- Abstract
The theoretical framework of this study includes the Self-Determination Theory. The aim of this study was to reveal self-motivation and satisfaction with sports activities among sambo athletes according to sex, age, sport experience and their performance in competition, and to trace the interconnections and interdependencies between them. Method: The research was done among 74 athletes in sambo, 52 men, 22 women; aged 13 to 35 years, with mean age 21,6 years. The used questionnaires were: the Bulgarian versions of the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) and the Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire (ASQ). The results showed that the participants in the present study scored higher on self-determined types of intrinsic motivation than on non self-determined types of motivation. There were correlation interdependences among the components of self-motivation and satisfaction with sports activities. Conclusion: The results may be used as a fundament for creating different training programs which will form certain skills, necessary for a more active and efficient coping, as well as for a higher self-determined motivation in sports activities.
