Abstract

Social relations are great significance in stimulating sports activities. A question naire conducted with 312 athletes as to the subjectively experienced influence exerted by various external and internal determinants reveals the dominant role played by social relations. Starting off from the central significance of social re lations in a sports group stress was laid on four variables which exert a decisive influence on the quality of communication and cooperation in a group. They find their expression in the ability and readiness of the individual members of the team to cooperate in activities, in the norms of the group, in the structural relations between members of the group and in the integration of the teams with larger communities.
