Sports Participation Questionnaire for Senior High School Students

Background. Understanding the factors that influence students' sports participation is crucial, and one effective way to collect this data is through questionnaires. Methods. This study consisted of four phases: the preparation stage and translation process, validation procedures, and field trials. Seven experts provided assessments based on three components: material, clarity, and feasibility. The trial was conducted using the test-retest method, involving 55 samples involved in 12 types of sports. The average age of the participants was 15 years 7 months, consisting of 19 women and 36 men. Results. The results showed that the expert assessment quantitatively produced a value of r = 0.95, included in the high category. All items had a calculated r value > r table (0.266) for item validity, meaning all items were declared valid. The test-retest shows an intraclass correlation value of 0.957, which means this sports participation instrument is reliable. Conclusion: This study implies that this instrument can effectively measure student participation in sports in school environments and similar studies. This is important for policymakers, educators, and researchers in formulating appropriate interventions to increase student participation in sports activities, ultimately improving their health and well-being.
