学生アスリートにおける学業と競技の両立意識の実態とその背景（研究ノート）

スポーツ産業学研究、2019 年 29 巻 4 号 p. 4_281-4_291

In Japan, the UNIVAS (Japan Association for University Athletics and Sport, the nation-wide organization for governing intercollegiate sport in Japan) was established in March, 2019, and since then student-athletes have become required to balance between academics and athletics (A/A balance). However, it is unknown the degree to which this consciousness exists at this stage. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship among student-athletes’ profile/achievement, their consciousness of A/A balance, and their expectation for those advantages in relation to the new graduate job market (i.e., Student-athlete Premium, SAP). We conducted a questionnaire survey with 3,556 student-athletes who had come to joint job fairs or events held 6 times during the spring of 2019 (from the end of January until the middle of March) by the Athlete Planning Co., Ltd., which has supported student-athlete career development as a business for over a decade in Japan. After data cleaning, 1,299 student-athletes who were engaged in team sports (male: 929; female: 370) were subjected to statistical analysis. It was revealed that the variables associated with consciousness of A/A balance and expectation for SAP were significantly diverse, and influenced by gender and by both academic and athletic performance/achievement during their college days. However, those dispersions were correlated with neither the college’s/university’s prestige nor the student-athletes’ way of admission, which means they had not been determined before becoming college athlete.
