| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to investigate the influence of demographic variables on students’ choice of sports activities in secondary schools in Lagos state. The variables studied were socio-economic status, gender, religion and cultural belief of the students. The sample comprised two hundred and fifty (N-250) junior and senior secondary school students of selected schools in Lagos State. Data were collected from the participants with a self-structured validated questionnaire. Results were obtained through descriptive statistics of simple percentage and chi-square analysis used to test the stated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that socio-economic status, gender, religion and cultural belief significantly influenced students’ choice of sports activities in secondary schools in Lagos state. Based on these findings it was recommended that demographic variables such as socio-economic status of the students, gender, religion and cultural belief should be considered in construction of sports facilities in secondary schools in Lagos state. The findings further suggested that the demographic variable should be the basis for planning sports programmes in the secondary schools | en_US |
