’ interest in participating in extracurricular sports activities. To increase the motivation and future sport adherence of students, it would be necessary for universities and local public authorities to provide a motivational climate for practicing physical activities and sport.
