Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the social maturity of sustained sport-for-all participants on their physical and mental health. The subjects in this study were 190 company employees who were selected by convenience sampling from among the residents in Gangwon Province. The selected office workers continued to participate in sport-for-all programs. After a survey was conduced from November 7 to 25, 2011, the statistical package SPSS WIN 18.0 was employed to analyze the collected data. To find out the general characteristics of the subjects, frequency analysis was made, and the reliability test of the instrument and factor analysis were carried out. Descriptive statistics analysis was made by factor, and multiple regression analysis was utilized to look for connections among their variables. As a result, it's found that the social maturity of the sustained sport-for-all participants made a significant difference to their physical health, and that their social maturity made a significant difference to mental health as well. As sustained sport-for-all participation was found to be correlated to their physical and mental health, office workers should be given a chance to participate in sport-for-all on a long-term basis.
본 연구는 지속적인 생활스포츠 참여자의 사회적 성숙이 신체적 정신적 건강에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 시행하였다. 대상자는 지속적으로 생활체육프로그램에 참가하고 있는 강원도 거주 직장인들로써 2011년 11월 7일부터 25일까지 편의추출법을 이용하여 190명을 설문조사하였고 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 활용하여 빈도분석과 측정도구의 신뢰도 및 요인분석 실시로 조사 대상자의 일반적 특성을 조사(하고), 각 요인에 대한 기술통계분석과 변수간의 관계를 위한 상관관계 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 직장인의 지속적인 생활스포츠 참여로 인한 사회적 성숙은 신체적 정신적 건강에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 지속적인 생활스포츠 참여가 직장인의 신체적 건강과 정신적 건강 간의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 직장인들에게 지속적인 생활스포츠 참여 기회를 부여하는 것이 필요하다.
