Introduction: The expansion of sports and related activities has made this type of activity one of the most attractive activities accepted worldwide. Accordingly, the present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of the presence of national team athletes in sports clubs on the level of sports motivation of youth in Arak city.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study targeted young athletes as the research population. Data were collected using the Sports Motivation Questionnaire and the Sports Participation Motivation Questionnaire. For this purpose, 141 athletes referring to sports clubs in Arak city were selected as the sample size.
Results: The findings indicated that the presence of national team athletes, observing their training sessions, membership in a club that includes national athletes, and their role-model status can significantly impact the sports motivation and sports participation motivation of youth in Arak City (P < 0.001). In addition, the results of this study showed that there is no significant difference between sports participation motivation and sports motivation by gender (P < 0.001). The analysis of variance test results revealed a significant inverse relationship between age and the scores of both sports participation motivation and sports motivation (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: According to the results obtained, it can be said that attending or observing the training or competitions of national team athletes has an impact on the sports motivation of Arak's youth. Finally, it is emphasized that sports policymakers should take advantage of the active presence of national athletes at club levels to increase the motivation and sports participation of young people.
