Professional Coaching and Sports Adaptability of Students in Dance Sports

Abstract

This study aimed to shed light on the relationship between the level of sports coaching professionalism and sports adaptability among university students. This study employed a quantitative comparative correlational research design to investigate the relationship between sport coaching professionalism and sports adaptability among university students. The research included 80 Physical Education (PE) students from a chosen university in Xian, China, who were selected using a census sampling technique. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: demographic profile, assessment of sport coaching professionalism, and current level of sports adaptability. The data analysis included descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests to determine the relationship in the assessment of sport coaching professionalism and sports adaptability among university students. It was evident that there was a negative correlation of -0.168 between the level of sport coaching professionalism and the current level of sports adaptability among the university students. However, the significance level (.137) indicated that this correlation was not statistically significant. It was implied that there was no strong linear relationship between the students' assessment of the level of sport coaching professionalism and their current sports adaptability.
