“…In Subscale 3 (Learning from role models/parents), no significant difference was found between the groups; however, we should emphasise here that the scores on this scale were low. Such a finding causes concern because the lack of positive role models was demonstrated to be one of the main reasons that children give up sports [ 40 ]. Similar findings were obtained by Crnjac in 2017.…”

No research was previously performed on wrestling related to parental support. It is not known whether there are differences in support between younger and older children. The popularity of a sport can be reflected in parental support, and parents may be more inclined towards popular sports. The aim of this research was to examine differences in parental support among wrestlers of different age categories and between those coming from communities in which wrestling is a popular sport versus communities in which it is less popular. The sample of participants consisted of 172 wrestlers. The Parental Support Scale for Children in Sports was applied. Parental willingness to set an example was lower. As far as age is concerned, the period of entry into specialisation is sensitive. At this age, children perceive less parental support (p = 0.04) and lower parental belief in the benefits of sports (p = 0.01). The popularity of the sport is related to parental support. In environments in which wrestling is popular, parents know the sport better and can participate; therefore, children perceive more parental support. The findings of this study may help coaches to better understand athlete–parent relationships.

“…Kopnina (2020) critiques the Education for Sustainable Development Goals' alignment with the growth paradigm, highlighting how it exacerbates inequalities and environmental degradation and advocates alternative ecocentric education models. Understanding causal relationships is even more important as the environment and ecology are increasingly connected to many aspects of the current economy and society: responsible consumption (Hosta & Zabkar, 2021;Lubowiecki-Vikuk et al, 2021), ecological activism (Wallis & Loy, 2021), education and awareness (Manolis & Manoli, 2021), and ecological tourism and sports (Haibo et al, 2020;Ciocan & Milon, 2017;McCullough et al, 2020).…”

Research background: This study identifies the key factors influencing environmental health across a global panel of countries, focusing on protection from environmental hazards, as informed by the existing literature, while also shedding light on novel aspects of these causal relationships. Purpose of the article: This study aims to reveal, through a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, the underexplored phenomena of spatial diffusion and contagion of national environmental behaviors and the nonlinear dynamics between environmental performance and its determinants, acknowledging the significant diversity in the characteristics and behaviors of the countries studied. Methods: Spatial analysis and econometric methods, including spatial panel regression alongside dynamic panel models using threshold techniques, were employed to meet the study’s objectives. Findings & value added: This study’s major finding is that environmental performance across nations shows significant clustering influenced by economic and institutional factors. This clustering effect arises from spatial contagion and diffusion processes, as evidenced by spatial panel regression analysis. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that variations in environmental behavior can be attributed to differing levels of development and specific internal conditions within countries. Notably, a country’s gross domestic product and the proportion of industries in its economy have a substantial effect on its environmental health practices, establishing distinct impact thresholds. This research enriches academic dialogue by illustrating, through these thresholds, that in less developed countries, an increased industrial share leads to environmental degradation. Moreover, the influence of the other examined factors varied depending on the category of the country under review, highlighting the nuanced effects of economic and institutional variables on environmental outcomes.

“…Participation motivation includes the processes of starting, continuing and withdrawing from sports activity (Ciocan, Milon & Mareş, 2017). For example, the future expectations of children who perceive themselves as successful in sports cause higher motivation and continued participation than those who perceive themselves as unskilled (Marcen, Gimeno, Gomez, Saenz & Gutierrez, 2013).…”

Education is expected to help individuals to be developed at the highest level by revealing their hidden powers and abilities. Sports is one of the important factors that helps children with need special education to take their places in daily life, to connect them to life by socializing, to orient themselves with motivation and to accept the idea that disability is not an obstacle to continue living. In this study, it was aimed to determine sport participation motivation levels of children with special educational needs. Method; descriptive survey model from quantitative research methods was used in the research. A total of 60 (20 Girls, 40 Boys) children from Mersin special education practice schools participated in the study. In the research, a personal information form prepared by the researchers and the "Scale of Motivation for Participation in Sports in Persons with Disabilities (SMPSPD)" developed by Tekkurşun, İlhan, Esentürk and Kan (2018) were used as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the data obtained in the research; Descriptive statistics and t-test, Pearson Moment Correlation, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. According to the findings; the mean scores of internal and external motivation of children who participated in sports activities were significantly higher than those who did not participate in sports activities. While there was no significant difference according to gender, a positive significant difference was found between the age and intrinsic motivation level of the children. As a result; It can be concluded that children with special educational needs have high motivation to participate in sports.
