“…Therefore, studying the sport motivation of Chinese and Russian student-athletes and its determining factors is important for understanding long-term commitment to sports and physical activity. Past research on sport motivation has been conducted either on non-sport students (Deng et al, 2023 ) or on student-athletes in the context of the dual-career theory (Stambulova et al, 2015 ). In the first and second case, the authors do not consider the differences between Eastern and Western culture and its influence on athletic motivation.…”

Emotional intelligence is considered as an important factor impacting on sports motivation of students-athletes. Meanwhile the role of culture in the development of emotional intelligence is still insufficiently studied in sports psychology. The purpose of the study included comparing the indicators of emotional intelligence of student-athletes in China and Russia, identifying the relationship between emotional intelligence, sports motivation and physical activity, as well as studying the prognostic effect of emotional intelligence on autonomous motivation. The research was done among 474 student- athletes. In Chinese students sample (N = 281), the 163 men and 118 women. In the Russian student sample (N = 193), there were 64 men and 129 women. The following research methods were used: emotional intelligence scale, the sport motivation scale-6, the international physical activity questionnaire. The results of the study have showed that the level of emotional intelligence of Chinese student-athletes is higher than that of Russian students-athletes. Positive correlations between emotional intelligence, autonomous motivation and physical activity were found in both samples. At the same time, the correlation coefficient in the Russian sample was lower. A predictive relationship between emotional intelligence and autonomous motivation has been established; meanwhile the self-assessment of emotions and emotion regulation make the greatest contribution to autonomous motivation in the Chinese sample, while in the Russian sample there is only the use of emotions. Considering the cultural context can contribute to the preparation effective programs for the development of emotional intelligence and autonomous motivation for physical activity.

The study is about the predictive role of health awareness on sports engagement. Health awareness was measured in terms of responsibility, and motivation while sports engagement was measured in terms of vigor, dedication, and absorption. Data were gathered through an online survey using adopted tools. The result showed that the respondents know their self-health, responsibility, and motivation but are slightly engaged only in sports. Using multiple linear regression analysis, it was established that health awareness predicts sports engagement significantly.
