The Impact of Sport Activities on Young Critical Thinking

Abstract

Starting from the premise that sports activities can positively impact young people's critical thinking development, our article aims to analyze the three-dimensional relationship between the skills of young people - their desire to carry out sports activities - the development of critical thinking. Based on a questionnaire distributed to young people who carry out sports activities, we observed that these activities contribute to developing young people's critical thinking. We used SEM-PLS and concluded that critical openness is an essential motivational factor both for the performance of sports activities and for developing critical thinking.
