Abstract
Considers participation in sport as a developmental task, and identifies three stages in the developmental progression of sport involvement: competitive (during young adulthood), family (during middle age), and social (at older ages). Offers hypotheses regarding the social and economic factors involved in determining variations in sport participation throughout the life span. Analyzes data collected from a national sample n=1,319) of Americans sport attitudes and behaviours. Results suggest that factors influencing sport participation change within the various age cohorts as social and economic life styles change. Verf.-Referat
