Abstract

This study aims to explore the moderating effect of the nature of sport on the relationship between lifestyle and sports engagement for different types of sports and how it affects each student-athlete. A sample comprised of 408 consisting of 29.9% individual sports (n=122), 18.87% dual sports (n=77), and 51.23% (n=209) student-athletes answered a packet of questionnaires assessing lifestyle and sport engagement. The results showed that overall lifestyle is a significant predictor of sports engagement, as students who demonstrate good exercise habits, engage in regular exercise, and maintain good nutrition are more likely to engage in sports. Interestingly, the type of sport did not significantly affect sports engagement. These findings provide empirical evidence that the type of sport does not moderate the relationship between lifestyle and sports engagement, which suggests that student-athletes can participate in any sport of their choice, whether it is an individual or dual sport or a team sport, to support them in achieving their maximum potential. However, there may be other factors that moderate the relationship between student-athletes' lifestyles and sports engagement that require further investigation.

Abstract

Background: Numerous studies have explored the effect of coach-athlete relationships on athletes' burnout, yet there has been a notable gap in the mediating role of coach leadership.Aim: This study sought to investigate how perceived coach leadership affects athlete burnout and its implications for the quality of coach-athlete relationships.Methods: A total of 248 athletes from individual, dual, and team sports participated, comprising 142 (57.26 percent) males and 106 (42.74 percent) females, aged between 18 and 35 years (M= 20.24, SD = 2.02), all based in Iligan City. The study examined the variables and their connections by employing a descriptive-correlational methodology. The researchers utilize a snowball sampling technique to expand the sample through referrals.Results: The findings revealed that coach leadership does not directly mediate the relationship between the coach-athlete dynamic and athlete burnout. However, the quality of the coach-athlete relationship significantly impacts burnout. Key relationship factors, such as emotional closeness, complementarity, and commitment, play crucial roles. Athletes who reported stronger relational bonds with their coaches, characterized by trust, open communication, and shared goals, experienced lower levels of burnout. Conversely, weaker relationships, marked by conflict or lack of emotional connection, were linked to higher burnout levels. Conclusion: While coach leadership does not serve as a mediator, it plays a vital role in fostering a supportive coach-athlete relationship, significantly reducing burnout. This study emphasizes the significance of fostering robust relationships between coaches and athletes to reduce athlete burnout. Sports coaches should prioritize relationship-building over merely employing leadership skills since this can significantly enhance an athlete's emotional resilience and mental well-being. Coaches must emphasize cultivating closeness with athletes by promoting open communication, trust, and empathy.
