Assessing the Sports Program and Performance of Athletes in Selected Public High Schools

Abstract

Sport promotes good health in students, as athletes are fitter and healthier than others, and these students are typically more active, self-assured, and enthusiastic. The study assessed the level of adequacy of sports facilities, equipment, and sports performance of the public high schools in Tinambacan District, Schools Division of Calbayog City. Descriptive-correlation research method was employed using the survey questionnaire. This study used a total enumeration as a sampling procedure since all MAPEH teachers and school heads served as the respondents. Results revealed that there is still a lack of MAPEH teachers among schools, budget allocation for sports was too meager, sports clubs were established, and sports development programs. Nevertheless, most of their athletes have participated in regional and national sports competitions. More so, the sports facilities and equipment were deemed “adequate.” Despite the unavailability of state-of-the-art sports equipment and facilities, the performance of athletes in public high schools was generally viewed as good. The study also disclosed that the number of MAPEH teachers, budget, and sports training and development programs was considered predictors of sports participation, but not sports organizations. The number of MAPEH teachers, expected budget, presence of sports groups, and current sports training and development were also predictive of athlete success, but not the degree of involvement. Athletes' performance and sports facilities and equipment quality are directly correlated. As a result, the researcher suggests that the sports development program be enhanced and that greater emphasis be placed on the holistic development of the learners.
