Qiuju Lin, Milan Kubiatko, Muhammet Usak
We can define three main factors that become an obstacle on the way of the development of new basketball professionals: insufficient development of certain educational factors; tobacco consumption and the decrease of health quality and activity that is associated with it; engagement with Internet activities. The absence of at least one of these factors would help to effectively influence the young people’s interest in basketball and further development in this field. The participants of the research experiment were 46 teachers of physical education from three Chinese institutes and 765 students (both local and international) from the same institutes. Three surveys were conducted within the course of the research – diagnostic control and additional. Between the diagnostic and control stages, the coaches-participants visited a set of lectures on the formation of the students’ motivation and on the smoking dangers for sportsmen. As a result of the anti-tobacco lectures that were conducted at the end of classes by the coaches-participants of the experiment, the percentage of those students who were ready to give up smoking grew from 9% to 23%.
