THE VALUE-NEEDS OF SPHERES WHO ARE UNPROFESSIONALLY ENGAGED IN SPORTS

Abstract

Fifty people who regularly play sports on a non-professional level have been studied. For this purpose, such methods were used: “Hierarchy of Needs” modified by I. Akindinova, “Value Orientations” by M. Rokich, “Morphological Test of Life Values” by V. F. Sopov, L. V. Karpushyna, “Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-Being”. It is empirically found that the duration of sports affects the formation of the value-needs sphere. The more active the subjects are in sports, the clearer they begin to understand their capabilities and needs. Increasing the number of trainings has a positive effect on various areas of their professional and social life. A comparison of the value-needs sphere of the subjects with different levels of physical activity showed that statistically significantly higher indicators of life values are demonstrated by more physically active persons. It was found that the values of self-development, achievement, passion, spiritual satisfaction come first. People who often play sports are more socially active, because sports achievements have a positive effect on self-confidence. Over time, they have a growing need to realize their potential and make changes in various spheres of life, applying new approaches and new abilities. It is established that in people with increased physical activity, the value of creativity is higher. It is important for them to realize their creative potential, the desire to change the surrounding reality, doing something new, unconventional way. Statistically significant differences in persons with different levels of physical activity were found in terms of psychological well-being. With the growth of physical activity improves the attitude to yourself and your past experience, the ability to meet the requirements of everyday life, to develop and implement their life plans, to interact positively with others.
