Sports Practice Motivation of Students at Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism (N = 485)

Cultural and artistic majors. In addition, because students have to participate in many social activities such as music and cultural and artistic programs, participating in sports activities will take a lot of time. In addition, studying and taking exams for compulsory courses of Physical Education in school has also caused students to feel afraid, so extracurricular sports activities are no longer interesting to students.

At the same time, it also reflects the limitations of organizing, building content, form and facilities for extracurricular sports activities, not paying attention to the psychological characteristics of students, to the specific profession of students, so there are no measures to increase students' interest in participating in activities.

Therefore, during the teaching process, lecturers need to focus on raising students' awareness of participating in physical training, fostering students' interest and habits in extracurricular physical training. From the results of the current situation and needs of students in extracurricular physical training, we continue to study students' motivation to practice. The results are presented in Table 3.7.
