Abstract :

Sport orientation is one of the least researched topic in sports while sport engagement is the other way around. The purpose of the present study is to identify the sport orientation and the level of sport engagement of the students of a state-owned university in Central Luzon, and determine the correlation between the two variables. The sample consists of 240 university students. The sport orientation was identified using the Sport Participation Model Questionnaire (SPMQ), on the other hand, the level of sport engagement was identified using the Sport Engagement Scale (SES). The two instruments used both have acceptable reliability. Frequency distribution, descriptive statistics, and Pearson-r correlation were used for the data analysis. The results revealed leisure is the dominant orientation among the respondents. It was also revealed that the respondents have very high level of sport engagement. However, there was no significant correlation between sport orientation and the level of sport engagement of the university students. The findings of the study provide preliminary ideas on the sport orientation and sport engagement of students in the Philippine context.
