dc.description.abstract | Sport coaches have paradoxical attitudes towards addressing health
promotion as a part of their coaching practice: health is recognized as an
important factor, but not greatly invested in. Overall, the extent to which
youth sport coaches take health promotion into account has been unclear.
Therefore, it is the intention of this study to clarify this situation. The results
show that coaches evaluate their own activity on health promotion as being
relatively active, whereas young male athletes’ evaluations reveal a wide
gap in how they perceived the coaches’ activity. Young male athletes
perceived their coaches as being substantially more passive in comparison
to coaches’ self-evaluations. This difference may indicate either that
coaches’ health promotion activity is generally infrequent or that what is
done is broadly ineffective. Either way, as the global health-related
problems of decreasing physical activity, increasing sedentary lifestyles,
and obesity are all issues affecting youths attending sports clubs, arguably
there is a need for youth sport coaches to invest more in health promotion
activities. However, the coaches need more support from the sports clubs. | |
