Description of the research topic:
It is well-known that participation in sport has a positive impact on a person's lifestyle, health and health-awareness, regardless of gender and age (Fraser-Thomas & Côté, 2006; Garber et al., 2011). Participation in sport from childhood promotes optimal psychophysical development and the acquisition of a healthy lifestyle maintained in later life (Bailey et al., 2009; Gill et al., 2013). Regular and optimally pursued sporting activities can develop a range of personality traits, including motivation, activity, self-discipline, perseverance, bravery, willpower, self-confidence, pain tolerance or realistic self-evaluation (Pikó & Keresztes, 2007; Gyömbér & Kovács, 2012). A key indicator of performance may be sport persistence, a complex concept, the terminology used to express the mastery, form, level and effectiveness of the sporting activity. The aim of the research is to investigate the sporting habits and health behaviour of high school and university students (including competitive and recreational athletes), detect the characteristics of sport persistence, explore the factors involved in its development, and use the research results in a practical way. Qualitative (semi-structured interviews) and quantitative research methods (survey) can be used to investigate the phenomena.
