Abstract
We examined the effect of an integrated program of Olympic education on adolescent athletes' Olympic values and their behavior in sport. Participants were 747 adolescent athletes (482 boys and 265 girls aged between 13 and 18 years) attending Lithuanian schools implementing (n = 430) or not implementing (n = 317) an integrated Olympic education program. Participants completed questionnaires about Olympic values and prosocial and antisocial behavior in sport. Results showed that adolescent athletes from schools not implementing an Olympic education program scored lower than athletes from schools where this program was implemented, on human values of Olympism, social virtues of Olympism, individual pursuit of excellence, and prosocial behavior in sport.
